Mastodeas

Welcome to Wikidata, Mastodeas!

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!

Re: Q115791696

I noticed you created Will Oremus (Q115791696). Thanks for that. A few notes:

• For the determination method of the gender you used pronoun (Q36224) but you should use inferred from pronoun used (Q73168402) (there was a warning indicating it was wrong).
• You added a statement for social media followers (P8687) for a mastodon account but you didn't add a top level statement for Mastodon address (P4033). There should be both.
• This is less important but generally I like to add an identifier of some kind. It helps de-duplicate items in the future. For journalists a good identifier is muckrack (I added it for you) but any number of other properties work to. I added a few as an example (but this isn't mandatory).

Anyways I looked over your recent edits and they're generally very good but I thought I'd offer some constructive criticism. Thanks again. BrokenSegue (talk) 05:44, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Call for participation in a task-based online experiment

Dear Mastodeas

I hope you are doing well,

I am Kholoud, a researcher at King's College London, and I am working on a project as part of my PhD research, in which I have developed a personalised recommender model that suggests Wikidata items for the editors based on their past edits. I am inviting you to a task-based study that will ask you to provide your judgments about the relevance of the items suggested by our model based on your previous edits. Participation is completely voluntary, and your cooperation will enable us to evaluate the accuracy of the recommender system in suggesting relevant items to you. We will analyse the results anonymised, and they will be published to a research venue.

The study should take no more than 15 minutes.

If you agree to participate in this study, please either contact me at kholoud.alghamdi@kcl.ac.uk or use this form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSees9WzFXR0Vl3mHLkZCaByeFHRrBy51kBca53euq9nt3XWog/viewform?usp=sf_link

Then, I will contact you with the link to start the study.

For more information about the study, please read this post: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Kholoudsaa In case you have further questions or require more information, don't hesitate to contact me through my mentioned email.

Thank you for considering taking part in this research.
