Welcome to Wikidata, Manta Ray DeeJay!
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.

@Manta_Ray_DeeJay: Hi, after posting a wikiproject propousal (Wikidata:WikiProject_Objects) I found Wikidata:WikiProject_Electronic_Components, As I see two projects are equivalent as regards to electronics, so I would like to join forces, set a date to chat (IRC,mail, hangout?) , greetings Qupro (talk) 21:07, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Qupro: Hi, I'm glad to see my first comment on this talk page !!! I read your project with lot of interests. I think we have common ideas about using the wikidata database. You seems having a more global sight than me, maybe some people could say that's crazy. I can tell you that's a very great challenge. In my side, I'd rather like to stay in a first time to work only about electronics components. I think that already needs enough work !!! But of course we can explore lot of others things. As you, I have lot of ideas about this incredible project. We could in a second time create electronics board BOM as you have tried to do with an example. I think our job is having all necessary knowledges to make a good database structure. That's a very important point, because when we will need in a future to modify tha database structure (renaming, regrouping, deleting, etc.) with lot of datas, it will be difficult to manage and doing updates. I think also, it will have to ask us lot of work about making a clear help about database structure we wish define. We can of course set a date to chat, what do you suggest ?
