Logo of Wikidata

Welcome to Wikidata, Michael Montag!

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! --Epìdosis 11:04, 31 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

P7902 edit

User:Epìdosis can you update the counter of records at the P7902 page? They now have 825319. BTW, I am currently working on the constraint violations. Michael Montag (talk) 11:11, 31 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Michael Montag: Sure,   Done. --Epìdosis 12:21, 31 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

User:Epìdosis, thank you. Do you know how to delete all outdated DtBio IDs in that order: 1) not in DtBio (anymore) 2) not a GND ID (anymore, e.g. name identifiers have been removed from GND)? Doing 1) would already help to remove some constraint violations. Michael Montag (talk) 13:38, 31 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Michael Montag: If you have a list of 1) and/or 2), the removal can be easily performed through QuickStatements. You can ask me if you have any doubt, of course. --Epìdosis 17:10, 31 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Epìdosis: re 1) everything that is in DtBio http://data.deutsche-biographie.de/beta/solr-open/?q=defgnd:*&fl=defgnd&rows=1000000&wt=csv - everything that is not there should be removed. So for QuickStatements one would need to make a diff, which I currently cannot do. Can you do it, or a person you know? re 2) maybe wait for the next GND dump which should appear in June.

I probably know someone able to do it, but these are unfortunately busy weeks. I hope that we can work on this in the second half of June. Let's keep in touch. If you have any other questions, I obviously remain available. --Epìdosis 18:23, 31 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
