Welcome to Wikidata, Dbult!

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.

Emptying items? edit

when managing Special:ShortPages, I can find five items (Q66569443, Q66569441, Q66569444, Q66543082, Q66505653), which you emptied. Should we delete them? If deleting then unique Foundational Model of Anatomy ID (P1402) are lost. Is it OK? Estopedist1 (talk) 11:33, 19 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I should have merged them instead. Now I do that rather than erase them. Dbult (talk) 11:59, 19 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
these items are still empty and not merged. Could you finish the task? Estopedist1 (talk) 06:08, 21 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Coude edit

Please do not make a mess of object elbow joint (Q11611456). and leave elbow (Q42586) unchanged. Your wish for an object for Coude must be solved by reusing som of these two or creating a new object, not by changing hte existing ones Yger (talk) 17:59, 22 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi Yger, sorry for the mess.
But that's because there is a conceptual error around the elbow and elbow joint objects. In french coude et articulation du coude are ambiguous terms. For coude can mean the anatomical region or the anatomical joint, but it's not specific to french language, I think.
The anatomical references FMA, TA98 and TA2 distinguish them :
For elbow : FMA, TA98, TA2
For elbow joint : FMA, TA98, TA2
Maybe articulation olécranienne (Q11611456) and humeroulnar joint (Q5940709) are the same and should be merged ?
I don't understand the articles associated with the object articulation olécranienne (Q11611456) (Japanese and Swedish).
What do you think about ? Dbult (talk) 19:11, 22 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
But then make a special object for the french article. Do not make a mess of the ones asociated with the two I remarked upon, they are correct. Yger (talk) 17:16, 24 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
It happens frequently that one word can mean multiple entities. The English word "arm" for example can refer to four different Wikidata items. We don't have an item for the English word arm. We have items for each of the different meanings. When it comes to anatomical items, focus first on the different meanings that exist and create items for them and then add the Wikipedia link to the page that fits best.
When a word in ambigiuous, do not try to match the ambigiouness in the items.
humeroulnar joint (Q5940709) is one of three parts of elbow joint (Q11611456).
As far as the elbow goes, there's the region of the elbow and there's the composite joint made up of Articulatio radioulnaris proximalis

Can you be more clear about what are first order and what are second order classes? edit

I see that you added phalanx of foot (Q184494) instance of (P31) endochondral bone (Q123421325). This suggests that endochondral bone (Q123421325) is a second order class. bone (Q265868) however is no second order class. The corresponding second order class is bone organ type (Q103843146).
