Welcome to Wikidata, Ulamm!

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.

Hi. I have merged the duplicate entry you made for d:Q12337424 back. Some of the images on Commons were categorized with the former municipality Farsø (ended in 2007) which made this case a bit confusing.

Thank you!

You have completed professionally what I had begun pragmatically: All images and the Danish article can be found from each other.--Ulamm (talk) 14:38, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Nevertheless, generally I prefer the Commons categories to the Commons galleries. The galleries often are rather "touristical". As database for scientific questions, often those images are the most interesting that were excluded in the composition of galleries.--Ulamm (talk) 14:49, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

This way I do not agree.

Anybody, who sees one of the pictures in an article and clicks on it to get more images and background information, needs the category. And from the category he has to find any Wikipeda article written in any language on this subject.--Ulamm (talk) 14:59, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

Plase refrain from creating doublets and links to redirect pages on Wikipedia. Kind regards,  Rodejong  💬 ✉️  19:04, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

No!

The path from one photo to its category and from there to all related informations, including articles in one or more languages is necessary for the function of Wikipedia as an information machine.

The gallery pages in WM Commons are something like games_for_the_foolish_people. The ancient Romans said "panem et circenses", something like "bread and entertainment".--Ulamm (talk) 11:13, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

One more feature:

Each language has its own grid on the reality. The same group of phenomens in may be described one language by one single term, but in another language be described by two different terms, sometimes forming almost an opposition.

Even more complicated this is the situation with the articles in different language versions of Wikipedia.

If one theme is dealt by one article in some language versions, but by two or even more articles in some other language versions, Wikidata links on redirecting articles are inevitable to provide the linkage between the descriptions of the theme in all Wikipedias that describe it.

Otherwise the visitors get a wrong impression, in which languages a theme is dealt and in which it is missing.--Ulamm (talk) 11:28, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Again, refrain from adding redirects to Wikidata. Redirects aren't articles. Kind regards,  Rodejong  💬 ✉️  17:47, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Please note that the danish wikipedia article depends on certain info being available in its associated wikidata item and that by moving the wikipedia link to a new wikidata item you broke those dependencies. That's why I reverted your edits.

Also note that doublets makes it unnecessarily hard to search Wikidata. If I search for "Strandby Kirke" and I see several instances of "Strandby Kirke (Vesthimmerland)" (or similar) how can I know which one is the one I want? That's why there should be only one wikidata item per physical object.--Hjart (talk) 18:16, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Unsure for who's to blame. But the article should always be linked to the Wikipedia artcle, The Gallery shouldn't. I have switched them so that theyy now are linked correctly.

Should you encounter the same problem again, I would suggest to ask another user to do that for you. Kind regards,  Rodejong  💬 ✉️  18:49, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Links to websites

When you add website links like in Bælum Church (Q34053167), please make sure to add only the most important parts. I just shortened this one --Hjart (talk) 09:44, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
