Welcome to Wikidata, Arussom!
Wikidata is a free knowledge base that you can edit! It can be read and edited by humans and machines alike and you can go to any item page now and add to this ever-growing database!
Need some help getting started? Here are some pages you can familiarize yourself with:
- Introduction – An introduction to the project.
- Wikidata tours – Interactive tutorials to show you how Wikidata works.
- Community portal – The portal for community members.
- User options – including the 'Babel' extension, to set your language preferences.
- Contents – The main help page for editing and using the site.
- Project chat – Discussions about the project.
- Tools – A collection of user-developed tools to allow for easier completion of some tasks.
Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask on Project chat. If you want to try out editing, you can use the sandbox to try. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and become an active editor for Wikidata.

A few notes edit
Hi there! I'm PinkAmpersand. Thank you for your contributions. There are just a few things I thought you should know:
- Labels shouldn't contain any disambiguation. E.g. for Q849596, the proper label is Oregon City, not Oregon City, Oregon. See Help:Label for more information.
- Descriptions shouldn't be phrased as sentences, as explained by Help:Description.
I hope that helps, and please don't feel bad. You're doing a great job! — PinkAmpers&(Je vous invite à me parler) 17:18, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
- Understood, but... Why Mad Hatter (comics) was wrong? Mad Hatter is a character from Alice in Wonderland while this Mad Hatter is a character created by DC Comics based in the other one.

- The idea of Wikidata, though, is that a label is how you'd refer to something in day-to-day speech – you wouldn't say "I read a story about Mad Hatter (comics)", would you? Instead, we use the descriptions to clarify which Mad Hatter we're talking about. — PinkAmpers&(Je vous invite à me parler) 17:43, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
- Excellent!! So, my work will be add Descriptions :)
