Welcome edit

 

Welcome to Wikidata, Indrajitdas!

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!

Serious question about grave items edit

Hello and good day,

Can you please explain the intent behind the many items such as James Wilson's grave (Q108774369) which you have created? Most of the statements are a duplication of information found on the cemetery items. Properties such as burial plot reference (P965) and image of grave (P1442) can be used on each person's own item. Previous discussions at Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/2019/11#Items_for_single_graves? and Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/2020/05#How_to_model_graves? seem to concur that such items are generally not desirable (with some exceptions). Is there some significance to these particular gravesites, or perhaps some structural need that requires having individual items? I look forward to hearing about the work that you are doing and how I may be of help.

Thank you,
