User talk:Ixocactus

Welcome to Wikidata, Ixocactus!

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.

Duplicated items[edit]

Almost all PubMed entries have an item, so please do not create duplicated ones. In addition, please convert all DOIs to upper cases (see [1]).--GZWDer (talk) 09:42, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Call for participation in the interview study with Wikidata editors[edit]

Dear Ixocactus,

I hope you are doing good,

I am Kholoud, a researcher at King’s College London, and I work on a project as part of my PhD research that develops a personalized recommendation system to suggest Wikidata items for the editors based on their interests and preferences. I am collaborating on this project with Elena Simperl and Miaojing Shi.

I would love to talk with you to know about your current ways to choose the items you work on in Wikidata and understand the factors that might influence such a decision. Your cooperation will give us valuable insights into building a recommender system that can help improve your editing experience.

Participation is completely voluntary. You have the option to withdraw at any time. Your data will be processed under the terms of UK data protection law (including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018). The information and data that you provide will remain confidential; it will only be stored on the password-protected computer of the researchers. We will use the results anonymized to provide insights into the practices of the editors in item selection processes for editing and publish the results of the study to a research venue. If you decide to take part, we will ask you to sign a consent form, and you will be given a copy of this consent form to keep.

If you’re interested in participating and have 15-20 minutes to chat (I promise to keep the time!), please either contact me at kholoudsaa@gmail.com or kholoud.alghamdi@kcl.ac.uk or use this form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdmmFHaiB20nK14wrQJgfrA18PtmdagyeRib3xGtvzkdn3Lgw/viewform?usp=sf_link with your choice of the times that work for you.

I’ll follow up with you to figure out what method is the best way for us to connect.

Please contact me if you have any questions or require more information about this project.

Thank you for considering taking part in this research.

Regards

Hi @User:Bluerasberry!! Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts on WikidataCon! I was lost on the several rooms and missed the first part of your session, that I will see on a next moment. No thanks. You makes a wonderful work. Cheers!!! Ixocactus (talk) 22:38, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. I loved your cat ears! 😺 Ixocactus (talk) 22:45, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Younger Dryas impact hypothesis[edit]

Hi Ixocactus! Thanks for your edits to the items covered by Wikiproject YDIH. Please consider adding yourself to the list of participants, especially if you plan on adding more items to its remit. Thanks! Aluxosm (talk) 01:40, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Aluxosm: No, thanks. I like pseudosciences but try to keep myself off a respectable distance of fringe topics. Thanks for correcting some of my mistakes. I revised your 20 reversions. Most sounds good, except for the removal of sources which criticizes the claims of the infamous "Sodoma paper", as I stated in the respective discussion. Thanks. Ixocactus (talk) 04:18, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Just in case there was any doubt, I did not remove those sources because they criticised the paper, but only for the reasons I gave in my reply on the talk page. All of those sources are still referenced to the paper and can be viewed with tools like Scholia. Thanks again! Aluxosm (talk) 12:25, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

G M A Cançado[edit]

Hi Ixo,

I've matched a few publications to Geraldo M A Cançado . Are they correct?-- U. M. Owen (talk) 21:51, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @U. M. Owen. Sounds good. Ixocactus (talk) 13:45, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
