Welcome to Wikidata, TrWd2!

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!

Nazi plunder edit

Hi I noticed you have been active documenting Nazi plunder. Since a lot of the restitutions involve paintings, you may be interested in the project I just created for provenance. My focus will remain on paintings, but I know often other properties and aspects are involved. If you are interested in contributing, please sign up here: Wikidata:WikiProject Provenance and you can add the on focus list of Wikimedia project (P5008)->WikiProject Provenance (Q98801351) to any items of interest. I think a subpage on specific Nazi plunder cases may be needed, such as for the Gurlitt paintings case. Happy editing, Jane023 (talk) 10:45, 1 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
