Welcome to Wikidata, H005!

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.

re: Your question on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q71227073

This is a source of water in Stans for their fountain https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q71224825

Thanks. Actually I think this is no sufficient evidence that such a water source / stream exists. This website really seems to be the only place in the WWW that knows of this thing, as Google returns no reasonable results: https://www.google.com/search?q=Frongadem -- H005 (talk) 12:13, 21 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

full-frame digital SLR edit

Hi, I undid my edit, because I think it is wrong. Maybe I did not understand the property correct, but what I want to state is that instances of the class of full-frame digital SLR (Q1345091) (the camera) have (usually one) instance(s) of the class of full-frame digital (Q105201235) (the sensor) as a part.

What I initially got wrong, is that I did not think of the full frame sensors as a class, but rather as an instance, where has part(s) (P527) would have been correct. But for classes it should be has part(s) of the class (P2670), no?

Ich verstehe das so, dass has part(s) of the class (P2670) verwendet wird, wenn das Subjekt eine Instanz ist, das Objekt aber eine Klasse. Also zum Beispiel Fernsehturm Berlin (Q151356) has part(s) of the class (P2670) antenna (Q131214), aber television tower (Q11166728) has part(s) (P527) antenna (Q131214). -- H005 (talk) 19:15, 2 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Incorrect use of subclass of (P279) edit

Hello –

This edit to "mixed-use development" (Q4298922) was in error. The properties instance of (P31) and subclass of (P279) define key ontological relationships. Because subclass of (P279) is transitive, such errors lead to numerous false inferences, such as mixed-use development (Q4298922)subclass of (P279)process (Q3249551). Before you use these properties, please look at the object item to be sure it's the one you intend. You can also review the usage instructions on these two properties, and Help:Basic membership properties. (In particular, note that "A" is only a subclass of "B" if all instances of "A" are also instances of "B".) There is often another property better suited to expressing the relationship you had in mind; you can search for one here. In this case, part of (P361) works better. Thanks!
