Welcome to Wikidata, Ellicrum!

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.

Taxon = Taxon name

taxon (Q16521) appears to be a way of declaring something is an instance of a "taxon", as a taxonomist would understand that term. However, it's actually a way of declaring that something is a "taxon name". This endlessly confuses editors who don't regularly work on taxon items; hence your request at Help talk:Merge#Merge request for Q4666317 and Q72725 was perfectly understandable.

If you are interested, I have an essay about this at en:User:Peter coxhead/Wikidata issues#Confusion between taxa and taxon names. Peter coxhead (talk) 11:29, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi Peter coxhead, thank you for your message. I can actually see that the taxonomy isn't so easy to understand. I will read your recommendation page with interest. --Ellicrum (talk) 16:56, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Wrong merge

Hi Ellicrum, please don't merge a Wikimedia disambiguation page (Q4167410) with a defined item. I've tried to clean up the chaos you've created but it's to much. Please revert your edits for Q16878911 and Q97674394. A disambiguation page can't have native language (P103) etc. --Kolja21 (talk) 01:41, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello Kolja21, please forgive me for the confusion caused. I have already tried to restore the initial situation, but I don't know if it has been completely restored (i.e. clearly dissociate the homonym page from the demonym). To try to explain, this involuntary merger occurred when the page was created on the Wikipedia edition concerned (and not on Wikidata), where I surely pressed the wrong procedure. --Ellicrum _{(bablute [...])} 13:27, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

There were two merges (Q97674394 and again Q97674394). I'll try to fix it. --Kolja21 (talk) 15:22, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Pages d'homonymie

Bonjour Ellicrum,

Peux-tu relier les éléments qui sont réellement homonymes ? Tu me fais perdre beaucoup de temps.

Bonjour Bob08, afin qu'il n'y ait pas de malentendu, qu'est-ce que tu appelles les « éléments qui sont réellement homonymes » ? Si je comprends bien, si les liens interlangues doivent strictement partager le même titrage (si c'est écrit dans le marbre des recommandations), alors excuse-moi pour cette erreur récurrente. En réalité, je fais comme ça depuis une dizaine d'années !

Cependant, j'ai croisé à d'innombrables reprises le même sujet d'homonymie mais avec leur traduction respective dans chaque langue. Au pif « américain » et « marocain », pour reprendre uniquement l'exemple des gentilés. Si j'ai bien compris encore une fois, est-ce que ce n'est pas un vœu pieux de vouloir tout uniformiser ?
