Welcome to Wikidata, Kelvin!
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! Cycn
Merging items
[edit]Hallo Kelvin,
For merging items, you may want to use the merge.js gadget from help page about merging. It has an option "Request deletion for extra items on RfD" to automatically place a request to delete the emptied page. This way of nominating makes it a lot easier for the admins to process the requests.

Hello, I'm Bovlb. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Q113471340 because it didn't appear constructive. Feel free to use the sandbox for test edits. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Bovlb (talk) 21:55, 8 August 2022 (UTC) --Bovlb (talk) 21:55, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
@Bovlb: OK, I have completed the data in this item (Q113471340) and it is fine. Please remove duplicate Q113471343. Thanks! Kelvin (talk) 11:22, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for following up. I added a few more claims to the item for you. Q113471343 has been redirected to Q113471340. We don't delete duplicates here, we merge them instead as it preserves history and supports external linking. Bovlb (talk) 14:55, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
