Logo of Wikidata

Welcome to Wikidata, Lisp.hippie.bot!

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!

Username edit

Your username is inappropriate. The username of your main account should not contain "bot", and if you want to do automatic edits, you should create a seperate account and request bot flag at WD:RFBOT.--GZWDer (talk) 19:28, 10 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot/Lisp.hippie.bot edit

Please specify what the bot will do, and transclude the request to Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot. Otherwise the request will be declined. In addition, please use your main account for non-bot edits.--GZWDer (talk) 10:53, 16 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

116,600,000 square meters edit

Your bot has made this edit [1]. But, I think we should be using either square miles or km2 for such a claim, not m2. Danrok (talk) 22:27, 3 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Cornwall etc edit

Cornwall isn't located in Truro, its the other way round. Sheffield already states its in the Sheffield district so adding England is duplicating. Lucywood (talk) 18:53, 2 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Yes, it appears that some erroneous data made it into some Turkish 'place' templates. I will run a follow-up session to remove cases where the nesting is inappropriate. Thanks for pointing this out. Lisp.hippie (talk) 19:08, 2 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, I raised this at Wikidata:Administrators' noticeboard. Lucywood (talk) 19:10, 2 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Please stop/revert edit

@Lisp.hippie: can you please stop adding redundant federal state information to district/municipality items from Germany? see example. Holger1959 (talk) 23:52, 2 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
now i noticed the amount of such edits: can you pease revert all these bot edits yourself? Holger1959 (talk) 00:01, 3 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

My apologies, I'm aware of the problem, and am taking steps to fix it. Lisp.hippie (talk) 01:34, 3 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Al-Ruways edit

Hello, you made a confusion between two places, more or less called both Al-Ruways : one is in Qatar (Q3298589), the other was in Palestine (Q4703147). I have corrected the administrative district on Wikidata for the Palestine village. If you want to add the correct info on the Qatari town, I leave it to you.
