Skim

Welcome to Wikidata, Skim!

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.

Merge candidates per RfC

Hello, per RfC here merge candidates are no longer deleted, you could use merge gadget available in your preferences as option to merge/redirect items. Thanks for editing-- H^akan·IST 11:40, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

@HakanIST: Ok, thanks. Skim (talk) 11:46, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

ČSFD film ID

If you want a property ČSFD film ID, you need to propose it here. If the community has no objections, then it will be created. Mbch331 (talk) 10:55, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

@Mbch331: Yes, i saw it, but form is a bit non-intuitive :-). I created it now. Thanks. Skim (talk) 11:42, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

After the template, (before the talk section) you need to add a motivation, why you want this property created. Mbch331 (talk) 11:55, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

@Mbch331: ok, added :-) Skim (talk) 14:08, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

I've created the property and I'm importing the values from cswiki. Mbch331 (talk) 14:18, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Wikidata as its own reference

One shouldn't use Wikidata as a reference for Wikidata. :-) I found a few examples where a claim is reference to Wikidata, see, e.g., [1]. — Finn Årup Nielsen (fnielsen) (talk) 13:37, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Ok, that's bad idea :-) Skim (talk) 14:02, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Autoritní identifikátory jako součást referencí

Zdravím,

vlastnosti pro autoritní identifikátory (např. NL CR AUT ID (P691)) mají typicky nastaveno omezení „Pouze hodnota“, což znamená, že se předpokládá jejich užití pouze jako hodnoty tvrzení, nikoli ve vymezeních nebo referencích. Vy je ale přidáváte do referencí, což je tedy chybně (resp. v rozporu se stávajícím modelem). Chápu účel takové reference, ale dosud jsem to řešil tak, že místo vložení autoritního identifikátoru jsem vložil příslušné URL (vizte např. tuto editaci).

--Mormegil (talk) 14:00, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Zdravím, to je zajímavý problém. Jsem to dělal intuitivně. 1) Myslím si, že zadání odkazu není moc dobrý nápad pro situace, kdy se ten odkaz mění. Což se jednoduše stává. Pokud ovšem panuje shoda, tak to tak klidně budu dělat. 2) Jakto, že tenhle konflikt není u VIAF ID (P214) (Constraing violation) ? Skim (talk) 17:12, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

@Mormegil: Hm?

Item to be delete

In RFD there are one or more item proposed for the deletion created by you. If you do not agree you can participate in the debate --ValterVB (talk) 21:56, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

@ValterVB: I added some information to this items. Can you review this? Skim (talk) 10:43, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

 Done I have added also the reciprocal properties part of (P361) so fall under the 3th criterium. Thanks --ValterVB (talk) 10:57, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks :-) Skim (talk) 13:02, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

@ValterVB: I am a bit confused by adding of part of (P361) because there is part of the series (P179), which is subproperty of part of (P361) :-) Skim (talk) 13:02, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

part of (P361) is also the inverse of has part(s) (P527) so it's correct. --ValterVB (talk) 13:36, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Q30105635

Hezký den, pokud je nějaký objekt pouze částí kulturní památky (jako např. Q30105635), prosím neoznačuj ho rejstříkovým číslem ÚSKP, nýbrž pomocí vlastnosti P1435 vkládej hodnotu Q30118385 s kvalifikátorem "čeho". Rádi bychom na Wikidatech měli ke každému rejstříkovému číslu vždy jedinou položku. Díky, --Vojtěch Dostál (talk) 10:58, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Ahoj. ok, chápu :-) Skim (talk) 11:04, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Díkes :-). Každopádně pomoc s manuální kontrolou rejstříkových čísel ÚSKP by byla super. Třeba tohle jsou české články s šablonou monumnet, ale bez rejstříkového čísla (mnohdy chybí záměrně, ale jindy je potřeba rejstříkové číslo doplnit). V druhé fázi plánujeme pomocí seznamů kulturních památek + dat od NPÚ vytvořit pro každou památku jednu položku vč. památek bez článků. --Vojtěch Dostál (talk) 11:17, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

@Vojtěch Dostál:Ok. Mě by zajímala jiná věc. Snažím se teď přidávat na Wikidata umělecké objekty (např. Memorial „Oběti světové války“, Bílovice nad Svitavou (Q30127298)), které pak zobrazuje Crotos a Callisto. A nevím jak nastavit heritage designation (P1435)? Pokud jsem to pochopil dobře, tak existuje cultural monument of the Czech Republic (Q385405), ale i jiné (např. national cultural monument of the Czech Republic (Q649434), který je subclass of (P279) toho předchozího) a nevím jak to rozpoznat. Mohl bys mi poradit? Viz třeba Chronicle of Dalimil (Q550001), která má v heritage designation (P1435) obě tyhle kategorie. Skim (talk) 18:39, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Asi když je něco NKP, tak je to zároveň i KP (bylo by hloupé nechat si vyjet třeba KP určitého okresu/města a ty nejcennější věci by tam chyběly, protože jsou NKP). Další možný přístup je ten, že spousta NKP byla před tím nějakou dobu KP, takže by šlo napsat pro KP časové rozmezí a k NKP dát datum vyhlášení NKP, tj. přeřazení z "obyčejné" KP do NKP.--Ben Skála (talk) 13:53, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Křížky bez českého popisku

Ahoj, přidávání různých drobných soch je chvályhodné, ale mohl bys prosím přidávat i české popisky? :) Mám ambici, abychom na českém území neměli žádnou položku bez českého popisku. --Vojtěch Dostál (talk) 11:49, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

@Vojtěch Dostál:@Ben Skála: Jo, to bych rád. Já přidávám všude české a anglické popisky, pokud je vím. Tady u těch křížků a ostatních malých věcí zatím přesně nevím jak to pojmenovávat. Chtěl bych se syncnout s Benem a ostatníma, jak to pojmenovávat. Tohle je pořád ve fázi »Proof of concept«. :-) Takže pokud máte nějaké nápady, tak to můžeme nějak začít dělat. Skim (talk) 13:18, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Jasně, jinak vyskytly se tam nějaké duplicity (dvě položky se stejnými kódy památek): Q30542177 a Q30618887, a dále Q30232389 a Q30242729. Mohl bych tě poprosit o pomoc? Díky, --Vojtěch Dostál (talk) 19:22, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Opravil jsem to. Skim (talk) 20:05, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi Skim, I recently reverted two of your data additions because they revealed non-public information that the user requested to be removed. Please don't re-add the information, but this is mainly an FYI and does not reflect negatively on you. Regards, -- Ajraddatz (talk) 14:30, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

country of citizenship (P27)Austria-Hungary (Q28513)

Hi, I noticed that you add country of citizenship (P27)Austria-Hungary (Q28513) to a lot of items. Thank you for your effort, just a suggestion: Austria-Hungary never had a unified citizenship (the two citizenship laws were actually pretty different). A more appropriate value for most Czechs from the time would be Cisleithania (Q533534) (at least if their Domovské právo / domovská příslušnost corresponded to a village or town within Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia or any other Cisleithanian land). --Emu (talk) 17:26, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

@Emu: I know about your effort. We are discussing in the Czech group about it and we need some information about it. Have you got some documents (law) about it? Skim (talk) 18:08, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

@Emu: I am removing nonsense usage of Czech Republic (Q213) actually. And Austria-Hungary (Q28513) is ok for me now. Skim (talk) 18:49, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

The most comprehensive ressource on this is probably Q105813003, but it’s in German. --Emu (talk) 19:19, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Is the discussion in the Czech group public? I would be interested to hear about it (I don’t speak Czech, but Google Translate gives me a pretty decent idea) --Emu (talk) 19:22, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Call for participation in a task-based online experiment

Dear Skim,

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, in which I have developed a personalised recommender system that suggests Wikidata items for the editors based on their past edits. I am collaborating on this project with Elena Simperl and Miaojing Shi.

I am inviting you to a task-based study that will ask you to provide your judgments about the relevance of the items suggested by our system based on your previous edits. Participation is completely voluntary, and your cooperation will enable us to evaluate the accuracy of the recommender system in suggesting relevant items to you. We will analyse the results anonymised, and they will be published to a research venue.

The study will start in late January 2022 or early February 2022, and it should take no more than 30 minutes.

If you agree to participate in this study, please either contact me at kholoud.alghamdi@kcl.ac.uk or use this form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSees9WzFXR0Vl3mHLkZCaByeFHRrBy51kBca53euq9nt3XWog/viewform?usp=sf_link I will contact you with the link to start the study.

For more information about the study, please read this post: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Kholoudsaa In case you have further questions or require more information, don't hesitate to contact me through my mentioned email.

Thank you for considering taking part in this research.

Regards

Czechoslovak book ID

Hi,

I created Czechoslovak book ID (P10962) after Wikidata:Property proposal/Identifier of Czechoslovak books but I'm a bit confused, is there really no format url for this id? (if so, are the examples really correct?).

Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 15:54, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

@VIGNERON: Hi, there is no official and unofficial database of this identifier. I spent some time in communication with National Library , some ministries and the National archive and no one know about this database. Identifiers are there from 1962 to 1989 (end of communism, in some cases longer). I believe that similar identifiers were in some other countries (e.g. German Democratic Republic (Q16957)). Sometimes some databases describe this identifier as ISBN, but this is not ISBN. My personal goal is to create a database project for this identifier, in progress. In examples section are sources for some identifiers. Skim (talk) 10:24, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for the confirmation. If ony day, there is a format URL, feel free to add it to the property. Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 16:41, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

Yes, i know. Thanks. Skim (talk) 19:07, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

English title indicated as Czech

Hi,

I corrected the language of two titles The Farmer and the Obstetrician (Q106413332) and The Secret Life of the Unborn Child: How You Can Prepare Your Baby for a Happy, Healthy Life (Q116155744) from Czech to English (the title itself is in English and every other data on these items point to English).

I'm not sure what happened but I wanted to let you know.

Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 17:07, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Yes, thank you. That was some mistake. Skim (talk) 06:58, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Adding Wiktionary as a source URL

It is already the case that Wikimedia projects are not considered real sources, and a lot of Czech lexemes already have Akademický slovník současné češtiny ID (P12926) on them (as an external source to which they can point), so it is therefore not appropriate to mass-add links to the Czech Wiktionary as you are currently doing, and thus you should remove the ones you have already added. If you can point to definitions of those words in some Czech dictionary without murky provenance, I believe that would be better. Mahir256 (talk) 15:48, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

@Mahir256: I was looked to e.g. English lexemes and there was link to Wiktionary. I don't think that is source of information, but it's link to important system, which has similar functionality. If link exists, I could go to Wiktionary. And I could create query, which items has'n item in Wiktionary and vice versa. I think that is important.

Is that understandable?

btw: I am planning to add other Czech lexeme databases external ids. Skim (talk) 16:10, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

I don't know which English lexemes you were looking at (though there appear to be only four, out of >75,114, that have P973 pointing to Wiktionary), but those links are also in error and I will remove them shortly. I hope you are able to propose the new Czech database identifiers soon. Mahir256 (talk) 16:13, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

@Mahir256: I don't understand sentence "link to Wiktionary is error". I am on Wikidata project for long time and I know that is important to be connected to other projects. e.g. Wiktionary contain links to some databases, it's heplful to simply see it.

described at URL (P973) isn't external identifier, normal connection to web which contain information about item. That's true.

Is it ok to have these links or not? Skim (talk) 16:31, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

I would not add these links; they are not OK to have. The Wiktionary method of putting all words across all languages with the same spelling on a single page, and the Wikidata method of splitting those words into their own lexical entities, are very much at odds; it is the reason why a separate mechanism from Wikidata entities exists to maintain Wiktionary interlanguage links, and why having anything resembling sitelinks on Wikidata lexemes would be near impossible to work with. If in fact certain Wiktionary pages do have useful/helpful information on them (which will not be the case for most combinations of word language and Wiktionary language), then that information should be pulled into the lexeme directly, as I did with one of the English lexemes that had a Wiktionary link before. There's an adage out there that people should not cite Wikipedia pages as sources directly, but should instead cite the sources cited by those Wikipedia pages; this is also a way to regard Wiktionary when it comes to lexemes. Mahir256 (talk) 16:39, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

(As an aside, I also think that the Czech phrases you have been creating lexemes for would be better if we knew what they meant; I hope you are not creating them based on some list that does not provide meanings, or that you yourself could not provide meanings for them.) Mahir256 (talk) 16:06, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I know. Skim (talk) 16:13, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Species names

If you are going to create lexemes for species names based on taxon common name (P1843) statements, please also copy over the sources used on those statements. Mahir256 (talk) 16:57, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Also it would be more useful to the English speaker for the senses to have as glosses the English common names for the species such as "Campbell albatross", and for the Czech glosses to be the more generic "druh ptáka rodu Thalassarche" or whatever, rather than simply copying the English description without also adding a Czech gloss as you have done. Mahir256 (talk) 16:59, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

It is also unnecessary to produce the statement instance of (P31) species (Q7432) on the lexemes themselves; that the entity described is a species should be evident enough from the information on its item and does not need to be duplicated. Mahir256 (talk) 17:10, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Ok, I will remove instance of (P31) → species (Q7432). Thanks. Skim (talk) 17:13, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Yes, but I haven't this description. Skim (talk) 17:14, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Maybe somehow construct. Skim (talk) 17:28, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Is that so? Where then are you getting the glosses from, if not from the items themselves? Surely using the English label and the Czech description of an item as glosses would not be difficult to make happen? Mahir256 (talk) 17:29, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Czech description is simple, I could use. But it not help to English reader. Skim (talk) 17:39, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Ok, that's interesting idea. Like this amada královská (L1376956)? Skim (talk) 17:24, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Yes, that's what I meant (although the link you provided on that lexeme has a different name on it?). Mahir256 (talk) 17:29, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

ok, thanks :-) Skim (talk) 17:37, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

FYI: Plan:

• DONE Select all species (Q7432) items which are not in Lexeme from letter 'a'. All are established collocation (Q18915698)
• DONE Update Czech label in Wikidata to be in style "druh ptáka rodu Erythrura" (red-headed parrotfinch (Q776048))
• TESTED tool1: Create lexemes for all with sense which have English and Czech label and item to Wikidata. Result e.g. amada krátkoocasá (L1377504)
• tool2: Add references from Wikidata to Lexemes for the sense
• tool3: Add lexeme sense (P7018) with lexeme sense to Wikidata

Skim (talk) 09:44, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

The last "tool3" step is not necessary; it is enough that there is a link from the lexeme sense to the item. Also please ensure that there are in fact references to add before adding them (not all 'taxon common name' statements necessarily have references). Mahir256 (talk) 14:52, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

No problem.

btw: I found funny lexemes with name "agáve": agáve (L1377584), agáve (L1377585) and agáve (L1377582). Skim (talk) 14:59, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
