Welcome to Wikidata, Polarlys!

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!

Hallo Polarlys,

danke für die Info. Ich wollte dir noch sagen, dass man Frettiebot (talkcontribslogs) nicht reverten kann. Er fügt seine Änderungen einfach wieder ein. Vg, -- U. M. Owen (talk) 07:17, 28 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

@U. M. Owen:: Danke für den Hinweis. Ich habe jetzt rausgekriegt, wie man mit solchen Werten umgeht. Im Übrigen denke ich, dass man Beschreibungen so einfach wie möglich halten sollte, insb. wenn es keine Verwechselungsgefahr gibt. Wenn der Mann jetzt eine Supernova auf einem Parkplatz in Arizona entdeckt, ist „Autor des Atlas für Himmelsbeobachter“ nicht falsch, aber eben auch nicht das, wofür er dann bekannt ist. --Polarlys (talk) 07:22, 28 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Call for participation in a task-based online experiment edit

Dear Polarlys,

I hope you are doing well,

I am Kholoud, a researcher at King's College London, and I am working on a project as part of my PhD research, in which I have developed a personalised recommender model 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 model 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 in a research venue.

The experiment should take no more than 15 minutes, and it will be held next week.

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/1FAIpQLSfA1wfdBfCRlcG3WhDyc-V8lzgPNx3fDFCNXkyn4CSwahXZ_A/viewform?usp=sf_link

Then, I will contact you with the link to start the study.

For more information about my project, 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.
