Welcome to Wikidata, Qbot!

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!

January 2014 edit

  Hello, I'm Delusion23. Welcome to Wikidata! I noticed that you recently removed a link from Q1310518, but didn't add it anywhere else. If you feel that the link would be better suited to another item, please add it there. (If you don't know how to do that, feel free to contact me at my talk page and I can do it for you.) If you're curious about editing Wikidata, and would like to test things out, please try the Wikidata Sandbox. Thanks, and happy editing! Delsion23 (talk) 12:53, 18 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

For Q873584, there is no equivalent to the Vietnamese counterpart so I removed all the iw links. Qbot (talk) 17:17, 18 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from removing valid links from items, as you did to Q873584. Your edits do not appear to be constructive, and have been reverted. If you would like to test out editing, please use the Wikidata Sandbox. Thank you. Delsion23 (talk) 17:07, 18 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

As per Q873584, these iws are wrong since some are about a plant species and the others are about an animal (a beetle species). So please check well before reverting. Thank you. Qbot (talk) 17:17, 18 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
In response to Q1310518, you should not simply remove all the links then, or the connections will be lost. If the Vietnamese link is incorrect, move it to a new item with a new description. With regards to Q873584, only the Spanish and Portuguese articles were about plants, and even then they should not simply be removed. I have created a new item at Q15631632 and moved them there.

I have moved vi:Eira (genus) to a new item Q15631638. This way we preserve the links for Eira (Finnish place) for all the other Wikipedias that are not Vietnamese. Removing loads of interwikis destroys the connection for everyone else. It is easier to remove the few wrong links and move them to a new item. Delsion23 (talk) 17:31, 18 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
