Welcome to Wikidata, Jasper Deng!

Wikidata is a free knowledge base that you can edit! It can be read and edited by humans and machines alike, and you can help. Go to any item page now and add to this ever-growing database!
Need some help getting started? Here are some pages you can familarise yourself with:

• Wikidata:About - About the project.
• Wikidata:Introduction - Another introduction to the project.
• Help:Contents - The main help portal for editing and using the site.
• Wikidata:Project chat - Discussions about the project.

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.

Sorry for my signature

Sorry if my signature offended you. I understand that canvassing is very innapropiate.

I edit my signature and delete the maximum of link.

thanks for you're remark. --Jitrixis (talk) 02:33, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Interwikilinks vs. items

Hi Jasper, I'm new to Wikidata. What should I do with different items that are connected through an interwiki link? A historical society Q38750 is not the same as a yearbook Q38788 (deleted as "Duplicate: of Q38750"), published by this society. I think the best solution are two items or a kind of redirect. --87.189.121.229 02:44, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

I've restored the deleted one. The two looked similar enough based on the German. Sorry! (by the way, you're encouraged to register).--Jasper Deng (talk) 03:10, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick response! --Media watch (talk) 04:53, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

I've thanked the wrong person, so thank you for asking on bugzilla! :)

Empty item

Thanks for pointing that out, must have made it by mistake somehow. I think i't because I pressed the Enter key twice by accident while I was typing a description. I've filled the item with something else now. Thanks again for pointing it out. Del_♉sion23 (talk) 23:05, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I have thus declined the request for its deletion at WD:RFD.--Jasper Deng (talk) 23:07, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Q49907

Hi Jasper Deng, you have deleted Q49907 because you thought it is a duplicated entry with Q29416. It is not. See Wikidata:Forum#Ein Artikel, mehrere Personen (though in German) for details. Basicly Q29416 is about Alfons Kontarsky, Q49742 is about Aloys Kontarsky and Q49907 was about both of them, the siblings Alfons und Aloys Kontarsky. --Alex (talk) 10:29, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Restored. I'm not convinced we need an entry on both, though. This seems to vary based on Wikipedia language.--Jasper Deng (talk) 18:01, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

I am not sure either. I picked it up as an example where there is an article about a group of people in one language version, and one for each member in another one. There might be a lot of other cases alike (see e.g., en:Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Redirect to joint biography). And the problem might not be restricted to persons. --Alex (talk) 18:40, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

I don't know why some Wikipedias do articles on two things that are covered separately elsewhere, but this is indeed a problem, indeed not just restricted to persons.--Jasper Deng (talk) 19:44, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Well, I guess that is due to something like a “language bias”. The English Wikipedia might be an exemption (as English serves as the

lingua franca

of our days), but even there Aloys and Alfons Kontarsky are perceived as a duet, not as single persons. This is (or at least might be) different to an audience that consists mainly of German speaking people. --Alex (talk) 19:55, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Exactly. The problem is that different entries on Wikidata can't share such an article. And I don't think that if we had a single entry on both, that we could link separate articles in one language.--Jasper Deng (talk) 19:56, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Yes, at least not at this stage of Wikidata. Someday it might be possible to get the data from Q49742 and Q29416 at Q49907 (or vice versa), so that there is some connection between these entries. --Alex (talk) 20:38, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Main Page protection

Fair enough I certainly won't contest you changing the protection, but prophylactic protection of the Main Page seems like a given to me. Thanks for the note. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:45, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Barack Obama

Sorry, didn't notice Barack Obama already existed. It didn't appear in the search results. 116.203.36.34 05:41, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Special:ItemDisambiguation helps, but the existing search function is indeed very horrible. No fault of yours.--Jasper Deng (talk) 05:53, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Autopatrolling

Thanks. :)--Avocato (talk) 20:18, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks!

This is a little late but thank you for entrusting me with the autopatrolled user right. --J36miles (talk) 22:21, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Explain?

Hi Jasper--what did you mean by this edit? —Theopolisme 21:36, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

When a user is blocked and tries to submit a change to a data entry like changing a site link, a dialog box "Edit not allowed" appears. When "details" is clicked, the bare wikitext of that interface page, not the formatted message it's supposed to generate, is shown to the user. Without this edit, the first thing they'd see is the CSS/table markup, not the actual "You are currently unable to edit Wikidata" message.--Jasper Deng (talk) 22:06, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying! —Theopolisme 11:50, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Admin confirmations

Hello! We are currently in the process of confirming all of the early admins, and you are scheduled to be confirmed between 2 - 6 February 2013. Please create an entry at Wikidata:Administrators/Confirm 2013/3, and see Wikidata:Administrators/Confirm 2013 for more details. Merci et bonne journée! Ajraddatz (Talk) 03:14, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Création d'une task force Chimie

Hello, Je voulais t'annoncer la création d'une task force dédiée à la chimie Wikidata:Chemistry task force. Snipre (talk) 16:05, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Merci!--Jasper Deng (talk) 18:03, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Cape Krustenstern

I appear to have borked what should be "Cape Krusenstern National Monument" (Q5280756). I moved it on en from its original cumbersome title of "Cape Krusenstern National Monument and Archeological District" (Q2937254)and didn't realize that the second title already existed here, created the first, so now we have two. I'm not autoconfirmed so I can't move it, and in any case the first title would need to be deleted first. Not being quite sure of how things work on WD myself (obviously), can you sort it out? Acroterion (talk) 21:18, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello. As for as I know, you don't need to be autoconfirmed to rename items, as we don't use page moving for them. One problem with Wikidata is that what's multiple articles on one wiki is a single article on another.

In this particular case, you can edit the title of the latter entry. Duplicate detection is sometimes hard, but Special:ItemDisambiguation and Special:ItemByTitle are helpful. I'm not sure of exactly what you'd like here (deletion of the first one, perhaps?), but what I'd do is delete Q5280756 and replace the link(s) at Q2937254. Cheers.--Jasper Deng (talk) 23:59, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Yes, it appears that the one I created, Q5280756,should be the one that gets deleted, and then I'll edit Q2937254. I can't alter Q2937254 until Q5280756's gone - I get a conflict message. Acroterion (talk) 00:59, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Q5280756 has now been deleted, so everything should be OK now.--Jasper Deng (talk) 01:07, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, much appreciated. Acroterion (talk) 01:15, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Template:Talkback

Can you enable this template Template:Talkback for be translated? --Vivaelcelta (talk) 08:58, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

I'll take a look at doing that later today. You can also do it - follow the instructions at Template:Autotranslate.--Jasper Deng (talk) 18:30, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

A question

Hi Jasper. We have this and this pages about the same article. When I try to add Turkish interwiki to the first one, it gives me an error. Is there a way to fix it?--Rapsar (talk) 10:00, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Re:Wikidata admin confirmations

Hi! Thanks for information. Now, I have a many work in my live, that, I had decrease my activity in all wikimedia projects to april. However, I will make every effort to comply with its obligation. Best regards, Karol007 talk 18:04, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

RE: Autopatrolled and rollbacker flag

Here's an explanation of the Serbian Wikipedia, I blocked under various charges for which there is not the slightest evidence. --Kolega2357 (talk) 20:29, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

I'm going to seek others' comment on this before I make a final decision.--Jasper Deng (talk) 16:47, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Serbian Wikipedia has nothing to do with Wikidata, This is completely irrelevant to what you're doing. --Kolega2357 (talk) 18:42, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

No. It factors into whether you can be trusted with any permissions.--Jasper Deng (talk) 18:59, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

We have the right to consider your record on other WMF sites in our decision to grant you rights here. --Rschen7754 19:31, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

User page items

Why can not I be on the user pages on Wikidata? --Kolega2357 (talk) 23:10, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

It's subject of current discussion - see the project chat. The original consensus was that it would be of little/no benefit and that it's out of Wikidata's project scope.--Jasper Deng (talk) 23:11, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Commenting on talk page

Hi Jasper,

Just wondering, were you prompted to comment here? --  Docu  at 05:26, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

I had simply been watching that RfD, and I knew you would protest the deletion. Why do you ask?--Jasper Deng (talk) 05:31, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
