Welcome to Wikidata, Givet!

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!

@Pigsonthewing: Thank you so much. I will try to do my best but I know I am not perfect and do some errors. But as we said in France, only those doing nothing never do mistakes  :-D Have a lovely day. All the best to you. Givet (talk) 05:14, 4 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Please merge instead of blanking edit

  Thank you for your work in maintaining Wikidata. I have a small suggestion to improve your future work. If you notice that two items are duplicates, please merge them instead of blanking one of them as you did with the page Q96677657. External sites use Wikidata identifiers, so it is important that we preserve the chain of references. We do this by making one item a redirect for the other. In particular, item ids are intended to be a permanent identifier, so we never reuse them for another concept. See Help:Merge for more information on how to merge items, and consider installing the Merge Gadget. Thanks! Bovlb (talk) 21:03, 27 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Bovlb: Thank you so much  . In fact I blanked this page because I created it a few minutes before. The name I used was Steve E. Carpenter but I discovered that this person uses also the name Steven E. Carpenter... with an existing page. Sorry for that. Your solution is perfect and many times I seen some duplicate pages, so I will use your method in the future. This is great. One more time thanks a lot. Have a nice day.   Givet (talk) 06:25, 28 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Call for participation in a task-based online experiment edit

Dear Givet,

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

Text edit

In French, does the word "texte" include creative works that are not written, such as music and film? The label of full work available at URL (P953) should include all creative works, not just written ones. If "texte" accomplishes that, then fine. Otherwise I would appreciate your suggestion as a French speaker. I used "œuvre" since that is the label on work (Q386724). Thanks! Swpb (talk) 14:37, 22 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Swpb: for sure, you are right, sorry. So, please, could you write "œuvre intégrale disponible sur" (with an "e" letter at the end of "intégrale" because œuvre is feminine gender in French. Thank you so much. Givet (talk) 14:46, 22 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Will do, thanks for your help! Swpb (talk) 14:47, 22 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Swpb: one more time, so sorry, I use this field all the time and be very surprised to see a modification. Have a lovely day. Friendly Givet (talk) 14:50, 22 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Q59509284 edit

Bonsoir @Givet,

Pourrais-tu regarder Q59509284, que j'ai mis en lien dans fr:Aporodes floralis, car il attend la valeur périodique mais c'était un manuscrit qui n'a pas été publié (il me semble).

Sinon, faut-il mettre un éditeur postérieur comme Hansebooks GmbH (worldcat) ? LD (talk) 20:00, 28 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Bonjour @LD, en fait le problème vient que ce n'est pas un article scientifique mais un livre. Si je m'en réfère à Worldcat il serait composé de 5 volumes mais si tu regardes sur BHL tu auras plus l'impression qu'il y a en fait un volume "Texte" et cinq volumes "Illustrations". De fait on pourrait sans doute faire de la page Q59509284 un "livre scientifique" et ajouté autant de pages "article scientifique" liée chacune d'entre elle au livre avec indication du volume (mais là où ça devient compliqué c'est que c'est écrit en gothique, mais en s'y attelant ça devrait le faire). Et là tu n'auras plus de problème. L'autre solution serait de ne pas lié la Publication originale à l'élément Wikidata (mais je suis plutôt partisan de le faire ne serait-ce que pour faciliter le travail des autres wikis...). Par ailleurs il faudrait en changer le titre, en ne gardant que "Sammlung europäischer Schmetterlinge". On en reparle si tu veux. On va bien finir par trouver une solution :-) Bonne journée.

Merci Givet. Je pensais bêtement qu'il fallait toujours avoir "article scientifique" pour remplir Bibliographie.
Mes connaissances de Wikidata restent relatives, je m'en remets à ta sagesse !

Pour info sur cette révision : Noctuelia est le nom valide (nhm, The Global Lepidoptera Names Index) mais Aporodes est un nouveau synonyme (idem pour GBIF, COL, etc.) ; cela fait partie des grandes reclassifications des Lépidoptères en cours. J'espère que mes dernières retouches clarifient un peu cela.
Bonne journée également, LD (talk) 11:45, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Cela me fait penser, doit-on fusionner Q13899367 & Q4780549 ? LD (talk) 11:48, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
@LD Bien vu pour le genre Noctuelia, j'avais bêtement pensé qu'il s'agit d'une erreur de GBIF. La taxobox me semble désormais bien longue mais là je ne suis pas spécialiste du tout. Pour Wikidata, j'y ai repensé dans la journée et je me dis qu'il faudrait sans doute créer une entrée pour chaque volume en les considérant tous comme des livres... mais je n'arrive pas à trouver une description de chacun d'entre eux. Dans l'immédiat, si ça ne t'ennuie pas, et comme le problème sur ta page Noctuelia floralis est réglé, je vais mettre de côté (mais je garde ça dans un coin de ma tête). En parlant de ta page wikipédia, il faudrait que tu synchronises la taxobox avec le titre sinon celui-ci apparait en écriture droite et non italique. Enfin pour ta question relative au pages wikidata Q13899367 & Q4780549, c'est sûr qu'il faut les fusionner puisque ni l'une, ni l'autre n'est relative au protonyme. Et, dans ce cas, c'est Q4780549 qui doit être conservée (entrée la plus ancienne - règle qui nous est rappelée en cas de fusion). Givet (talk) 16:32, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
