User talk:Lancelot
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.

Merging
[edit]Hi, when merging a pair of items, could you please merge to the lower QID value?
Also, you might try the "Merge" gadget in your preferences. --Izno (talk) 17:51, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
Global account
[edit]Hi Gabal! As a Steward I'm involved in the upcoming unification of all accounts organized by the Wikimedia Foundation (see m:Single User Login finalisation announcement). By looking at your account, I realized that you don't have a global account yet. In order to secure your name, I recommend you to create such account on your own by submitting your password on Special:MergeAccount and unifying your local accounts. If you have any problems with doing that or further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Cheers, DerHexer (talk) 11:50, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
Merge
[edit]Hi, please keep items that are two different concepts such as different taxon ranks separate. The Amphiaeschna (Q2385081) and Amphiaeschna ampla (Q2939007) refer to a monotypic genus and a species, respectively, and even then they should be kept separate. After your merge, the parent taxon (P171) claimed to be itself, which is incorrect. Also, you had to remove an interwiki link for nlwiki which had two articles about the genus and the species, which made one of them disconnected. Perhaps the problem was that the link to frwiki was renamed, but then it should be moved to the correct item. Thanks. --Wikidatist (talk) 09:14, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
