Welcome to Wikidata, Edgars2007!

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! --Stryn (talk) 08:19, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

False edits

You created some new items and changed some GND values (P:P107) but P107 only allows the values listed here: Property_talk:P107#Table. You should redo your edits and mark your items on WD:RFD for deletion. --Sk!d (talk) 07:34, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Algādzis

Hi! What do you think about move Q20803889 to farmworker (Q5060555) (farmworker/батрак)? --Voll (talk) 12:31, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Sveiks! Nezinu, nav noteikta viedokļa. Q20803889 pašlaik izskatās pēc raksta par vēsturisko amatu. Spiežot pēc šī un šī (nosaukuma vāciski) drīzāk varētu day labourer (Q897359). --Edgars2007 (talk) 12:40, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

OK. I will move our conversation to Q20803889 talk page. Sometime will check it. --Voll (talk) 12:53, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Yet another question. I see you created new items for Kvadrātcentimetrs, Kvadrātmilimetrs, Āraišu ezerpils. But I find (by search) items for it (with or without english pages). Please search name before creating. And yes, I did such errors too. :-{ We can fix it later of course, but why do it twice? ;-) --Voll (talk) 12:53, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

My excuse for Āraiši: this edit :) --Edgars2007 (talk) 13:02, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Latvijas pilsoņi

Sveiks! Apskati šo, lielākā daļa no taviem importiem. --Papuass (talk) 15:01, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Un tas ir tikai tiem, kam norādīti dzīves dati :D Man jau sākumā likās, ka nebūs labi, vismaz labi, ka ātri beidzu ar cilvēkiem ņemties, pievērsos objektiem. Gribēju kā labāk (sasaistīt visu ko vien var ar Latviju), bet iznāca kā vienmēr. --Edgars2007 (talk) 16:42, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Nav jau galīgi nepareizi, salabot to varēs vienmēr :) --Papuass (talk) 08:14, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Bulk deletions

You added several entries for pages deleted on lvwiki. Based on the timestap, you didn't request the deletion at the time of deletion at lvwiki, but afterwards all one by one. Since these requests all take up space on the page, we have a template for bulk deletion requests, which suits perfect for your requests (since they all have the same delete reason.) The template is on WD:RfD. Mbch331 (talk) 12:20, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

@Mbch331: sorry and thanks! --Edgars2007 (talk) 13:15, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

No need to say sorry. We're here to help eachother. Mbch331 (talk) 13:20, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

"Gridiron football player"

Hey, Edgars. I see that you are adding this property to American football players who are already classified as an "American football player." As such, is not adding the parent property redundant? Moreover, no one in the United States refers to American football players as a "Gridiron football player"; it represents an artificial usage that amalgamates players of American football and Canadian football. It is also a phrase that is foreign to most Americans, and represents a misnomer when the more appropriate "American football player" claim is available. Frankly, 90%+ of the present claims for "Gridiron football player" should be replaced "American football player". Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 18:29, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

S*. Didn't notice we have American football player (Q19204627) :D Took a look at Tom Brady (Q313381) who had occupation (P106)=gridiron football player (Q14128148) and didn't do deeper reasearch. OK, will stop and start to categorise as American football player (Q19204627). Sorry. --Edgars2007 (talk) 18:48, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

No need to apologize, we all learn as we go! Just glad we're on the same page. Cheers. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:21, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
