Welcome to Wikidata, Emeritus!

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! Taketa

Wikidata:Country subdivision task force/Brazil edit

Ich habe dort auf der Seite einige Ergänzungen vorgenommen, vor allem zu den Municípios.

Am Beispiel Acre könnte ich versuchen, die benötigten zusätzlichen Eigenschaften aufzulisten. (Und ehrlich gesagt: Der Krempel ist mir zu kompliziert, da verliert man schon beim Anschauen die Lust mitzumachen). --Emeritus (talk) 00:14, 2 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Merging edit

Hi Emeritus. For merging items, you may want to use the merge.js gadget from help page about merging. It has an option "Request deletion for extra items on RfD" to automatically place a request to delete the emptied page. This way of nominating makes it a lot easier for the admins to process the requests. Regards, Jianhui67 talkcontribs 05:19, 3 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, I use the gadget in normal cases, but actually it's not fitting my working flow (major change in cattree de:WP for arts categories), there are mostly two items to merge into a third one. I'll keep merge.js in mind. --Emeritus (talk) 17:03, 3 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Call for participation in a task-based online experiment edit

Dear Emeritus,

I hope you are doing good,

I am Kholoud, a researcher at King's College London, and I work on a project as part of my PhD research, in which I have developed a personalised recommender system that suggests Wikidata items for the editors based on their past edits. I am collaborating on this project with Elena Simperl and Miaojing Shi.

I am inviting you to a task-based study that will ask you to provide your judgments about the relevance of the items suggested by our system based on your previous edits. Participation is completely voluntary, and your cooperation will enable us to evaluate the accuracy of the recommender system in suggesting relevant items to you. We will analyse the results anonymised, and they will be published to a research venue.

The study will start in late January 2022 or early February 2022, and it should take no more than 30 minutes.

If you agree to participate in this study, please either contact me at kholoud.alghamdi@kcl.ac.uk or use this form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSees9WzFXR0Vl3mHLkZCaByeFHRrBy51kBca53euq9nt3XWog/viewform?usp=sf_link I will contact you with the link to start the study.

For more information about the study, please read this post: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Kholoudsaa In case you have further questions or require more information, don't hesitate to contact me through my mentioned email.

Thank you for considering taking part in this research.

Regards

Sorry, it took some time until I realized that a wrong deWP-article was assigned. --Wurgl (talk) 09:10, 23 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
