Logo of Wikidata Welcome to Wikidata, Kiwigirl3850!

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.

University of South Carolina Press

Ne convient-il pas de distinguer la maison d'édition de l'université ? Peut-on, en France confondre les PUF et la Sorbonne, par exemple ? Plusieurs universités ont d'ailleurs leur presses universitaires. La confusion peut être préjudiciable. Bel bonjour. --Ambre Troizat (talk) 15:53, 24 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Library of Congress Classification

edit

Hi! I've just noticed that you added two Library of Congress Classification (P1149) in Basil of Caesarea (Q44258): while the second (BR1720.B3) is clearly OK and its link works well, the first (.BR65.B3-.B36) seems violating format-constraint (which maybe is wrong, I don't know) and its link doesn't work. Could you explain me the difference between the two IDs? Thank you very much, --Epìdosis 17:22, 28 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi! I added those years ago before there were format-constraints, so I wasn't aware the extra was a violation. BR1720.B3 is the number for biographies of Basil of Caesarea, while BR65.B3-.B36 (the opening "." was a typo) refer to a span of numbers for Basil's works. Now that I know there aren't supposed to be two numbers, I removed the one referring to his written works. Hopefully that was the appropriate solution! --User:Kiwigirl3850 (talk) 00:19, 3 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hymns focus list

edit

You've marked a number of items as being "on the focus list for" WikiProject PCC Wikidata Pilot/Wheaton College/Hymns, but I cannot locate the focus list. --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:10, 18 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I've been using that marking as a basis for creating a list, but I haven't yet learned how to use Listeria to generate the list. I'm hoping that I will have time to figure that out in the next couple of months. --User:Kiwigirl3850 (talk)

FULL CAPS

edit

Hi Kiwigirl,

please don't add hymns with full caps, e.g. at MCMINNVILLE (Q127044059).-- Bernice Heiderman (talk) 16:18, 17 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Bernice Heiderman, full caps is the convention used by hymnological scholars to designate hymn tunes, which is why I use the convention. If there is a Wikidata rule that does not permit this, will you please point me to it? --User:Kiwigirl3850 (talk) 12:23, 18 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi,

I'm currently cleaning a lot of duplicated links in Wikidata. I wanted to let you know that I remove ~700 links that were present in double with both described at URL (P973) and Hymnary tune ID (P6431), like on 1 Corintios 13 (Q110293361) (that you edited along with other similar items).

Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 18:24, 29 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for doing that, @VIGNERON! I used the "described at URL" version a few years ago before I learned better, and I hadn't gotten around to cleaning them up yet. I appreciate the help. cstrickler (talk) 21:32, 29 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
