Welcome to Wikidata, WimLo!

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.

VAi IDs edit

Latest comment: 8 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I was planning on removing described at URL (P973) statements linking to VAi on items which have a VAi building ID (P9153) statement, since these are redundant. I've made similar edits before, as in https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q2362660&diff=prev&oldid=1438951793. Do you have any objections? See this basic query: https://query.wikidata.org/#%23title%3A%20Items%20met%20VAi%20ID%20en%20described%20at%20URL%20statements%0ASELECT%20%2a%20WHERE%20%7B%0A%20%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP9153%20%3Fid%20%3B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20wdt%3AP973%20%3Furl%20.%0A%7D

While checking if we had the latest batch of buildings in Wikidata, I noticed that some (all?) of the buildings on https://www.vai.be/gebouwen?type=&q= have broken permalinks. I checked the top 4:

In case the order is random, it was these four:

Currently these permalinks all 404 for me. Are you still affiliated with VAi? Maybe you have more info? Are you already planning a bulk import of the latest buildings? --Azertus (talk) 19:30, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi Azertus,

Thanks for your message. Yes, I'm still affiliated with VAi.

I have no objections against removing the 'described at URL' statement. If I remember well, we only used these as a temporary statement since the VAi building ID statement was not in place at the time.

Thanks a lot for noticing the broken permalinks! There was a technical issue that is now fixed.

A jobstudent is currently working on our building database, adding the latest buildings. We are also organizing the Festival of Architecture this year in September, which always leads to new buildings in our database. I'll plan a new import in Wikidata after these events.

Hi Wim,

I think that VK Studio is identical to https://www.vk-architects-engineers.com/nl/over-vk . Do you know more about this company?-- U. M. Owen (talk) 08:50, 18 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
