User talk:Tom Morris/Archive 1

Welcome to Wikidata, Tom Morris!

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!

I saw that you have used Q2489642 for Philosopher but the right item is Q4964182. Now I have corrected them. --ValterVB (talk) 19:31, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

RfC on Wikidata's primary sorting property

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? 18:28, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Filling data (facts) about me shouldn't be considered as self promotion

Regarding your nomination of Q18642606 for deletion. Yes is data about me, but putting my birthplace, birthdate and names shouldn't be considered as self-promotion. I'm just entering stated facts about me, and not saying "Alejandro Zielinsky is the best web developer in the world", so it is not promotion.

I'm obviously a beginner here and i don't know how to reply to the message you sent me, sorry if this isn't the proper channel

See Wikidata:Notability. Unless there's a Wikipedia page about you, then it falls outside of the scope of Wikidata. —Tom Morris (talk) 12:00, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Wikinews

Good to see you here. :) When linking wn categories to Wikidata, link to the item for the main topic rather than to the item for the category. Wikinews uses cats in a much more forward-facing, portalesque way. See Wikidata:Wikinews/Development#Interproject links. Blood Red Sandman (talk) 14:44, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Tom, Thanks for the welcome message on my talk site. I've an issue merging Q17992736 with Q252190. When I try to merge these Items I get a message that tells me there is a conflict. Any Idea? Best regards, Mfilot (talk) 21:30, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Mfilot:  Done —Tom Morris (talk) 16:15, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
