Welcome edit

 

Welcome to Wikidata, GeXeS!

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!

Q15651408 edit

Hi, you are right, Q15651408 (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Talk:Q15651408) and https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1544892 should be merged. However, I tried to do it, but was not able to do so. I have no idea how to fix this.Garnhami (talk) 11:17, 18 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello @Garnhami:! There might be a conflict with Commons link - one of them leads to another synonym of the species. Haven't tried it myslef, I hoped somebody more experience would stumble upon it and fix it someday... --GeXeS (talk) 11:52, 18 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
Yes, @GeXeS:, it says that there is a problem with the english version (there seem to be two of them). I have no clue myself how to fix it. So I guess we have to wait until someone fixes it. I have reported it on another page as well, but I do not really know where to really report this type of problems or who can fix it.Garnhami (talk) 11:57, 18 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Call for participation in a task-based online experiment edit

Dear GeXes,

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
