Welcome to Wikidata, J. Patrick Fischer!

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.

Hello.

Can you create the article en:Telephone numbers in Azerbaijan in German Wikipedia?

Yours sincerely, Artoxx (talk) 17:27, 7 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Artoxx: Can not promise. I am very busy with Timor-Leste. If I have a moment, I will try to remember, but I can not promise. Greetings, --J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 10:35, 8 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

I just saw your merge of Category:Ambassadors of the United Kingdom to East Timor (Q56761121) into Category:Ambassadors of the United Kingdom to East Timor (Q65608554). I think the latter is a category item (instance of (P31)=Wikimedia category (Q4167836), which shouldn't be mixed with the topic, so it would be better to unmerge and link with topic's main category (P910)/category's main topic (P301), does that make sense? Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 07:48, 30 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello Mike! No, both categories are the same, containing articles about the British ambassadors in East Timor. Greetings, --J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 08:23, 30 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
I don't object to having the dewp and commons category links in the same item, but a category can't be instance of (P31)=ambassador of the United Kingdom (Q18115939) as well as Wikimedia category (Q4167836), either we remove the info about the position or we split that back out into a separate item. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 08:29, 30 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
The information Wikimedia category (Q4167836) is wrong. ;) --J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 08:34, 30 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
To be more exactly: This is the category, which contains all the British ambassadors in East Timor. --J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 08:37, 30 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Even the upper categories are the same. --J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 08:38, 30 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
No, it's definitely a category item, the German Wikipedia sitelink is a category. Compare with ambassador of the United Kingdom to Spain (Q56761197) and Category:Ambassadors of the United Kingdom to Spain (Q10917915), they are separate items about the position and the categories. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 08:39, 30 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

It is like Category:Ambassadors of Brazil to East Timor (Q49812499). --J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 10:32, 30 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

OK, I cleaned up Category:Ambassadors of the United Kingdom to East Timor (Q65608554) so it is properly a category item, it means we no longer have an item for the position but I guess someone can recreate that in the future if they want. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 11:05, 30 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thank you. I guess, this was causing the confusion. --J. Patrick Fischer (talk) 11:23, 30 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
