Welcome to Wikidata, Silver hr!

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!

Socket puppet? edit

I see that you keep fighting against Property:P107 and I'll will not reverse your edit.[1] But I can imagine who you are. --Kolja21 (talk) 23:30, 14 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

A reply edit

Although it's delayed and doesn't address all of your points, I figured I would note my new reply to you at http://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Help_talk:Basic_membership_properties&curid=8480518&diff=51728600&oldid=51619820. Best, Emw (talk) 03:14, 21 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

RfC on Wikidata's primary sorting property edit

You recently participated in a deletion discussion for P107 - main type (GND). The discussion has been closed, as it is clear that a resolution won't come from PfD, and an RfC has been opened on the matter at Wikidata:Requests for comment/Primary sorting property. You are invited to participate there. Please note that this is a mass delivered message, and that I will not see any replies you leave on this page.

Yours, Sven Manguard Wha? 18:27, 30 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Manchester syntax edit

There's a discussion about how we should express data models at Wikidata:Project_chat#a_language_to_discuss_how_we_use_properties_and_how_we_model_things_in_Wikidata. Since you used OWL's Manchester syntax in our discussion at Help_talk:Basic_membership_properties, I figured you might be interested. If you notice any errors in my explanations of Manchester syntax there, any corrections would be appreciated! Emw (talk) 19:30, 7 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Why ? edit

Why did you delete the statement "instance of" -> "chemical compound" for ethanol ? We already discussed the classification in the chemistry task force (see Wikidata:Chemistry_task_force/Tools#Classification_trees and Wikidata_talk:Chemistry_task_force#Classification). So please launch a new discussion if you want to modify this classification before any change. Thank you Snipre (talk) 19:27, 12 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Call for participation in a task-based online experiment edit

Dear Silver hr,

I hope you are doing good,

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

The study will start in late January 2022 or early February 2022, and it should take no more than 30 minutes.

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/1FAIpQLSees9WzFXR0Vl3mHLkZCaByeFHRrBy51kBca53euq9nt3XWog/viewform?usp=sf_link

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

For more information about the study, 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.

Regards
