Welcome edit

 

Welcome to Wikidata, Wikilover90!

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!

No labels edit

Many of the items you created recently with OpenRefine do not contain any label. Please add as soon as possible the labels, otherwise the items will be deleted. --Pasleim (talk) 14:05, 10 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Need some help? edit

You seem to be getting started with OpenRefine and creating items like Bust of Bodhisattva (Q87904967). Please have a look at Wikidata:WikiProject_Visual_arts/Item_structure#Describing_individual_objects to see what fields you can add. The usage of author (P50) for art is incorrect by the way. It should only be used for written works. Use creator (P170) instead. Do you happen to know the uploader of the image? All the uploads are incorrectly licensed. That needs to be fixed or all will be deleted. That would be a shame. Multichill (talk) 18:18, 19 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi Multichill, Thank you for the ping. I indeed know the uploader. I will have the corrections made by tomorrow. Additionally, thank you for pointing out the mistake. I am having some complications indeed. For instance I am trying to add some new fields using the openrefine. But it seems this would have to be done manually. Also, can you guide me what to write for 12th century AD. It seems to not pick up the field of inception. Thank you Wikilover90 (talk) 18:45, 19 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
It looks like you have to enter it as "12. century BCE". That took me several tries to figure that out! I switched to location. That's a more common way of doing it here. Multichill (talk) 19:42, 19 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
Multichill Thank you!! Huge help. Can we put such values (12. century BCE) under inception? Also does this Bust of Bodhisattva (Q87904967) look better? I am working with my team of new photographers who uploaded those images to correct the licenses in the meantime. Thank you so very much for your time and support!!!
