Q6456020 edit

Hi! Q6456020 wasn’t a disambiguation page item, at least not the last time the Wayback Machine captured it. Please undelete it. Thanks in advance, Tacsipacsi (talk) 21:06, 28 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Tacsipacsi: I've restored it, but please note that @Myotus: for some reason changed it to be a disambiguation page and moved all the sitelinks from the item. Mahir256 (talk) 21:09, 28 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thanks! I’ve reverted their edits, so hopefully admins won’t think anymore that this item is unnecessary. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 20:13, 29 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Q110541178 edit

Hello, I don't understand why this item should be a subclass of Q147276. The opposite isn't so. كريم رائد (talk) 17:24, 4 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

@كريم رائد: This would be a question for @JTs:, who added the statement, if they were still around. Mahir256 (talk) 17:26, 4 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Possible duplicate on BNWP edit

Hi! I have found through Wikidata:Database reports/Same humans/Q36180 Santadas Kathiababa (Q54544213) and Santadas Kathiababa (Q104457973). I do not read bengali, but for what Google Translate is worth they don't seem to share anything beyond dates and name. Would that be correct? --Jahl de Vautban (talk) 13:51, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi! In order to merge Santadas Kathiababa (Q104457973) and Santadas Kathiababa (Q54544213) we need to merge the duplicate articles in bn.wikipedia and hi.wikipedia; would you be able to do it, or do you know somehow who would be able to? Thanks very much in any case! --Epìdosis 11:22, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Jahl de Vautban, Epìdosis: Apologies for the delay; I do not feel comfortable dealing with the Hindi text, so I've asked others about it, while I can take a look at the Bengali article later in the week. Mahir256 (talk) 16:39, 30 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for removing L1227181 edit

Hi, I am a wikidata beginner. I created L1227181 by mistake.
Thanks for deleting it and the fast deletion job. I'll be more careful in the future. Twkz0731 (talk) 15:52, 7 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the removal of unnecessary P143 edit

Hi! Seeing edits like this I would like to thank you for this very useful cleaning, which surely improves Wikidata; I also want to thank you for the same cleaning you are doing through Twofivesixbot (e.g. this), which I hope will eventually remove all unnecessary P143 from P21 and all other sorts of properties. Good night from Italy, --Epìdosis 23:16, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

General Language/lexeme help edit

Hello, @ZI Jony recommended I contact you concerning Lexemes and translations involving South Asian languages(I'm unfamiliar with how they relate to each other, but I'm perhaps incorrectly throwing Bengali, Hindi, and Punjabi into the same general pile here.

While I also consider it premature to ask you for translations in specific cases, I would like to draw your attention to the of (P642) deprecation project (wherI'd like general commentary on property labels in multiple languages, as well as to a planned project of my own to create a scheme to design relational items suitable as P5689 (P5689) for adpositions, conjunctions and similar words. At this early stage I'm primarily looking for a convenient presentation mechanism for multiple-language comparison tables, to make them less tedious than regular wikitables to edit. See my current table on the page I link to (I'm aware of the English phrasemistakenly placed inthe Punjabi column, that mistake is an effect of the inconvenient table editor I'm using).Do you have any suggestions or wishes for how I should approach this. I'm thinking of a lookup table in Commons and perhaps some supporting Lua code (which I'm already working on at Swedish Wikipedia). Your actual needs and desires in Wikidata constitute my preferred challenge! --SM5POR (talk) 13:06, 30 January 2024 (UTC) SM5POR (talk) 13:06, 30 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Mahir256,@ZI Jony:I have received the advice Iwas looking for from @infrastruktur over at [[1]] thanks for letting me use your talk page. --SM5POR (talk) 17:57, 2 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

SPAM account edit

Hello.

I detected an account making SPAM, through edits that add links.

I found this account on pt-wiki, and I don't speak Portuguese, and I also don't know how to notify here on Wikidata.

The account is this one.

I saw that you are an administrator, I hope I saw it right, if I can do something, I will present it to you here. Elder N (talk) 04:53, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Creating a Wikidata property edit

Hello, I request you to create a Wikidata property for the Quran encyclopedia site (https://referenceworks.brillonline.com/browse/encyclopaedia-of-the-quran/) similar to the Wikidata property (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P11761) of the Islamica encyclopedia (https://referenceworks.brillonline.com/browse/encyclopaedia-islamica).

Help edit

Hi, I would like to know the reason for deleting my edit in Wikidata on March 11, 2024. I created Lexeme in Wikidata on account of the editathon organised by the oral Indic group. May I know the reason? I would also like to improve my edits. Is there any way to improve my edits. Below is the URL address, which got deleted. (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Lexeme:L1310595)

  • Kavitha Ganesh
  • @Kavitha G. Kana: Hello! I have restored the lexeme, but the various problems I saw with it led me to wonder if you wanted to create an item for the concept of a "ಕಂಬಳ ಪಾಡ್ದನ", rather than a lexeme for the Tulu phrase "ಕಂಬಳ ಪಾಡ್ದನ":
    1. Despite it being a Tulu lexeme, the lemma has the language code "kn", rather than "tcy" which I would expect for Tulu.
    2. The language of the lexeme is not Tulu (Q34251), but rather Tulu Wikipedia (Q26235862), which made me wonder if you were trying to add a link to a page on the Tulu Wikipedia instead.
    3. The sense gloss, when fed into Google Translate, tells me that "ಕಂಬಳ ಪಾಡ್ದನ" is a folk song about carpets, and it was not clear whether a specific folk song was being referred to by that phrase or whether the phrase refers to a 'type' of folk song.
    4. The single form provided on that lexeme is simply the name of the Kannada language in Kannada, and the grammatical feature provided on it is an item for a buffalo race (what does that have to do with grammar or songs about carpets?), which does not seem right for a phrase in the Tulu language.
    You may wish to read Wikidata:Lexicographical data/Documentation to learn about the parts of a lexeme, but feel free to ask me more questions too. Mahir256 (talk) 16:26, 12 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
