Welcome to Wikidata, Vanderwaalforces!

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.

[edit]

Hello, I'm Dorades. In case you didn't know, descriptions begin with a lowercase letter except when uppercase would normally be required or expected. Essentially, you should pretend that the description is appearing in the middle of a normal sentence, and then follow normal language rules. Most terms would not be capitalized if they appeared in the middle of a sentence. However terms such as proper nouns (e.g. the names of specific people, specific places, and specific titles) should be capitalized. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!  Dorades (talk) 21:54, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Dorades, thank you so much for informing me of this, it is greatly appreciated. I’ll keep that in mind. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 22:01, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The values for Google Knowledge Graph ID (P2671) that you added apparently don't work. Please check and correct the wrong ones. Thank you, Dorades (talk) 21:57, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it’s GKG, and things evolve, in the sense that IDs do change. That is something that is sure. I also fixed some IDs that were added by other users that are no longer working. Sometimes when google merge two or more IDs, some are bound to become blank, that is, containing no entity.
It is not the fault of any user but Google KG team. Regards, Vanderwaalforces (talk) 22:03, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is not about blaming you. I've just came across one of the knowledge graphs you added ([1]) and it doesn't give any results. I've checked another one you added ([2]) a month ago and it also gives zero results. Please make sure to correct the ones that don't work. Thank you, --Dorades (talk) 22:28, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thanks. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 22:31, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
