Welcome to Wikidata, Rigadoun!

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!

Merging items

Hallo Rigadoun,

For merging items, you may want to use the merge.js gadget from help page about merging. It has an option "Request deletion for extra items on RfD" to automatically place a request to delete the empytied page. This way of nominating makes it a lot easier for the admins to process the requests.

With regards, - - (Cycn/talk) 08:47, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Also just to add, Q9068812 and Q10360398 are not the same as one is about the star and the other is a disambiguation. They remain separate on Wikidata. Thanks for the merges and happy editing :) Del_♉sion23 (talk) 20:23, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Merging items, part 2

Hi Rigadoun, please do not merge a book with one of it's editions (see Wikidata:Books task force). The play/work/book Hamlet for example is not the same as the editon Hamlet, Prinz von Dänemark (Stuttgart: Reclam, 1995). Detailed explanation: Wikidata:Books task force. Cheers --Kolja21 (talk) 17:30, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Q197236

Hi, Rigadoun. Thanks for your contributions. I found that you merged Q11067632 (zh:张莉) to Q197236 (en:Zhang Li et al.). However, en:Zhang Li refers to many different Chinese names (such as 張礪, 张立, etc.) that are all transliterated as Zhang Li. 张莉 is just one of them. It should not be merged to Q197236. Your merge was reverted. Unfortunately Q11067632 has been deleted. You may create another item for zh:张莉. And Wikidata can create redirect page now. When you merge items, please change the merged one to a redirect page （as I did to Q9315353) so that the merged item will not be deleted. The option of creating redirect page can be found at Merge.js for merge. Thanks. --Neo-Jay (talk) 15:59, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

Inquiry

Can you speak Polish? Are Q1129362 and Q1016979 the same?--Kopiersperre (talk) 12:24, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Redirects

I see you've had to redirect three items I created, in the last few hours - Lacken Malateste (Q27717268), Ellen Mirojnick (Q27811381) and Annie Brackett (Q27777580). I rend to rely on Petscan to provide indications as to whether there is an existing item of the same name as the articles for which I'm creating new items ... I wouldn't want you to think that I'm creating items with no concern about the possibility of duplicates. I'm unsure why, in these three cases, either Petscan failed to find the existing items (or I failed to notice Petscan's indicator). Sorry about all that. --Tagishsimon (talk) 05:39, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Rhopalodon

Good morning, I hope you are well. Sorry I had to revert your move of ca:Rhopalodon wangenheimi from Q3179099 to Q16596120. The way automatic taxoboxes are set up on the Catalan Wikipedia requires this article (and similar ones) to be linked to the former on WikiData while invoking the latter locally. I apologise again for the inconvenience and hope you have a great day. Cheers.--Leptictidium (talk) 06:54, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
