Logo of Wikidata Welcome to Wikidata, RossiLeone!

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!

Hi RossiLeone,

Welcome to Wikidata. Thanks for contributing to Wikidata and linking Wikipedia articles you created from Wikidata. If you are adding German family names, maybe Digital Dictionary of Surnames in Germany (Q61889795) can be of use to you. Many family name items are using a related property Digital Dictionary of Surnames in Germany ID (P6597).

Labels on Wikidata are slightly different from article titles at Wikipedia. Please have a look at Help:Label/es, especially "1) Desambiguación". Accordingly, the Spanish label for Q16101801 would be "Pfeiffer" and not "Pfeiffer (apellido)". The change at [1] and other similar should be reverted.

Wikidata:WikiProject Names has a short intro. --- Jura 06:49, 14 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I just noticed that you changed labels again at [2]. Please stop doing that. If you persist, I will ask you to be blocked.
If you need help in Spanish, you might want to ask at Wikidata:Café. --- Jura 08:30, 14 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

We changed the label as THE ARTICLES IS NAMED IN ITS OWN LANGUAGE, I'm'ative Spanish speaker that's why I fixed, you clearly don't let it as how it should be, mainly when in Spanish we don't get an article called, "Müller" is has to be "Müller (apellido)".

  • The Wikipedia article title doesn't need to be the label of the Wikidata item in the same language. Especially the disambiguator needs to be left out. It's an important difference between Wikidata and Wikipedia. Please re-read Help:Label/es and ask at Wikidata:Café if you aren't convinced. --- Jura 12:25, 14 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Call for participation in the interview study with Wikidata editors

edit

Dear RossiLeone,

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 [email protected] or [email protected] 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 if you have any questions or require more information about this project.

Thank you for considering taking part in this research.

Regards

Descriptions

edit

Hello RossiLeone, please note that in almost all languages descriptions should start with lower case letters. --Nw520 (talk) 22:51, 14 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks but if you're gonna help just change the letter, you put versions like "centro-derecha" which in Spanish DOESN'T exist, It is "Centroderecha"... RossiLeone (talk) 22:54, 14 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
