Welcome to Wikidata, Vdelavenne!

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!

and congratulations for your first OpenRefine import! − Pintoch (talk) 15:52, 17 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi Vdelavenne,

Following the discussion on WD:RAQ, do you need help cleaning it up? --- Jura 22:59, 1 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi Jura !

I just seen your response, sorry ! I used Property:P180 for archival fonds after inquiring what precise Wikidata property I could use to indicate the access points in my archival fonds (Place, Subject and Name Access Points, precisely). I discussed it with the Wikidata Archival community [[1]], and the response I got was that P180 could be used for non-graphical works ; the property constraints indicate "literature" and "printed matter", so I thought that indeed it could work, even though it is too generic for my taste. I would rather have a property that mirrored access points and could be used for other things than archives (I was thinking along the lines of "mentions location", "mentions person" and "mentions subject")... So I am very eager to read your thoughts on the matter ! If you have a better property or if P180 really doesn't work, I can erase these statements with QuickStatements without too much trouble, but I would love to find a way to translate Access Points into the Wikidata items !
