Dig.log
Welcome to Wikidata, Dig.log!
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.

vandalism edit
Hoi, I do think that you either do not understand what you are doing or you should not be here. One can be remedied the latter is a choice. Thanks, GerardM (talk) 20:29, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks a lot. I introduced an erroneous statement modifying the label of a property. When I realized you corrected it already. Thanks. --Dig.log (talk) 20:45, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
Misplaced ghetto edit
I am afraid either the location (Ukraine) is bad here - either the coordinates (Belarus). Please check Q30007431 and also the cited Yad Encyuclopedia. Thanks. Gikü (talk) 18:33, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks a lot. I will check in the sources/send to my colleagues and we will correct it in the next days.
- The problem was a error in the coordinates, we have corrected it. Thanks a lot again!!

Coordinates edit
Hey Dig.log, at Wikidata:Forum someone has complained that coordinates in Plauen (Baumwollspinnerei) concentration camp (Q47531779) are incorrect, and we found that this is also the case for Plauen (Industriewerke AG) concentration camp (Q47531787). Both coordinates geolocate (roughly) in Plauen (Q8949) (quarter of Dresden), but not in Plauen (Q3952) (city in Saxony) where the camps were actually located. I have thus deprecated these coordinates claims [1][2], and ask you to check sources again for correct values. If the coordinates are indeed given in the sources, we should try to find correct ones and save them as well (with normal rank). Any thoughts? Thanks, MisterSynergy (talk) 07:22, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
P248 instead of P143 edit
Hi, I noticed that (at least on one item) you have used stated in (P248) to cite Wikipedias, instead of using imported from Wikimedia project (P143) just to notice that the information comes from there (unnecessary IMO if there exists a valid source). Wikipedias generally are not considered valid sources: Help:Sources#Different_types_of_sources. It was noticed in Greek Wikipedia when in the relevant articles these wikipedias were cited in the references section through an automated infobox. -Geraki (talk) 12:21, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
Stari Grad concentration camp (Q45474868) edit
Please see: Talk:Q45474868. Thank You. --Gampe (talk) 18:44, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
Some more unclear coordinates of camps edit
On WikiShootMe I have stumbled upon two items – Grulich concentration camp (Q47515645) and Deutsch Petersdorf concentration camp (Q53865604) – that seem to have the same issue as others have discovered before: The coordinates of camp near city Králíky (Q1321460) (in German Grulich) are actually where municipality Králíky (Q1790508) (Kralik) is, some 90km westward. (see this map of subcamps). Similarly, Camp in Petrovičky (Q6426605) (part of Mladkov municipality, ger. Deutsch Petersdorf), not far from Grulich, has the coordinates of Petrovičky (Q770877) municipality (Klein Petrowitz) that is also far away and is probably a mistake, although neither Petrovičky are on the aforelinked map.--TFerenczy (talk) 10:38, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
The same goes for the Austrian camps, the local administrative entity has been wrong so far (even though the municipality is mentioned in the name of the camp). Where did you get these coordinates from? Braveheart (talk) 08:21, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
I've started to remove coordinates that are clearly wrong. I don't know where you got them from, but a cross-check with the German Wikipedia articles would've made this clear. Braveheart (talk) 08:35, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
