User talk:Frank Robertson

Welcome to Wikidata, Frank Robertson!

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! Emw (talk) 18:16, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Labels of properties[edit]

Hi Frank,

I appreciate your enthusiasm for the project, but I'm not sure if a good way to go about is to change all property labels in the first week of your participation. Property labels have evolved over time and are translated in many languages. For merely contributing data, their specific wording shouldn't bother you. --- Jura 14:38, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jura, I appreciate your enthusiasm for the project, but I'm sure it is not a good way to keep errors or inconsistencies only because they exist longer than a user's account. Maybe you can comment at Property talk:P1636#Baptism part of birth or death, why you reverted my edit. Frank Robertson (talk) 14:54, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reason why you have been changing the labels for date properties, e.g. start date to start time? Have you gained some consensus for these changes? Danrok (talk) 11:40, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nominating properties for deletion[edit]

Hey Frank Robertson. When nominating a property for deletion, please put the template {{Property for deletion}} at the discussion page of the affected property and please notify the property proposer as well as the property creator about your action. This steps are part of the guidlines which are stated at the top of WD:PFD. --Pasleim (talk) 21:04, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nächste Runde?[edit]

Muss das wirklich sein? --Succu (talk) 21:44, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please reveal yourself[edit]

Hi Frank Robertson, did you also edit on this project with another account prior to registering this account? If so, what's the account name? Multichill (talk) 03:25, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked as a sockpuppet[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely for using this account as an illegitimate alternate account of Andrea Shan, as confirmed by CheckUser. Since you did not declare this account when asked by Multichill above to do so, it is hence illegitimate as it deceived the community. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest it by editing this page and adding the following template with a suitable reason: {{unblock|1=<the reason for your unblock request>}}. If you are logged in, and the option has not been disabled, you may also email the blocking administrator (or any administrator from this list) by using this form. See Wikidata:Guide to appealing blocks for more information.
