User talk:Idyllic press
Welcome to Wikidata, Idyllic press!
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!
Photoswitch[edit]
Hi Idyllic press. Welcome at Wikidata. Great that you joined us. However, I just reverted your edits at Photoswitch (Q5479379). Labels and descriptions are not the right place to tell that two items are the same. See Help:Merge instead for some instructions on how to do so. Normally I would have done this merge with Photoswitch (Q7187911) for you, but I don't understand either of the articles enough to tell whether this merge is justified. If you do, don't hesitate to go on. Have fun. --YMS (talk) 12:16, 22 July 2014 (UTC) PS: Same for Alcohol fuel cell (Q11850902)/direct methanol fuel cell (Q901910), while for battery hydrometer (Q11850379), adding a subsection of an article to the Wikidata sitelinks is not possible. --YMS (talk) 12:34, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
- @YMS: Thanks for reverting. After 3 of them the link attempts it thing seemed less and less like I remember it working, then I saw the other section lower and was going to add them there but not sure how to remove the incorrect stuff. The subsection thing was just wishfull thinking, I remember reading once before that it would not work but it seemed to accept it, I will try and add in the inline language links to The Battery Hygrometer when I have time to concentrate.
- The Direct Alcohol Fuel Cell pages are a close match but not exact.
- I will have a closer look and see how to make the correct links. It is suprising to me that there re a large number of technology pages that are not already in all the languages. A photo switch (daylight switch) is commmon in all industialised countries but not described in many languages on the wiki.
