Welcome to Wikidata, Nzechimere!

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.

Film people up for deletion edit

Hi there, I wanted to let you know a number of Wikidata items for African actors are up for deletion, though a number may be notable enough to keep. You can find them starting here: Wikidata:Requests_for_deletions#Q112268483. Thanks. - Fuzheado (talk) 07:34, 3 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Okay thanks for the information. 2C0F:F5C0:43E:7619:6946:244A:33ED:2C18 04:32, 6 September 2023 (UTC)Reply


Thank you for contributing to Wikidata. I see that you recently created an item Q112268296 that does not clearly indicate its notability. The Wikidata project only accepts items that meet its notability criteria, and your item is therefore likely to be deleted soon. In brief, items must have an associated Wikipedia article, must be needed for statements on another notable item, or must have both identifiers and serious sources. For the last case, a good indication of notability would be multiple articles about the subject in independent publications like newspapers or magazines. You can add such sources as references to specific claims using reference URL (P854), or as top-level claims using described at URL (P973).

Also, this may not apply in this specific case, but you should know that we discourage editors from contributing on topics with which they have a strong personal connection, as this may present a conflict of interest. If you are being paid to edit here, then you are obliged to disclose this. For a longer version, you might find it useful to read the essay "How to create an item on Wikidata so that it won't get deleted".  Bovlb (talk) 18:07, 4 September 2023 (UTC) --Bovlb (talk) 18:07, 4 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Descriptions begin with a lowercase letter edit

  Hello, I'm Kirilloparma. 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!  Kirilloparma (talk) 04:52, 25 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Okay thank you for the correction, I will endeavor to apply it in my next edit. Nzechimere (talk) 20:07, 27 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
