User talk:Presentime

Welcome to Wikidata, Presentime!

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! -- Bene* ^t_a^l_k 18:19, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

April 2013[edit]

Hello, I'm FrigidNinja. In case you didn't know, when you add descriptions to items, you shouldn't include articles such as "a" or "the". If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Frigid Ninja 02:00, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Gender[edit]

Hey there, thanks for your edits, for gender sex or gender (P21) when using male or female please use male (Q6581097) and female (Q6581072) many of the records you edits link to the wrong (but similarly named) properties. Jared Zimmerman (talk) 08:05, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for notifying me. I have fixed the claims that were still incorrect. Presentime (talk) 18:38, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merging species with genus[edit]

I reverted your merger because it is a species and a genus. The Wikipedia article is named after the genus but is about the species (the Wikipedia convention). On Wikidata we need both items to correctly build the taxonomic tree. Concerned items:

Thanks for all your work and all the best! --Tobias1984 (talk) 22:39, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Babel[edit]

Babel lets you view and edit more than one language on Wikidata. Just add e.g. {{#babel:de-N|en-3|es-1|fr-2|nl-3|it-4|da-0}} to your user page. With the same language codes you can add links to your userpage on Wikipedia e.g. de:User:User123. --Tobias1984 (talk) 22:39, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DNB00 items[edit]

Hi Presentime, could you please participate in this discussion about the notability of subpages? Thanks.--Micru (talk) 11:11, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sources[edit]

Hi Presentime, English Wikisource has index pages like s:Popular Science Monthly/Volume 1. Wikidata does not use them. For an article like The Recent Eclipse of the Sun (Q16062425) it is better to use published in (P1433): Popular Science (Q773087), volume (P478); 1 (see: Help:Sources). Cheers --Kolja21 (talk) 14:59, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Washington family tree[edit]

Many of the dates you added to the members of the Washington family tree are inconsistent with those in the English Wikipedia. Neither of these seem to be sourced, so I'm not sure what to do about this. I don't suppose you could add sources to those birth date/death date statements? --Yair rand (talk) 21:45, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Florence Mary Bennett[edit]

Hello. Wondering where you got the b/d dates for Florence Mary Bennett. My research came up with b. 26 May 1883; m. Louis Francis Anderson 26 June 1918; d. 10 December 1968 (Wikisource) Thanks, Londonjackbooks (talk) 01:02, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
