Welcome

Welcome to Wikidata, Tol!

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! ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:50, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Call for participation in the interview study with Wikidata editors

Dear Tol,

I hope you are doing good,

I am Kholoud, a researcher at King’s College London, and I work on a project as part of my PhD research that develops a personalized recommendation system to suggest Wikidata items for the editors based on their interests and preferences. I am collaborating on this project with Elena Simperl and Miaojing Shi.

I would love to talk with you to know about your current ways to choose the items you work on in Wikidata and understand the factors that might influence such a decision. Your cooperation will give us valuable insights into building a recommender system that can help improve your editing experience.

Participation is completely voluntary. You have the option to withdraw at any time. Your data will be processed under the terms of UK data protection law (including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018). The information and data that you provide will remain confidential; it will only be stored on the password-protected computer of the researchers. We will use the results anonymized to provide insights into the practices of the editors in item selection processes for editing and publish the results of the study to a research venue. If you decide to take part, we will ask you to sign a consent form, and you will be given a copy of this consent form to keep.

If you’re interested in participating and have 15-20 minutes to chat (I promise to keep the time!), please either contact me at kholoudsaa@gmail.com or use this form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdmmFHaiB20nK14wrQJgfrA18PtmdagyeRib3xGtvzkdn3Lgw/viewform?usp=sf_link with your choice of the times that work for you.

I’ll follow up with you to figure out what method is the best way for us to connect.

Please contact me using the email mentioned above if you have any questions or require more information about this project.

Thank you for considering taking part in this research.

Regards

Kholoud

Hi, Tol.

Some admin from wikicommon said that I promote an advertisement for someone, but that's not right. I just help contributing to wikidata about the noble person in my country that hasn't had an information on this site yet. I'm a representative of people in my country, to contribute about a noble person in my country, that might be rare to see, and no advertisement purpose whatsoever  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zarabernal (talk • contribs) at 20:57, 10 April 2022‎ (UTC).

@Zarabernal: You created an item about someone who is not notable, with a promotional description. Then, when it was nominated for deletion, you removed the request for deletion. Now, you're insulting other users. Please stop. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 00:42, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed you contacted the IP above. It is a very problematic user and I don't know how to handle it, also because it spans over a very wide IP range (I also opened a discussion here). --Horcrux (talk) 07:43, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know, @Horcrux. Hopefully an admin can take care of it. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 20:30, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Wikidata:Properties for deletion

Hi, just to note that User:Pi admin bot will automatically archive this now, please don't manually archive entries from now on, and simultaneously maintain Template:Watchlist summary/PFD. Please let me know if you spot any problems with the bot! Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 15:31, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

Sounds great, @Mike Peel; thanks for letting me know! Tol (talk | contribs) @ 18:24, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

Property:P5420

Hi Tol,

what has P5420 been?-- Dixiparty (talk) 11:42, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Dixiparty! See Wikidata:Properties for deletion/P5420 — it was merged into GS1 GPC code (P8957). I believe it was a duplicate property with less metadata. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 12:17, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. And what was its title? GS1 Global Product Classification brick code--Dixiparty (talk) 12:23, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Yep; that's it! Tol (talk | contribs) @ 12:26, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
