Logo of Wikidata

Welcome to Wikidata, Graeme Bartlett!

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!

Merging salt and base items edit

Please do not merge different compounds with different CAS numbers, such as Q27256913 and Q27273683 - they are chemically different. English wiki article CD-2 should be linked to salt (Q27256913), free base was not used as commertial color developer. Def2010 (talk) 12:33, 22 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

I don't know about a merge, as I only did a link. Something must ahve automatically done a merge, as I don't even know how to do one yet, apart from delete and readd links manually. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:36, 22 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
Ok, thanks, perhaps merge was initiated by some mechanism in enwiki templates. I've moved the enwiki link to CD-2 to salt dataitem, as I proposed initially, so it should be ok for now. Def2010 (talk) 15:29, 22 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. What I think I did, was to link the item from the Russian page on CD-2 by selecting add links. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:11, 22 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Franklin School (Q100000001) depicted on your photo from 2009 edit

Hi Graeme Bartlett,

It seems your image File:Harrison_Franklin_aerial.jpg shows the site of the school before its opening: [1].

Is that correct? --- Jura 09:59, 7 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I took that photo on 12 November 2009, so 3 years before that place opened! I would say that the picture is not much use for the Wikidata item, although the item has a great number. Perhaps I could take a picture from the ground level. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:10, 7 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Well, it's surprisingly well centered on the school. Photos for image (P18), panoramic view (P4291), or place name sign (P1766) could be nice, even nighttime view (P3451) or winter view (P5252). I think they would be much noticed.
As we missed Q100000000, the item is our milestone for 100,000,000.
I also added the aerial to Franklin (Q5491137), as we don't have that much about it either. --- Jura 10:17, 7 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
I have replaced the pic on Q100000001, as the territory government releases aerial imagery under CC-BY-4.0 license. Hopefully that is more useful. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:48, 7 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
