Welcome to Wikidata, PeltonMan!
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.

Avskrevet rang
editDeprecated rank[rediger]
Warning: All statements, including deprecated ones, must be verifiable in the sense that a source makes the claim whether or not the claim is true. Deprecation is not an option for information that can not be publicly sourced, e.g. non-public personal information about subject of an item. Wikidata:Living people applies to all statements, including deprecated ones. The deprecated rank is used for statements that are known to include errors (i.e. data produced by flawed measurement processes, inaccurate statements) or that represent outdated knowledge (i.e. information that was never correct, but was at some point thought to be). It is often useful to indicate the reason for a deprecation with a grunn for avskriving (P2241) qualifier. This does not apply to correct historical information, such as previous values of a statement, as long as they represent accurate information for the indicated time period. Such statements should instead be annotated with the appropriate startdato (P580)/sluttdato (P582) qualifiers. Marking erroneous statements as deprecated instead of simply deleting such statements has three benefits: it allows other users to know not to re-add the value to the item it provides a mechanism for representing the evolution of theories and ideas and thereby creates a richer context for understanding human knowledge it upholds and establishes the integrity of Wikidata as a secondary knowledge base (that collects and links to references), rather than a primary database of facts. Wikidata simply provides information according to specific sources; those sources may or may not reflect contemporary thought or scientific consensus For templates and queries, deprecated statements will never be used unless that is specifically requested.
