Logo of Wikidata

Welcome to Wikidata, Grahamec!

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 items edit

Hallo Grahamec,

When you are merging items, please use the Merge.js gadget. It helps you nominating, gives the option to always keep the lower number (which is older, so preferable) and makes it a lot easier for the admins to process the requests.

With regards, -      - (Cycn/talk) 14:52, 10 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

New articles about localities in NSW edit

Good to see you wanting to link your new Wikipedia articles to Wikidata. However, before creating new items for NSW localities, please do a search here. I've just merged three duplicates – Gundary, Pomeroy and Quialigo.--Oronsay (talk) 20:04, 11 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

I didn't go anywhere near Wikidata and never do. Must be an automatic system.--Grahamec (talk) 00:25, 12 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
