Welcome to Wikidata, Peter coxhead!
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.

round robins
editHi. When you do a round robin swap at enWP, it would be great if you could do the fixing here after you have completed. The interwikis were hosed after the moves with Linnaea stuff. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 22:37, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
- @billinghurst: ok, I'll try to remember to look at this. Interwikis are always messed up anyway when different language wikis use different taxon names and appropriately connect their article to the same taxon name, because there's no mechanism to pick up interwikis from synonyms.

- Yep, it is all less than perfect, though at least if I say something we have a smidgeon more hope. FWIW some of the merge detectors pick up interwiki mismatches, especially the enwiki<->commons, commons<->species, and enwiki<->species triumverate. To note that there is a good local move gadget to push interwikis around more easily. — billinghurst sDrewth 11:48, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
- Moving interwikis around is absolutely not the right answer. When the taxonomy of a group is not settled, it's perfectly reasonable to have different wiki articles at different titles and these should be linked to the Wikidata item of the same title – anything else is arbitrary and puzzling to readers who follow a Wikidata link. The right answer for taxa is to be able to pick up interwikis from Wikidata items that are flagged as synonyms. And, of course, Wikidata needs to be able to model the reality that interwiki links are not all 1:1. At present it's not fit for purpose. Peter coxhead (talk) 20:50, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

Call for participation in a task-based online experiment
editDear Peter coxhead,
I hope you are doing good,
I am Kholoud, a researcher at King's College London, and I work on a project as part of my PhD research, in which I have developed a personalised recommender system that suggests Wikidata items for the editors based on their past edits. I am collaborating on this project with Elena Simperl and Miaojing Shi.
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 system 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 will start in late January 2022 or early February 2022, and it should take no more than 30 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 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.
Regards
