Welcome to Wikidata, Smiley.toerist!

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!

Proposal

Hi. Any chance you'd be interested in doing a proposal for "location canceled" to go along with the date canceled property? Thanks :) --Adamant1 (talk) 22:34, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Can you give an concrete example?Smiley.toerist (talk) 23:38, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Like with File:1898 circa Zander & Labisch, Berlin, AK Grußkarte Ewige Lampe, Hannover, Inhaber Julius Bockhold, Adressseite.jpg how it gives Hannover for the location inside the circular cancel above the date. --Adamant1 (talk) 05:01, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

It is unclear. By 'date canceled' there is always a location implicit. In this example you have two dates (send date / from post office posted) and the (arrived at) at the post office of the destination. Both are cancel dates. Maybe it is usefull to allow for two values for 'canceled property'. I would not needlesly complicate things by adding a new property. After all it nearly always only used for dating purposes of the postcard. High precision is not needed.Smiley.toerist (talk) 13:53, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

You don't think it would be useful to know what that location is though? If there could be two values for the 'canceled property' that would be helpful to. I think it's helpful to know where the postcard or envelope is sent from or goes to though. A postcard or envelope sent from say Nazi Germany during WW2 is completely different then one sent from Argentina during the same time. Just knowing that it was sent in 1943 doesn't help with that though. Or for instance mail sent by balloon from Przemyśl, Poland during World War 1. "1915" doesn't convey anything in that case. What about "mailed from" and "mailed to" properties instead? Although they would not allow for intermittent stops and I think there is value in confining it to what is inside the cancels. --Adamant1 (talk) 00:37, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

I think this proposal can best be moved to 'project chat', to see what for solutions there are. It is premature to start a concrete property proposal. By the way, I am new to this to, this was my first proposal in Wikidata.Smiley.toerist (talk) 10:08, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

That works. Thanks. I didn't think it was ready to do a proposal yet about it. I just wanted to see what you thought of the idea. I didn't think about posting it at Project Chat though. So I'll see what people there have to say. --Adamant1 (talk) 21:56, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Call for participation in the interview study with Wikidata editors

Dear Smiley.toerist,

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 that develops a personalized recommendation system to suggest Wikidata items for the editors based on their interests and preferences. I am collaborating on this project with Elena Simperl and Miaojing Shi.

I would love to talk with you to know about your current ways to choose the items you work on in Wikidata and understand the factors that might influence such a decision. Your cooperation will give us valuable insights into building a recommender system that can help improve your editing experience.

Participation is completely voluntary. You have the option to withdraw at any time. Your data will be processed under the terms of UK data protection law (including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018). The information and data that you provide will remain confidential; it will only be stored on the password-protected computer of the researchers. We will use the results anonymized (?) to provide insights into the practices of the editors in item selection processes for editing and publish the results of the study to a research venue. If you decide to take part, we will ask you to sign a consent form, and you will be given a copy of this consent form to keep.

If you’re interested in participating and have 15-20 minutes to chat (I promise to keep the time!), please either contact me at kholoudsaa@gmail.com or use this form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdmmFHaiB20nK14wrQJgfrA18PtmdagyeRib3xGtvzkdn3Lgw/viewform?usp=sf_link with your choice of the times that work for you.

I’ll follow up with you to figure out what method is the best way for us to connect.

Please contact me using the email mentioned above if you have any questions or require more information about this project.

Thank you for considering taking part in this research.

Regards

Kholoud

I am only marginaly involved in Wikidata. My main focus the Dutch Wikipedia and uploading and managing files/categories in the Commons. Occasionaly I come acros some issues wich also involve Wikidata, but out of self preservation, (once you start it never ends and I always find things that should be done) I keep my focus on the two Wikimedia projects mentioned.Smiley.toerist (talk) 08:07, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

omschrijvingen / descriptions

Smiley Tourist, de wikidata-omschrijvingen worden altijd geschreven alsof ze midden in een zin staan, wat betekent dat ze zelden beginnen met een hoofdletter. Alleen als de omschrijving begint met een eigennaam/landnaam moet er uiteraard wel een hoofdletter aan het begin staan. Edoderoo (talk) 21:19, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
