Welcome to Wikidata, Hofoen!

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, please ask me on my talk page. 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.

Thanks for the fantastic work you've been doing on railway lines, both here and at OSM.

I've made some changes to ALL and ALW (South Alloa Junction to Longcarse Junction (Q113688176) and Longcarse Branch (Q113688123)) beyond Longcarse Junction (Q106041594) -- cf map query tinyurl.com/ye2662p9

It looks to me that ALW is the short line from Longcarse Junction (Q106041594) to Alloa West Junction (Q124570578), which matches the information on the ALW data page, whereas I think ALL ran through to Alloa goods station (Q15179493) which I think corresponds to "South Alloa (later goods depot, formerly A.)" on the ALL data page. This would fit with the tendency for ELR sections to often follow the original line ownership, ie Caledonian vs North British as per File:Alloa & Stirling RJD 116.jpg, and also the mileages look about right.

It still leaves the mysterious claimed "junctions with the North British Railway" on the ALL page before and after the goods station rather unclear, though there maybe is a connection visible on the 1900 OS map beyond the station, though not directly to SAA (Stirling and Alloa Branch (Q113659046)).

I've made changes to Wikidata accordingly. I've adjusted OSM a little bit, removing what I think is the ALW section from ALL; but I wasn't confident enough OSM editor to create an ALW object to assign that bit of former track to, nor to extend ALL to the site of the former goods station; so I would be very grateful if you could put that in place, if you think this understanding is correct.

Thanks again for all that you are doing. Best regards, Jheald (talk) 13:48, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your appreciation. This is my typical winter project. I really like your SPARQL query - this is fantastic. I do similar visualizations with OSM. I have added all your suggestions to OSM - they all sound plausible - and I have updated my page accordingly. When it gets cold outside again, I will resume my work on British railway lines. If you need further assistance in editing OSM, do not hesitate to contact me.

Hallo Hofoen, du hattest bei Wikidata das Göttingen Gbf Nord (Q124153746) angelegt und auch bei OSM eingetragen. An den angegebenen Koordinaten kann ich bei OSM aber überhaupt nichts entdecken, was auf einen Güterbahnhof hindeutet, es scheint freie Strecke zu sein. Was ist da los?! -- Gerd Fahrenhorst (Diskussion) 11:09, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Na was machen wir denn nun? Wikidata-Objekt auf Betriebsstelle oder Bahnanlage ändern? -- Gerd Fahrenhorst (Diskussion) 12:42, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Hallo Gerd, ich habe mir den Fall mal genauer angeschaut. Es ist auf jeden Fall eine aktuelle Betriebsstelle der Bahn, eine sogenannte Einfahrgruppe für einen Rangierbahnhof (s. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangierbahnhof#Gesamtanordnung). Habe wikidata und osm angepasst.

ok, danke

At Nelson Block (Q125420972): Fairhaven is not an administrative entity, and hasn't been for over a century. I've edited accordingly. - Jmabel (talk) 18:23, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

When entering coordinates into the coordinate location (P625) field, as you did here, please round them to the nearest arcsecond (Q829073), lest you create false precision (Q3467464). Thanks, ~~~~

Thanks for advice, I will integrate rounding into my workflow.

Dear Hofoen,

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 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

Please unmerge this item Q8017526, the have several duplicate ex-ids, so there are probably different items.

You have created three different items at this location (Q111997642, Q8017526, Q111150422). Q8017526 and Q111150422 represent the "Grand Hyatt Dubai". Q111997642 seems to represent a different hotel unit in the same building (Grand Hyatt Residence).

I reverted the merge of all three items and remerged Q8017526 and Q111150422.

Thanks for your work, I know it's quite confusing!

Hi, I just created Rodrick Bridge (Q122364687) from Rodrick Bridge (Q1294989). The second one was a disambiguation page. You should not change the purpose of a item.

Hallo Hofien, du hattest Lehrte–Cuxhaven railway (Q110548258) und Q240059 editiert und dabei die längere Strecke als Teil der kürzeren definiert. War das ein Versehen oder hast du dir etwas dabei gedacht?

Hallo Gerd,

irgendwie überlappen sich beide Strecken nur teilweise. Lehrte-Cuxhaven ist zwar länger, dafür enthält die andere zusätzlich noch die Strecken 1153, 1281 und 1280. Aber anders herum ist wohl passender. Ich werde es umdrehen.
