Welcome to Wikidata, Lcmortensen!

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!

Schools

Please be careful to check your matches, after you have matched strings in OpenRefine - eg by using OR to pull in descriptions or locations for the supposedly matched objects.

Eskdale School (Q20711411) is in fact in Yorkshire in England, not in New Zealand (despite diff).

I have created a new item for the school in New Zealand, Eskdale School (Q106077938), which you may want to extend. -- Jheald (talk) 11:40, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Also Chaucer School (Q106078246), Crawshaw School (Q106078317) and probably more -- I have just been picking up the ones in Yorkshire. Jheald (talk) 11:57, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

@Jheald: - Sorry about that. It was my first time using OpenRefine and I forgot to double-check all the matches. Lcmortensen (talk) 18:43, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

No problem. It looks as though the eight nine returned by this query https://w.wiki/37P5 https://w.wiki/37P7 might also need NZ statements moved to new items made for the NZ schools.

Or they might just need country (P17) = New Zealand (Q664) added. -- Jheald (talk) 19:33, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
