Suggestions for improving Wikidata or the Wikidata editing experience

It should be possible to easily delete an item that you yourself made within the past hour/6 hours/12 hours/24 hours and which has not been edited by anyone else. This happens a lot because you think an item isn't there, so you make it, and soon discover it *is* there, just named slightly different. --WiseWoman (talk) 21:05, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WikiData displays the IP address if one is not logged in (no warning is also given). It would be good if one receives a warning or similar or any information on what to do if it might happen (e.g. linking contact details of Oversight). --Nyucodes (talk) 11:39, 23 July 2022 (UTC) VengCodes (talk) Xpi09 (talk)[reply]

When editing a statement, adding a date as a reference to the "retrieved" property a few minutes past midnight (CET), one recieves an error stating the date cannot be in the future. This error seems to happen because WikiData uses the UCT/GMT time zone. This should ideally not happen. --Nyucodes (talk) 11:39, 23 July 2022 (UTC) VengCodes (talk) Xpi09 (talk)[reply]
