User talk:RickRichards

Welcome to Wikidata, RickRichards!

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.

Merging items

Hallo Rick,
When you (want to) merge items, you may want to use the merge.js gadget from help page about merging. It helps with merging and removes the need to file a request on Wikidata:Requests for deletions.

Gábor Svajczer (Q124877252)

Hey, thanks for creating item Gábor Svajczer (Q124877252). I noticed based on the matching birth and death dates that it is the same person as Gábor Svajczer (Q19826354). Since both items have Commons category sitelinks I cannot merge them, so I marked the first mentioned item as a duplicate of the latter and copied all statements to it. I'm not sure which language version we should use as the label in English since the Hungarian Wikipedia article claims that he was Hungarian meanwhile your article says he was Slovak. But maybe you could look into that and change the labels if needed? Kind regards, Samoasambia ✎ 01:39, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

@Samoasambia: Hey, thank you for pointing this out. I've totally missed the older wikidata item. I've merged newer item with the older one, so that's out of the way, and proposed deletion/merger for newer Commons category with the older one. I hope that it will be quickly resolved too..
