Welcome to Wikidata, Rwiermer!
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.

Wrong item links edit
Hi Rwiermer. I'm just going through the list of items linking to the disambiguation page Male (Q360210). I came across several items where you have linked this instead of male (Q6581097) (e.g. Otto Schmidtgen (Q15121441), Peter Vankovych (Q14952204), Robert Campbell (Q7342705), Fárbauti (Q1396283)). Such mistakes can happen, and in this case it's not tragic at all, as it's easy to fix and that task I'm doing has to be done anyway (because it's a common type of vandalism to replace someone's sex). However, if you're mixing up items here, you may do so elsewhere, too, and maybe those other cases are not that obvious. So I'd like to remind you to check whether you are linking the right item, in order not to create junk data. That said, I want to thank you for your work for Wikidata, and wish you a nice day. --YMS (talk) 12:57, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
