User talk:87lieven
Welcome to Wikidata, 87lieven!
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 items[edit]
Hallo 87lieven,
For merging items, you may want to use the merge.js gadget from help page about merging. It has an option "Request deletion for extra items on RfD" to automatically place a request to delete the empytied page. This way of nominating makes it a lot easier for the admins to process the requests.
With regards, -

Golf in Sierra Leone[edit]
Hi Lieven,
It looks like you tried to reuse Q15405260 for something else. It's better not to do that. as the item would have a history refering to something unrelated and items can have external sites linking to it. If there is no items available you can add the entry to you can either wait for a bot to add the item automatically by scanning the local wikis for unlisted items, or just create a new item. - - (Cycn/talk) 07:48, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
