User talk:Lee

Welcome to Wikidata, Lee!

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!

Bonvenon al Wikidata! – Welcome to Wikidata![edit]

Welcome Lee! You may add some help tools to user:Lee/common.js . Please see User:Rotsaert8000 (in Esperanto), Wikidata:Tools, and Wikidata:Tools/User scripts. On the user:i18n-page you will see all WD gadget links. It takes time to see what fits most of your interests. Good luck gangLeri לערי ריינהארט (talk) 23:08, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merging items[edit]

Hallo Lee,

If you were not already using it, you may want to check out the merge.js gadget for merging items. It has an option "Request deletion for extra items on RfD" to automatically nominate the page you are merging from for deletion. This way of nominating also makes it easier for the admins to process such requests. For support and other options you can check the help page about merging.

With regards, - cycŋ - (talk • contribs • logs) 07:50, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip. --Lee (talk) 08:20, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

about merge[edit]

Hi, Lee. Thanks for your contributions. When you remove links from an item and add them to anther item, if the removal leaves one item without any link (e.g. your edit on Q19738557 and edit on Q8242), then please consider directly merging the items, not deleting and adding the same link. For how to merge automatically, please see Help:Merge#Automatic merge. Hope that is helpful. Best regards. --Neo-Jay (talk) 13:40, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Neo-Jay, I wasn't aware of this. I'll try it on the next change. --Lee (talk) 14:32, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! --Neo-Jay (talk) 22:37, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merging potentially identical pages on siwiki[edit]

Hi Lee! In performing some maintenance around here I found some siwiki pages that might be duplicates of each other. Since I don't speak Sinhala, it would be great if you could merge each pair of pages (or, if you don't merge a certain pair, explain why they shouldn't be merged). Mahir256 (talk) 19:15, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Mahir256: I will need sometime on this since I am also not aware of the correct term to be used. But these represent the same page, so can be merged. What the end result will be needs to be further verified. --Lee (talk) 03:41, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Rehman: any thoughts on the right term in this case? Or do you know anyone else who may be able to resolve this in one way or another? Mahir256 (talk) 17:34, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Mahir256. Thank you for spotting this. These are obvious duplicates, and hence I went ahead and redirected ජුනි → ජූනි. The corresponding Wikidata items should ideally be deleted, or alternatively, merged into the currently used Wikidata items. Let me know if you need any help. I am currently travelling, hence my response may be slow. Cheers, Reh man 11:41, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again, Mahir256. The wikidata entries have been merged. Cheers, Reh man 06:55, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Translation request[edit]

Hello.

Can you create en:Baku State University and en:Science and technology in Azerbaijan in Sinhalese Wikipedia?

Yours sincerely, Saguamundi (talk) 20:21, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, this request looks too much like a spam to me. --Lee (talk) 07:35, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Q19698893 and Q19735784[edit]

Hallo Lee, I see that you speak Sinhala. Can you help me with trading business (Handelsgewerbe) (Q19698893) and trading business (Handelsgewerbe) (Q19735784)? Both have a sitelink for Sinhala Wikipedia but the former redirects to the latter. So they should probably be merged. Is the article about business (Q4830453)? Then they can be merged too. --Pyfisch (talk) 12:44, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The last one should be the correct article. Made the other two redirects. Hope I did it correct. --Lee (talk) 16:36, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me. Thanks for your help! --Pyfisch (talk) 19:05, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You did all the hard work and I am getting the thanks. Thanks for the analysis and the detailed report. All I did was following the lead. I hope you continue to have this energy for a long time. *bows deeply* --Lee (talk) 00:18, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Q5296#Talking about Wiktionaries[edit]

You may be interested in this section because, as far as I know, the si.wiktionary (which you're an administrator of that) mainpage wikt:si:මුල් පිටුව is located at Main namespace, to which our policy said that Main namespace pages of Wiktionaries are not allowed for normal linking. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 11:46, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads-up. But only interface admins can do this; right?--Lee (talk) 12:03, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, if you think doing so is appropriate, you may ask your community, and when consensus get, request at m:SRP#Interface administrator access, make sure you understand, and enable the 2FA when requesting. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 13:11, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
