Welcome to Wikidata, MartinGala!
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! --VIGNERON (talk) 12:35, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
DOIs are represented in UPPERCASE edit
Hi @MartinGala:, I noticed that you edited A new species of Separatoppia Mahunka, 1983 (Acari, Oribatida, Oppiidae) from India (Q104458497) by making the DOI lowercase. I reverted this back to the original UPPERCASE. This makes DOIs look rather ugly, but the convention on Wikidata is for DOIs to be UPPERCASE. If everyone follows this convention it makes it easier to query Wikidata for whether an item exists for a given DOI. Hope this makes sense. --Rdmpage (talk) 07:58, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
- Hello @Rdmpage: Thank you very much for correcting it. I deleted all the DOI item by mistake and then I copied and pasted the one that was posted with the journal; I didn't realize it was in a different format. Thanks for warning me about the uppercase format, I'll keep that in mind going forward. Happy New Year. --MartinGala (talk) 20:35, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
- @MartinGala: You're welcome, I'm just delighted that items I've added are being edited and improved upon. Happy New Year to you too. --Rdmpage (talk) 12:28, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
Empty items edit
Hi Martin,
do you know anything about Lin Mu (Q110967397) and Rui Lin (Q110967398) like the sex, birthdate, etc.? Oure Ladye (talk) 19:59, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
- Hello @Oure_Ladye:
- I haven't been on wikidata much lately so sorry for the delay. I have completed Lin Mu's data with her ResearchGate profile. Thanks for the warning. MartinGala (talk) 13:50, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
