Welcome to Wikidata, 90.242.180.180!
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:
- Wikidata:Introduction — An introduction to the project.
- Help:Contents — The main help portal for editing and using the site.
- Wikidata:Project chat — Discussions about the project.
- Wikidata:Tools — A collection of user-developed JavaScript tools to allow for easier completion of some tasks.
You are welcome to continue editing without logging in, but you may want to consider creating an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits. If you edit without a username, your IP address (90.242.180.180) is used to identify you instead. 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.
Best regards!

Names of royals
[edit]Please note that the names of historical people are traditionally spelled differently in different languages. The wikidata labels should reflect this. Hjart (talk) 09:43, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
- Even in the United Kingdom, he was referred as ‘Prince Friedrich of Württemberg‘ as shown here (https://www.rct.uk/collection/2908130/prince-friedrich-of-wuumlrttemberg-1808-1870), his name on wikidata should only be ‘Frederick’ if that was his legal name, look at Wilhelm II of Germany, his name was not William or Willem or Vidi or Guillaume
- Please see i.e. en:Prince Frederick of Württemberg. The wikidata labels should generally reflect the associated wikepedia articles. --Hjart (talk) 11:03, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
- Fact is that the names of nobles have historically been spelled differently in different languages. This should not be ignored.--Hjart (talk) 11:12, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
- It does not matter that you think that "English can not anglicise someone’s name". Fact is that they did it.--Hjart (talk) 11:27, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
It’s not about what I think, the general consensus is that Anglicisation of someone’s legal name is not accepted, especially in instances where it is their LEGAL NAME…his legal name was Friedrich and not Frederick, this is something you nor I get to choose or decide
