Logo of Wikidata

Welcome to Wikidata, NadinePhD!

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.

February 2024 edit

  Hello, I'm Bovlb. You recently made an empty item. An item is empty if it does not have any claims or sitelinks. Unfortunately, such items are not useful to Wikidata, and they are normally deleted. If you were planning to return to this item later in order to complete it and it was deleted you can request it be undeleted here. Remember that all items are expected to demonstrate notability, and we strongly discourage editors from creating items where they have a conflict of interest, for example about themselves or their employers. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!  Bovlb (talk) 16:53, 5 February 2024 (UTC) --Bovlb (talk) 16:53, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Descriptions edit

  Hello, I'm Madamebiblio. In case you didn't know, descriptions begin with a lowercase letter except when uppercase would normally be required or expected. Essentially, you should pretend that the description is appearing in the middle of a normal sentence, and then follow normal language rules. Most terms would not be capitalized if they appeared in the middle of a sentence. However terms such as proper nouns (e.g. the names of specific people, specific places, and specific titles) should be capitalized. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!  Madamebiblio (talk) 18:03, 20 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello Madamebiblio, thank you for your message and the information. Unfortunately, I couldn't find your entry on your talk page, so I'm replying here on my site in this thread: I didn't realize this until now. If I want to create more articles in the future, I will stick to this and do the description according to the Wikidata specifications. NadinePhD (talk) 09:42, 21 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hello Nadine, to leave me a message click on the Add topic tab (on the top of the discussion page). First editions are tricky, with a little practice they will be optimal. Have a nice contributions here! Madamebiblio (talk) 19:28, 22 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
