Hi Salgo60!

It's nice of you to create new names. Please be so kind and fill in at least these three properties, it will save the other Wikidata contributors a lot of work:

• For names in Latin script:

1. instance of (P31) (use "family name (Q101352)", "male given name (Q12308941)" or "female given name (Q11879590)")
2. writing system (P282) (use "Latin script (Q8229)")
3. native label (P1705) (use allways "mul" for the language specification; specific language specifications require a reference)

Tip: The easiest way would be to use the script from User:Bargioni, see: User:Bargioni/QuickNames

Note: Arabic, Chinese, Greek, Japanese, Korean, Russian names, etc. must be created in their original script. User:Bargioni's tool is not suitable for this.

• For persons of Russian, Ukrainian, Serbian origin etc., and other countries with Cyrillic writing system, create the name in Cyrillic script:

1. instance of (P31) (use "family name (Q101352)", "male given name (Q12308941)" or "female given name (Q11879590)")
2. writing system (P282) (use "Cyrillic script (Q8209)")
3. native label (P1705) (use allways "mul" for the language specification; specific language specifications require a reference)

Note: The transliteration from e.g. Russian (Q7737)/Ukrainian (Q8798)/Serbian (Q9299) etc. to English (Q1860), French (Q150), German (Q188) and various other languages is different.

For more information please see this page: Wikidata:WikiProject Names/Properties.

I wish you continued happy work on Wikidata. Best regards, ~~~~

Thanks

I am trying to get the "Swedish Authority" on names ISOF involved see in Swedish #142.

Question do you now know any other countries name authorities or researchers doing "same as" Wikidata for names... ?

In most cases, the records are created by bots from their lists.

Thanks for a good script. A question a name like Anne-Marie von Essen (Q97971220) how do you add it? Split Anne Maria in 2 items or a combined is there a best practice?

Anne-Marie is in that case a hyphenated given name (Q83080356) and is not split into two parts. It is treated as a single first name. The same applies to "von Essen". The "von" is a name component of a family name and also belongs together. For examples, see "Anne-Marie (Q18091413)" and "von Pappenheim (Q118539375)".
