User talk:Rhudson
Welcome to Wikidata, Rhudson!
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!

I’ve noticed that you changed the description for Alfred Stingl (Q97653918) from music teacher and composer from Austria to Austrian music teacher and composer. Please explain why you wish to deviate from the guidelines set by Help:Description. --Emu (talk) 13:57, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Emu: I have actually never seen those guidelines, but thank you for sharing them. I was following common practice on displayed on countless other Wikidata items, e.g. Franz Schubert (Q7312), Ludwig van Beethoven (Q255), Leonard Bernstein (Q152505), Isaac Albéniz (Q185812), Edvard Grieg (Q80621), which replicates the common editorial practice in established authority sources such as the Grove Dictionary of Music/Grove Music online. Please see Franz Schubert (https://doi.org/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.25109), Ludwig van Beethoven (https://doi.org/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.40026), Leonard Bernstein (https://doi.org/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.A2223796), Isaac Albéniz (https://doi.org/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.00421), and Edvard Grieg (https://doi.org/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.11757). I find it to be more concise and compact.
- I would note that the guidelines state "These serve as good starting points, however you should not feel bound to them." Rhudson (talk) 14:39, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
