Welcome to Wikidata, PangolinMexico!

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!

Author last names

Hi there, I noticed some problems with your edits adding author last names (P9688), for example [1]. There are probably lots more similar problems. Are you able to fix these? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:21, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

Absolutely! So sorry about this and thanks for bringing it to my attention. PangolinMexico (talk) 08:25, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Adding last name and first name of the authors: is there a real interest?

Hello PangolinMexico, I am a little bit surprised to discover you added last name and first name for each author for this item. Honestly we can found this information on the referred pages. Too much data on the server is, for me, a bad idea. Have a great day. Givet (talk) 15:55, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Givet! I think there is a real interest as it facilitates automatic citation creation for Wikicite. What do you think? PangolinMexico (talk) 15:57, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

Reverted your August 23-24 changes to Q21481867

The bot had more than doubled the size of the item, from about 2 MB to about 4.5 MB, which made it impossible to edit any further. I suspect other items have been affected. I recommend you NOT use the bot to do these edits on any items with over 2000 authors. Maybe a 1000 or so limit would be preferable. If it does edit such items it should limit the number of authors affected - maybe just the first 10 or so. As I understand it the primary use of the last name information is for displaying author lists in standard citation format; nobody is going to display 1000 authors in a citation!

Oh no! Thanks so much for pointing that out, I'll add a 1000 author limit and test the size increase difference. :) PangolinMexico (talk) 22:04, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

@PangolinMexico: So why is your bot now editing Measurement of Higgs boson production in the diphoton decay channel in pp collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector (Q21481867)?? Please leave it and similar items alone! ArthurPSmith (talk) 16:00, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

And it has now made this item completely uneditable again - "The entity is too big. The maximum allowed entity size is 2.93 MB.". How can we get this to stop? ArthurPSmith (talk) 14:48, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Arthur, it's not too hard of a fix — I will stop the bot for today and fix the code tomorrow so any item stops after hitting a certain number of authors! I'm so sorry about this. PangolinMexico (talk) 14:59, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
