Welcome to Wikidata, Helmoony!

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 familarise yourself with:

• Wikidata:About – About the project.
• Wikidata:Introduction – Another introduction to the project.
• Help:Contents – The main help portal for editing and using the site.
• Wikidata:Project chat – Discussions about the project.
• Wikidata:Tools – A collection of user-developed JS tools to allow for easier completion of some tasks.

If you have any questions, please ask me on my talk page. 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.

Merging items

Hallo Helmoony,

For merging items, you may want to use the merge.js gadget from help page about merging. It has an option "Request deletion for extra items on RfD" to automatically place a request to delete the emptied page. This way of nominating makes it a lot easier for the admins to process the requests.

Wikidata contributions

Hi Helmoony,

I just read your comment here. https://tools.wmflabs.org/pltools/harvesttemplates/ might help convert infoboxes from arwiki to Wikidata. It might need some fixes to function for Arabic though. --- Jura 08:16, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

I just re-read it. It seems you are looking for the opposite. Never mind. --- Jura 11:49, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

IRC

I was on a short trip the last few days and following up on all my messages. I missed you on IRC, but am still working on the Jemenite villages: Will put the code here in the next few days: Wikidata:Pywikibot - Python 3 Tutorial. Then we can talk about details of specific bot runs. --Tobias1984 (talk) 10:19, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Wikidata and World University and School

Hi Helmoony,

Wayne Calhoon (Checkingfax) suggested I reach out to you. I have some questions about querying and templates in Wikidata re World University and School. World University and School (WUaS) donated WUaS to Wikidata in October 2015 per Lydia Pintscher (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User_talk:Lydia_Pintscher_(WMDE)), and CC WUaS seeks to add CC MIT OpenCourseWare (in its 7 languages) and CC Yale OpenYaleCourses to Wikidata and develop a course catalog and "You at World Univ and Sch" further out of this in MediaWiki. WUaS seeks to create "Harvards of the Web" in all countries' official languages, accrediting on MIT OCW and Yale OYC to begin. Thanks --- Scott_WUaS 19:18, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Wikidata and World University and School

Hi Scott,.. and @Checkingfax: Sorry if it took me so much to reply to you. I was busy with my job. If I have understood what you are looking for, you want to publish your CC courses in a Wikimedia project? Wikidata is not the best place to do that. It's better to publish the content in an other Wikimedia project called wikiversity. You need to ask help from that community to be able to wikify your courses. You can also export your data from Wikia to Wikiversity. You may also ask to add some templates related to Wikiversity but it's not a big issue. The only relationship between what you are looking for and Wikidata can be linking (but not always) a course to a wikidata item.For example the item for HyperText Markup Language links to this page in English Wikiversity.I don't know if I replied correctly to your question, but if you have other questions just ask me, I'm gonna be able to reply more quickly.--Helmoony (talk) 03:39, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Helmoony @Helmoony:,.. and @Checkingfax:,

Likewise, Helmoony, Sorry if it took me so much to reply to you as well - I'm not yet in the Wikidata/WMF ecosystem at all to speak of. And thanks so much for your note. I just tried to find your email address online unsuccessfully too, so I'll use Wikimedia's internal email and share mine there (but what is your email if you'd care to share it - sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org is mine). And thanks for your good news re developing World University and School re Wikimedia and in Wikiversity! In many ways, World University and School would like to use this SUBJECT TEMPLATE - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE (which informs nearly all 720 WUaS wiki pages in Wikia and only in English so far) - and develop it newly in all 8k languages around MIT OCW in 7 languages and in Wikipedia's 358 languages (see, for example - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/09/liliaceae-wikidata-list-generation.html and http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/10/charles-river-just-teach-out-of-mit.html and https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com), so your comments are great news, and doing this in Wikiversity will require a fair amount of help. (Checkingfax) and I celebrated Wikidata's 4th birthday party with a cake (from WUaS) together in downtown SF. Is Wikiversity in all 358 Wikipedia languages? How many languages in Wikiversity in? Thank you, Helmoony, so much! Scott_WUaS (talk) 12:45, 13 December 2016 (PST)

Identification des articles sur la Tunisie

Bonjour Helmi,

J'espère que tu vas bien . Je vois que tu es assez actif sur Wikidata et je voulais voir si tu pouvais m'aider avec un projet en cours. Mon but est de recenser tous les articles existants sur la Tunisie et qui ne sont pas disponibles en français, et ce grâce aux éléments de Wikidata, en leur attribuant au minimum un libellé et une brève description en français. C'est un bot qui me construit la liste automatiquement, dès que "Tunisie" est ajouté sous la déclaration "pays". Pour l'instant, la liste se trouve sur l'une de mes sous-pages mais l'objectif est de la mettre à disposition de tous sur la page du projet Tunisie en français.

Comme tu le vois, j'ai bien progressé mais il me reste pas mal d'éléments issus d'articles en arabe et, malgré mes efforts, je n'ai pas réussi à identifier ces sujets (vu ma maîtrise limitée de cette langue). Il me semble toutefois qu'il s'agit pour l'essentiel d'articles portant sur des villes ou des villages.

Penses-tu pouvoir m'appuyer dans cette démarche ? Merci d'avance pour ton retour, Moumou82 (talk) 19:13, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
