Welcome to Wikidata, HKBUlibrary!

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.

Your use of P244

edit

Hello you are using P244 Library of Congress authority ID incorrectly on many items. This field is designed to link concepts between vocabularies. You appear to be using it as "subject heading". For example https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q294126 is the concept of surveyor on wikidata and is linked to the concept of surveyors in LCSH (sh85130869) you would not put "sh85130869" in the P244 field on items (posters or books for example) about surveying. I'm removing the ones I see but please stop adding this field to your items, it is a lot of work to remove them all. Thisismattmiller (talk)

Wrong use of P31

edit

For information, I just removed instance of (P31) = painter (Q1028181) that you wrongly used on ~120 items like Jiang Shupu (Q106036583). This value should (and was already there) with the property occupation (P106).
