Welcome to Wikidata, Odder!

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.

Source

Is there a source for [1]? It seems logical, but many people from his region speak the Bergamasque dialect of the Lombard language. I do think "Italian" is correct, but I'd be interested in seeing a source for that. πr² (t • c) 18:36, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello. As a general note, after the w:it:Legge Casati, the elementary education was managed by the municipality on behalf of the State, whose only language is Italian, so it's safe to assume that everyone born after the Unity is an Italian language speaker. On the specific case, if he was educated/lucky enough to register patents and have other official relations with the public administration it means that he was able and had to do so in Italian and he had an Italian education. Actually, it's quite likely that at least since 1500 Italy has not had anyone, meeting our notability criteria, who was not an Italian language native speaker. ;-) --Nemo 14:20, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

I guess it's right then! I just wasn't sure and wanted to be safe. πr² (t • c) 19:00, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I think you had coordinate location (P625), not coordinates of the point of view (P1259) in mind when editing Mieszkowice (Q927669). --Zolo (talk) 11:23, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

@Zolo: Absolutely. Must have mistyped the name of the property, and autofill did the rest. Thank you for catching the error & fixing it! odder (talk) 12:17, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

vegan flag

hello. why did you exchange the vegan flag at vegan flag (Q33403901) with a version with slightly different colors? don't know whether it's your own redesign or an older design, but the colors in the version you uploaded aren't the ones from veganflag.org (#0077C8, #FFFFFF and #00B140). for now, i will revert your change, but tell me if i'm missing something. --opensofias (talk) 05:18, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

@Opensofias: I'm not exactly sure what happened there, the only reason for the edit that I can think of is the fact that File:Vegan flag.svg is a little smaller in size than File:Vegan Flag International.svg. When I created File:Vegan flag.svg, I was not aware that File:Vegan Flag International.svg existed—that's how we ended up with two files in the first place—however I'm sure you'll notice that the colour blue rendered as rgb(0, 153, 204) actually translates into hexadecimal #0099CC and the colour green rendered as rgb(0, 153, 51) translates into hexadecimal #009933 (see this RGB-to-HEX conversion tool) which are the colours I used in the file.

I can now see that these were the colours as originally announced, however VeganFlag.org currently lists different RGB values; so yes, the colours are incorrect as it stands at the moment, however they were correct when I originally created the file. I'm quite happy with File:Vegan Flag International.svg staying in place, and I'll update the other file in a moment anyway. odder (talk) 10:16, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

@odder ah okay, thanks for the clarification! :) --opensofias (talk) 18:47, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
