Welcome to Wikidata, Sillyfolkboy!
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! --Tobias1984 (talk) 14:44, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
Babel
Babel lets you view and edit more than one language on Wikidata. Just add e.g. {{#babel:de-N|en-3|es-1|fr-2|nl-3|it-4|da-0}} to your user page. With the same language codes you can add links to your userpage on Wikipedia e.g. de:User:User123. --Tobias1984 (talk) 14:44, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
Personal record
Hi! I've added this property to some hundred ski jumpers and I have included it in an infobox template (see: Andreas Stjernen). The problem starts when an athlete has several personal records, like Usain Bolt. I've tried to figure out if these parameters is in use anywhere, without success. If you had any considerations about the use of this property, please let me know. --Cavernia (talk) 08:30, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Cavernia: Hi there. I have also looked into this idea and struggled. en:Module:WikidataIB seems to be able to fetch qualifier data, but only for specific items and where the parent piece of data is an item and not a value (like for personal best). I find it quite surprising that a query wrapper has not yet been written for this concept. I work with relational databases and I would be massively impaired if I was stuck at the first level of data, like we are here. Sadly, Lua is not a language I'm familiar with ): Sillyfolkboy (talk) 21:56, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- So why are we using qualifiers then? To impress the other contributors? I can't see any value in something that couln't be fetched from other wikis. I also tried to understand Lua, but it's too confusing for me as well. I'll see if I can get in touch with a contributor with better Lua skills. --Cavernia (talk) 22:07, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Cavernia: We're adding qualifiers because it's still valid data that can be extracted if the right person makes that possible. I see no reason why this data couldn't be used to automatically generate tables of personal bests, for example. The biggest barrier to achieving this is the current ban on German and English Wikipedias of doing such things - essentially, there is no incentive for people from the two most technically developed Wikipedia userbases to do this work yet. That is a real shame, and an issue that the Foundation should consider a significant issue for future development of all things Wiki. The only advice I can give is to rally support for this functionality at the next version of the meta:2016 Community Wishlist Survey. I will 100% support you in that.

- OK, I didn't know about this strong restistance against fetching data directly from Wikidata. I'll try to address it in Community Wishlist Survey 2017. --Cavernia (talk) 11:59, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Asian Athletics Grand Prix Series
The Asian Grand Prix athletics series is a commendable idea aimed at providing the athletes from this continent more exposure and more opportunities to compete against each other.
The world's best track and field athletes hail from the U.S., Europe and Africa. And those who make the grade from Asia are just a handful. For Asian athletes to travel to the west to take part in top level meets is an expensive affair and often they are not even eligible to get an entry in these meets.
So, the Asian GP series now presents the athletes a chance to take part in competitions in their own continent and is a step in the right direction by the Asian Amateur Athletic Association (AAAA).
The idea of an Asian GP was first mooted in 1987 but the event is getting underway only now, thanks to the initiative shown by the present office-bearers of AAAA. It is learnt that an Asian All Stars meet may also be organised next year. However, the organisers must be prepared to offer a sizeable prize money as well as appearance money to attract top stars. https://web.archive.org/web/20190608160324/https://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/2002/05/18/stories/2002051801332200.htm
