Welcome to Wikidata, JnpoJuwan!

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!

Removal of labels?

Why did you remove all the labels from Wikidata? [1]. This may have unintended effect, e.g., when some of may SPARQL queries relay on the English label. Is the removal part of some kind of consorted effort? — Finn Årup Nielsen (fnielsen) (talk) 20:31, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

@Fnielsen hi, sorry! I have realised what the errors may be. please check Wikidata:Project chat § Latest label removals gone wrong? for a discussion similar to this. for the reason, after the introduction of the mul code to Wikidata, I've tried to remove redundancy in items using that feature (and it helps a lot, the Wikidata item dropped about 10 kB from that alone), as seen on Douglas Adams (Q42), but did not know about these side effects, assuming that they would be fixed.

Don't remove labels

Hello, I'm Multichill. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Q918 because it didn't appear constructive. Feel free to use the sandbox for test edits. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!  Multichill (talk) 21:26, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

ungrammatical English

I've seen several edits you made to English labels, and they all contain errors. I recommend against changing English descriptions since you do not have enough familiarity to make changes that are correct for English. --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:11, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

@EncycloPetey excuse me, could you explain? checking the revert notifications, the two errors you are referring to are more like oversights: mixing up "with" and "to" and the typo "3th". I speak English well and I don't take kindly to this recomendation that I should completely stop editing descriptions due to typos. Juwan (talk) 01:29, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

The high error rate suggests that you are not fluent enough in English, which is why I made the recommendation. --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:55, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

@EncycloPetey would you mind sharing examples then as evidence for this extraordinary recommendation? I have not received any complaints like this before in the time I have edited on Wikimedia projects.

regarding the use of "3rd-century", whether it is bad form is another question entirely, as I have seen other descriptions before with that format. however, it is not certainly incorrect. the description is not "3rd-century" but "3rd-century BCE", which is before year 1. Juwan (talk) 02:08, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

in my second edit, I did forget to add "BCE", that's an embarrassing slip-up. but doesn't mean that I don't speak English or are completely incompetent in writing descriptions. Juwan (talk) 02:14, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

When I've looked at a set of edits, and every single one contains a mistake, that's not a good sign. --EncycloPetey (talk) 02:43, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

thank you but no thank you for your complaint. nevertheless, I will continue to edit in English as I have done for four years now. hope you never tell people that little mistakes means they should stop editing completely. Juwan (talk) 12:55, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

3rd-century means 3rd-century AD, not 3rd-century BC. Your error rate is still high. Also, it is poor form to start a descriptor with a lengthy phrase identifying time period; the information is already encoded in the parenthetical component at the end of the description. When dates are added to human data items, they are usually placed at the end. --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:59, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

@EncycloPetey on the topic of your reverts, may I add that you don't need to restone the Brazilian Portuguese (pt-br) descriptions, as they will simply fallback to Portuguese (pt). for the specific ones I saw, they are just saying the same thing differently ("biblical prophet" vs. "biblical character"), no words here are different dialectically (as I would know as a native), so I found it better to merge for easier maintainance and editing.
