Welcome to Wikidata, Bernice Heiderman!

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.

Hi! You merged two elements:

• 1: is a television channel launched in 2009 (1)
• 2: is a TV show that started in 1995 (2

Can you tell me why you merged it? Pallor (talk) 23:16, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pallor: Hi, I must have been mistaken.--Bernice Heiderman (talk) 08:08, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You merged these two elements:

• An unskilled worker working in any sector of agriculture (e.g. forestry, animal husbandry, fishing, etc.) (1)
• A worker working in cultivation (plant cultivation) (e.g. cotton picking worker) (2)

Can you fix it? Thanks Pallor (talk) 09:38, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pallor: In which language is the problem? BTW: Have you mixed up (1) and (2)?

I will unmerge them but move all occurrences of the generic farm worker like farm hand and lavoratore to agricultural worker (Q19261760).

Maybe you could note crop production (Q9366924) at crop production worker (Q110002200)?

What do you mean which language is the problem? It's not even the same label in English. But it is not the same in Slovenian, Belarusian, Catalan, Italian and Russian. The label is different in six languages, but you merged it anyway. What you did is logically so wrong, what for example merging the element of the SUN with the element of the SOLAR SYSTEM, because one is a part of the other, but at the same time they are completely different.

I wanted to point out that you are being too superficial with the amalgamation, even though only good intentions can cause amazing damage. If you merge two elements incorrectly, the link will change in all elements that refer to them. If some time passes, there is no living person who can sort out from where and to which element the link pointed. But I'm showing you another error caused by superficial editing: today you revoked my edit, which made the Hungarian description of this element: Auto Motor Sport, and the German one: Motor Presse TV. Before you touched it, it was completely uniform. Do you think your edit helped clarify the situation now? I do not think so.

So please pay more attention, use google translate, or ask on native language forums if you don't understand what is written there. It's much less unpleasant than combining two elements incorrectly.

Can you correct what I asked? Pallor (talk) 21:43, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

PS: is there a particular reason why you didn't write the language competences on your user page? It would be useful.

@Pallor: I've ventured (as you called it superficially) into farm worker while trying to separate agronomist (Q1781198) and agricultural scientist (Q126368762). From the structure of 19th and early 20th century agriculture agricultural worker (Q19261760) were usually not needed for milking thus have been crop production worker (Q110002200) in practice. I've went from Danish landbrugsmedarbejder and the English synonyms which supported a merge.

What is still wrong according to you?--Bernice Heiderman (talk) 21:54, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for fixing it! Pallor (talk) 22:06, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting correct short descriptions like here is vandalism.-- Maxeto0910 (talk) 12:34, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Maxeto0910: Please discuss this on the talk page of Q55155641. According to English and German Wikipedia it refers to any Q118371929 and not just YouTubers, which I have corrected.--Bernice Heiderman (talk) 12:40, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
