Welcome to Wikidata, RealityBites!

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.

Q116743614 edit

Hello. Could I ask you to expand the item with some more information and reference links, in order to make it meet the Wikidata:Notability criteria? I'm telling you this because you're the item creator. Thanks, Wolverène (talk) 11:22, 17 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Descriptions edit

  Hello, I'm Madamebiblio. 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!  Madamebiblio (talk) 15:44, 11 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello! Is there a pattern of item descriptions in languages other than German where I am making this error? I do add German descriptions for films/tv items quite often, but German specifically does have special capitalization rules, including the rule that all nouns are capitalized. Tks!

Hello @RealityBites please see your editions today. This guideline only applies to German, you can check here the convention to descriptions in the other languages. Best regards. Madamebiblio (talk) 19:36, 11 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Noted w/ thanks! I'll be sure to be more careful moving forward. RealityBites (talk) 22:27, 11 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Incorrect use of subclass of (P279) edit

Hello –

This statement on "neighborhood" was incorrect. Errors with basic membership properties create false inferences. Before using this property, check the item descriptions, and make sure your statement is true in all cases. (In this case, "neighborhood" is an instance of (P31) designation, but neighborhoods do not constitute a subclass of (P279) designations.) Often, another property can accurately express the relationship you had in mind; in this case, instance of (P31) works better. You can search through available properties here. Thanks!
