Logo of Wikidata Welcome to Wikidata, Cheers!!

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.

Best regards! --Bill william compton (talk) 04:58, 12 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I'm Andreasmperu. Welcome to Wikidata! I noticed that you recently removed a link from an item, but didn't add it anywhere else. If you feel that the link would be better suited to another item, please add it there. (If you don't know how to do that, feel free to contact me at my talk page and I can do it for you.) If you're curious about editing Wikidata, and would like to test things out, please try the Wikidata Sandbox. Thanks, and happy editing! --Andreasm háblame / just talk to me 04:16, 27 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Please propose the deletion of all blancked elements (to do so, you could activate the RequestDeletion gadget at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets). Otherwise, it would be better to wait until a bot completes the whole task (eliminating the sitelink and proposing the deletion of such element).

You are welcome. If you need any help, you know where to find me. Andreasm háblame / just talk to me 04:48, 27 May 2013 (UTC)Reply


Congratulations, Dear Administrator!

English | español | français | العربية | Nederlands | русский | +/−

 
An offering for our new administrator from your comrades... (our gift is better than the one at Commons or Meta)

You have your gun; now here's your badge: {{User admin}}/{{#babel:admin}} and {{Admin topicon}}. Enjoy!

Cheers!, congratulations! You now have the rights of administrator on Wikidata. Please take a moment to read the Wikidata:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Wikidata:Project chat and Wikidata:Administrators' noticeboard), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings, or modifications of protected pages.

Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikidata-admin @ irc.freenode.net. If you need access, you can flag someone down at #wikimedia-wikidata @ irc.freenode.net. You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading, although it doesn't always completely apply here at Wikidata. You may also want to consider adding yourself to meta:Template:Wikidata/Ambassadors, and to any similar page on your home wiki if one exists. (WT:Wikidata/Wikidatans on En-WP.)

Please also add/update the languages you speak to your listing at Wikidata:List of administrators. You may also like to add your username to this list if you would not like that items you delete at RfD get marked as deleted automatically. Again, welcome to the admin corps!

Q10792666

edit

I've restored this item, and linked it from Q1191284, thus making it notable. --Ricordisamoa 10:29, 28 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Same for Q10785093. --Ricordisamoa 10:33, 28 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
Q10792666 has only one species, and in all languages is redirected to species (Q1191284). It'd better to deleting it.--Cheers! (talk) 11:06, 28 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
I do not agree. Melophus lathami (Q1191284) needs parent taxon (P171)Melophus (Q10792666) for completeness (criterion #3 of Wikidata:Notability). --Ricordisamoa 14:58, 28 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
It's OK. I just redirect in vi.wp, keep all items here.--Cheers! (talk) 02:32, 29 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
edit

Hi Cheers! Please restore this item. It's used in Menura (Q214096). Thanks. --Succu (talk) 21:06, 3 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Done, thank for you report.--Cheers! (talk) 00:50, 4 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Merge-project requiring language skills

edit

Dear Wikidatan,

Even though Wikidata phase 1 (replacing interlanguage by Wikidata) is officially finished, there are still a lot a duplicate items that should be merged. Projects to list possible duplicates (and therefore possibles mergers) have been started by users such as Pasleim with User:Pasleim/projectmerge and Ivan A. Krestinin with User:Ivan A. Krestinin/To merge. Those bot-generated lists do however contain quite some false positives and therefore still need a human eye to decide whether to merge or not.

Since you are an administrator on Wikidata with knowledge of the Vietnamese language, User:Ivan A. Krestinin/To merge/viwiki might benefit from your help. As said, it lists couples of WD items that might possibly be merged. If you are already involved in these projects or not interested, I am sincerely sorry for bothering you.

With kind regards, FakirNL (talk) 00:01, 28 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Dear FakirNL, I'm please to join this activities. Kind regards,--Cheers! (talk) 13:31, 30 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
