Welcome to Wikidata, Qaswa!
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.

Alexandru items[edit]
Hello, i reverted your merge of Alexandru (Q17501703) (given name) into Q4721085 (disambiguation).
- please see Special:WhatLinksHere/Q17501703: the given name item is used by other items = people items which make use of given name (P735).
- on Wikidata items are specific, like Wikipedias make a difference between disambiguation pages and articles, so please do not mix up disambiguation items and name items, see Wikidata:WikiProject Disambiguation pages/guidelines.
What i changed (following your enhancement – thank you! – of the dewiki page from a disambiguation to a name article), is that i moved the dewiki link without using the merge function, so now the rowiki link (which still is a disambiguation) is kept separate at the older item. Hope this helps understanding Wikidata. Holger1959 (talk) 03:25, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks for your help! It isn't easy always to understand the handling of wikidata. Greetings, Qaswa (talk) 14:34, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
- Hi. Six years have passed and still the same mistake(s): Why did you merge a disam page (EN:WP) and a surname entry (TR and DE WPs) under Çam (Q19312191)? Merging is easy but it is difficult to remake entries. Please stop this attitude. Have a good year. --E4024 (talk) 22:43, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
- Hi back. I only merged the tr:article (a family name like the German one), but the problem became the English article when I changed the German article from a disam page to a family name. So I actually did nothing wrong, but I didn't remove the English disam page. greetings, Qaswa (talk) 22:50, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for removing the English disam page ! And have a good (better?) year, too. Qaswa (talk) 22:55, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
- I did not remove the English disam page; I made it "again". The reason is a "family name" item is linked from many people items. Therefore I first made the surname item and then the disam item. I do not know why you used an exclamation mark; I take it as a signal of "sorry, I caused you work". Best. --E4024 (talk) 23:30, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
- Ok, take it this way. (If I always wrote when I'm working for another one ....) Qaswa (talk) 23:38, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
