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.

Facto Post – Issue 1 – 14 June 2017
editFacto Post – Issue 1 – 14 June 2017
This newsletter starts with the motto "common endeavour for 21st century content". To unpack that slogan somewhat, we are particularly interested in the new, post-Wikidata collection of techniques that are flourishing under the Wikimedia collaborative umbrella. To linked data, SPARQL queries and WikiCite, add gamified participation, text mining and new holding areas, with bots, tech and humans working harmoniously. Scientists, librarians and Wikimedians are coming together and providing a more unified view of an emerging area. Further integration of both its community and its technical aspects can be anticipated. While Wikipedia will remain the discursive heart of Wikimedia, data-rich and semantic content will support it. We'll aim to be both broad and selective in our coverage. This publication Facto Post (the very opposite of retroactive) and call to action are brought to you monthly by ContentMine.
If you wish to receive issues of Facto Post on English Wikipedia, please add your name to our mailing list. You can always remove it.

editWhat are you done in Wikidata:Requests_for_deletions? Why you delete batch of items also if none are deleted? --ValterVB (talk) 18:10, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
- Hi ValterVB. I am the one who created them under the ProteinBoxBot account. I thought I had screwed up the page because most of them weren't showing up on the page. But it looks like it just exceeded the max template include size and that is why they weren't showing up. Once the ones that are still there are deleted, I'll repost the others, to avoid overwhelming the page again. Gstupp (talk) 18:13, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

editHey Gstupp, I saw this removal of a section on WD:RfD by you yesterday. What’s the matter with the items in it? Thanks, —MisterSynergy (talk) 06:57, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

retinal disease in blindness
editI have removed "retinal disease" because it is not a subclass of blindness. A retinal disease can cause blindness, just like a "lens disease" (Q18553990, with cataracts) or "corneal disease" (Q18553785). Note that "lens disease", logically, is not included. But "visual impairment" is a subclass of "blindness", since blindness is the maximum degree of visual impairment. Please, remove "retinal disease", is an error.

- @Gstupp: You did not answer me. I have not explained exactly the reasons or you did not understand them. What is the matter?. Jordi March (talk) 20:18, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
- I created an issue on the Disease ontology (the source of this statement) with your explanation. Feel free to add to it. Thanks Gstupp (talk) 20:58, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
exact match (Q39893449) mapping to SKOS property
editHi Greg, I've seen you have removed my adding of equivalent property (P1628) http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#exactMatch to exact match (Q39893449). That's ok - I was already looking for a better choise, when I recognized the collision with the existing constraints. What I want to achieve is a mapping from the WD item to the the SKOS property URI, in order to use it during the automated extraction of a SKOS mapping between the WD items and other vocubularies (in my case, STW Thesaurus for Economics (Q26903352)) - which of course did not work any more after you removed the property. Now I've chosen URL (P2699) to keep the information, and hope that should not hurt anywhere. If you disagree, please let us discuss, if there's a better choise. Cheers, Joachim Jneubert (talk) 13:37, 13 August 2018 (UTC) Hi [[User:Jneubert|Jneubert], Yes I removed it because equivalent property (P1628) should be on a property not on an item, and it is already used on exact match (P2888). I see you did the same for the other skos mappings (i.e. broad match (Q39894595), etc.) Looks fine to me! Gstupp (talk) 17:31, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
pmidtool on Toolforge
editHi! It looks like the pmidtool Toolforge tool is failing to start its web service. Could you fix it or archive the tool if it's no longer used? Thanks, Taavi (talk) 14:34, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
