Welcome to Wikidata, Vojtěch Dostál!

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! --Tobias1984 (talk) 22:23, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello, Mr Vojtěch Dostál, you made a mistake, because I speak romanian, but not romani, which is not the same thing, it is a different language. Could you please rectify it ? Many thanks and have a nice day ! Radu Alexandru Negrescu-Suţu

Vojtěch Dostál (talkcontribs)

Thank you, I deprecated the information in Wikidata (marked it as false) and informed the people who run the source database.

Vojtěch Dostál (talkcontribs)

The mistake is already fixed in the source database.

For Q121942244, I entered an English translation, with perhaps a misleading quote note "(original label)" by which I meant a label original for Wikidata. What is the best/preferred way to enter a Wikidata-specific English label?

Vojtěch Dostál (talkcontribs)

I am not sure how unofficial translations should be added to book editions, if at all. The translation seems to be your original research, isn't it. However, if the book was really published in English, you can create a new item for that English book edition.

Dan Polansky (talkcontribs)

Thank you. The translation was my original research, indeed; it is not known to me that the book was published in English. What about adding "(original research label)" at the end of the label? Surely there is value in rendering the Czech label into lingua franca, which is nowadays English rather than Latin? Is there perhaps a guideline or policy dealing with the matter?

Vojtěch Dostál (talkcontribs)

I think the policy is that the labels should correspond to the contents of the item, which I don't think your label did. Also I hate brackets in labels, that's a big no. You can get some expert opinion from people at wikidata:WikiProject Books

Dan Polansky (talkcontribs)

I am not asking about hypotheses about policy but rather about actual codified policy, guidline, previous decisions and discussions, etc. Your attitude seems to be that for many books (Czech or German), the English label will necessarily be empty, which I do not think is the ideal plan. I guess I will ask elsewhere after I find energy for it.

Vojtěch Dostál (talkcontribs)

Yes, please ask elsewhere. I don't know the specific policy for books but my knowledge of general polices in Wikidata tells me that in this case, the English labels should indeed remain empty, or just copy the cs label.

RomanM82 (talkcontribs)

Ahoj, máš tam spletené dvě různé osoby dohromady. Viz diskuze.

Mike Rohsopht (talkcontribs)

Hi, Please fix Q6829737. Michael David Thomas and Michael J. Thomas are not the same person. They both born in 1933 but the former one is still alive.

Vojtěch Dostál (talkcontribs)

Done, thanks for reporting it, Mike.

Duplicate of d:Q107097337 merged

Epìdosis (talkcontribs)

Could you check if cs:Jan Eneáš and cs:Jan Aeneas are to be merged? If you merge them, it will be possible to merge the two items. Thanks in advance!

Vojtěch Dostál (talkcontribs)

Yes, I merged the articles. Thanks for noticing!

Hi, the following code needs to be inserted into the infobox code to a precise spot, to be used only if the birth date is filled in locally in Wikipedia.


{{#if:{{#property:P569}}||[[Категорија:Date of birth not in Wikidata]]}}


However I am not sure where this code should precisely go because I cannot orient myself in the infobox wikicode.

Hi,

yeah, this is a known mistake. We formerly added Q121594 as occupation, but it's an academic degree rather than an occupation. But not all P106:Q121594 currently are professors by degree - the usage is quite vague in many languages including Czech.

In cases like this one, where we have Q121594 + some other occupation, and Q121594 is only sourced from NKC, I'd be inclined towards a mass removal of Q121594 from items.

Jahl de Vautban (talkcontribs)

Thanks, I will remove it when I see it - if you can batch remove any similar case, that'll be great.

Vojtěch Dostál (talkcontribs)

I'll try to do it in the upcoming days.

Zdravím,


u Q87982878 se mi nedařilo propojení s článkem na wikipedii (Muzeum Mohelnice) tak, aby se v šabloně objevil kód památky. Předpokládal jsem, že když muzeu přiřadím přes parametr uses budovu (Q31736337), tak to bude fungovat. Pak jsem zkusil has parts, ačkoliv jsem tušil, že to nebude ono. Teď už je na wikipedii kód památky uveden, to stačilo opravdu jen budovu přiřadit k sídlu headquarters location? Předem díky za odpověď.

Vojtěch Dostál (talkcontribs)

Jojo, dělá to tohle "místo" jako vymezení sídla. Je to trochu hack. Ale "Uses" je příliš obecné na to, abychom to takto mohli používat.

Také díky a zdravím

Summary by Epìdosis

Detected (and suppressed) a few items of works that had been wrongly imported as persons.

Epìdosis (talkcontribs)

I have just redirected Q120600170 to Jaroslav Seifert (Q102483); the first has been created as istanza di (P31)umano (Q5) on the basis of https://aleph.nkp.cz/F/?func=find-c&local_base=aut&ccl_term=ica=aun2016922584 which however seems to be a work and not a human. Could this be checked by the NKC? Thanks!

Vojtěch Dostál (talkcontribs)

Thanks, that's indeed mistake on the part of NKC. In fact, "aun" authority files are for works, not for people.

Vojtěch Dostál (talkcontribs)
Epìdosis (talkcontribs)

Perfect! And they won't be bot-reimported, right?

Vojtěch Dostál (talkcontribs)

Nope. These were in fact not imported by a bot, but by me, when I created missing author items for a book import.

RomanM82 (talkcontribs)

Ahoj, ve Wikidata infoboxu se nezobrazuje identifikátor pro web Sochy a města, viz např. zde Q112218240.

Podíval by ses na to prosím? Díky,
