Welcome to Wikidata, Cybertrip!

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.

Hi! I have notice that you don't agree with the birth name Amalaratna Zandile Dlamini. But there is no mentions of the name Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini in your references and on iswcnet.cisac.org I get the error: "An unexpected Error occurred, please contact your CIS-Net system administrator". Californiabirthindex states Amalaratna Zandile Dlamini. So, please find some reliable references that verifies the name Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini.

@Premeditated: Please see this discussion. The ISWC website is a bit faulty sometimes, but ASCAP is also 100% reliable if you'd like to use that instead. HeyitsBen (talk) 16:42, 8 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Hmmm.. I see that ASCAP states DLAMINI, AMALA RATNA so, maybe use that site as a source? Anyway on Wikidata we don't normally delete statements or overwrite, even if they are incorrect. We use deprecation with one of the following reasons. Keep up the good work at Wikidata. - Premeditated (talk) 18:03, 8 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
