Welcome to Wikidata, Kitayama!
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.

Alsek River
editHi :) I saw that you've been cleaning up the pages imported from GeoNames on the Swedish Wikipedia. Could you have a look at sv:Alsek River? All three rivers on that page are the same (you can see the whole river at OSM). - Nikki (talk) 15:24, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Nikki: Fixed. I also merged the two articles about sv:Tatshenshini River. Kitayama (talk) 15:52, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks! I've deleted the unnecessary disambiguation items. - Nikki (talk) 23:20, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
Apology
editI'm extremely sorry for reverting your edits. Sorry for my faults. Thank you. --PATH SLOPU 06:39, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
Thanks, and a question...
editThank you for cleaning up these duplicates!
If I'm not mistaken, these were almost exclusively created by a single user, who would add the same entities to cebwiki? If so, maybe it would be productive to post a list at cebwiki and ask them to follow suit? --Matthias Winkelmann (talk) 04:38, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Matthias Winkelmann:The user left svwiki due to disagreements and is possibly not willing to act on requests from svwiki users, but probably the user would react on requests from other wiki projects. --Kitayama (talk) 04:44, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
- There is quite a bit of criticism on his talk page as well as scattered across thousands of talk pages across three or four wikis, and I doubt it's possible to heal his particular obsession. But I did not see the issue being explicitly and prominently raised with the cebwiki community at large. Assuming it even exists, they can't be happy with the running gag they have become. And even if that is unlikely to work, the attempt would be needed before trying to solve this even higher.
- I'll try to compile a list and launder your work :)Matthias Winkelmann (talk) 04:58, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
[WMF Board of Trustees - Call for feedback: Community Board seats] Meetings with the Wikidata community
editThe Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees is organizing a call for feedback about community selection processes between February 1 and March 14. While the Wikimedia Foundation and the movement have grown about five times in the past ten years, the Board’s structure and processes have remained basically the same. As the Board is designed today, we have a problem of capacity, performance, and lack of representation of the movement’s diversity. Our current processes to select individual volunteer and affiliate seats have some limitations. Direct elections tend to favor candidates from the leading language communities, regardless of how relevant their skills and experience might be in serving as a Board member, or contributing to the ability of the Board to perform its specific responsibilities. It is also a fact that the current processes have favored volunteers from North America and Western Europe. In the upcoming months, we need to renew three community seats and appoint three more community members in the new seats. This call for feedback is to see what processes can we all collaboratively design to promote and choose candidates that represent our movement and are prepared with the experience, skills, and insight to perform as trustees?
In this regard, two rounds of feedback meetings are being hosted to collect feedback from the Wikidata community. Two rounds are being hosted with the same agenda, to accomodate people from various time zones across the globe. We will be discussing ideas proposed by the Board and the community to address the above mentioned problems. Please sign-up according to whatever is most comfortable to you. You are welcome to participate in both as well!
- Round 1 - Feb 24, 4:00 pm UTC
- Round 2 - Mar 3, 4:00 am UTC
- Sign-up and meeting details: Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees/Call for feedback: Community Board seats/Conversations/Wikidata
Also, please share this with other volunteers who might be interested in this. Let me know if you have any questions. KCVelaga (WMF), 14:32, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
Artikelbeskrivningar
editVem har enligt dig bestämt att artikelbeskrivningar ska börja med liten bokstav? På Wikipedias egna sida om artikelbeskrivningar, se länk, så nämns det inget om att det ska börja med liten eller stor bokstav. Men i exemplet så börjar det med en stor bokstav.
Men om man har gått i skolan, så vet att en mening ska alltid börja med en stor bokstav.

- @Emilmoller8: Det är en praxis som bestämts för Wikidata oavsett språk. Det står någonstans i hjälptexterna. Vänligen följ praxis.
- Tänk också på att hålla en diskussion på en plats. Jag börjsde på din sida, då bör du även svara där (och pinga mig). Kitayama (talk) 22:10, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
- Läs och begrunda:
- 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.
- Examples:
- Label: Lionel Messi
- Description: footballer from Argentina
- This example begins with a common noun (footballer) that is not usually capitalized in the middle of a sentence, so its first letter is not capitalized here either. Argentina is a proper noun, and therefore its first letter is capitalized.
- Label: Sunflower Galaxy
- Description: spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici
- This example begins with an adjective (spiral) that is not usually capitalized in the middle of a sentence, so its first letter is not capitalized here either.
- Label: John Smith
- Description: English botanist, first curator of Kew gardens (1798–1888)
- This example begins with a demonym (English), an adjective that is always capitalized in the middle of a sentence, so the first letter is capitalized here too. Kitayama (talk) 22:13, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
Re SFFR:
editRe: Detta! Det går 2 syre på 30 kol-atomer i ena fallet, men ~3 syre på 10 kol i det andra. Det borde göra dem ganska olika, även om det kan finnas likheter i övrigt. Nej, jag är varken kemist eller biolog, men jag kan läsa en kemisk formel. Smitingen (talk) 15:02, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
