User talk:Fallaner

Welcome to Wikidata, Pnapora!

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.

Covid cases and death numbers

Some of your recent entries have dates at the end of June (in the future). I'm assuming these should be end of May, but don't want to change anything without checking. Jts1882 (talk) 13:36, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Wikisource

Thank you for your work in maintaining Wikidata. I have a small suggestion to improve your future work. If you notice that two items are duplicates, please merge them instead of blanking one of them as you did with the item Q50385867. External sites use Wikidata identifiers, so it is important that we preserve the chain of references. We do this by making one item a redirect for the other. In particular, item ids are intended to be a permanent identifier, so we never reuse them for another concept. See Help:Merge for more information on how to merge items, and consider installing the Merge Gadget. Thanks! —Eihel (talk) 22:20, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

@Eihel There is major problem that our revert brake link from Polish Wikisource to other projects. In present situation Book of Kohelet (as an example) is not binded with Polish Wikipedia and looks as standalone item which is wrong. More your revert make redirects with Wikidata item which is as far as I know mistake. Fallaner (talk) 15:33, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello Fallaner I did not understand everything in your message. I will try to answer here, as well as your post on my page.

1. I gave you a link to the page to understand the "Merge", have you read it? Looking at your post, I don't think so. I give you here what is written there: …These are different concepts, even if some Wikipedia articles include family names on disambiguation pages. They should remain separate as two items… This means that the different namespace pages (Categories, Templates, etc.) and List pages, Disambiguation pages, etc. have separate Items.
2. It is not uncommon to see pages for only one language. If certain projects make pages elsewhere than in the Main, on very specific subjects, they will only have a sitelink, it is logical.
3. The project pages of a language are not to be grouped together in an item. Only fully matching pages, including their concept (Disambiguation, List, Category, etc.), can be merged.

This goes for all the undos I have done on your edits recently and I think there are still other errors of the same type. Regards. —Eihel (talk) 22:04, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

I thought up today that Wikidata is project to help merge different Wikipedia project but from your editions I can see that it is technical project for itself. There much difference between articles in Wikipedia and teksts in Wikisource. But thank you for your explanations and I wish you everything best in reverting 100.000+ links between articles in Wikipedia and categories in commons. Fallaner (talk) 03:28, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello Fallaner Yes, Wikidata serves as a central storage, among other things, for structured data from sister Wikimedia projects. However, your sarcastic tone is appreciated as much as on the Wikipedia and Wikisource projects in Polish. You are not going to merge dogs and cats just because they are animals. It comes down to logic: if you go to Polish projects and put everything like category pages or disambiguation pages, you understand that it's wrong. Your last post isn't helpful, but you can start by correcting all your mistakes. In the meantime, I remain open if you need help, obviously in a good mood ! Regards. —Eihel (talk) 04:14, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

I am very sorry that you read my words as a sarcastic. But it just to emphasise that common practice is to link commons category with Wikipedia page done by many editors is approbated, and by the unknown reason is considered as an mistake in my editions [1], more wikidata bot restored this edit [2]. I think that it will easy to start bot do delink all commons categories with pages in Wikipedia projects (few days and it will be over). You as an more experienced user please explain this point to me. Rest it was just presenting impression from other projects not only Wikipedia.
