User talk:Osiris

Welcome to Wikidata, Osiris!

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.

Thank you very much, Littledogboy! :)

Also thought you might find Wikidata:Tools#Merge useful... Littledogboy (talk) 15:21, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Just tried it out. Anything that reduces the amount of clicks I have to make is very helpful! I don't normally read the updates here, so thank you for the tip! Osiris (talk) 21:22, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Also makes it easy for admins to delete empty items you leave behind. Btw, are you a native simple English speaker? Littledogboy (talk) 12:50, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

I don't think so. ;P I haven't studied it if that's what you mean. Osiris (talk) 21:26, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

All I'm saying writing simply is rather hard. It's a bit of a far shot, but I'm looking for someone to help a little. There is confusion around articles en:lawyer, en:jurist and their interwikis (other language pages linked to them). I noticed that enwiki and simple articles differ. Is my overview at Wikidata:Interwiki conflicts#Advocate/lawyer correct? Littledogboy (talk) 11:35, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Hm. Let me ask on the village pump at simplewiki. There's usually somebody willing to help sort out those kinds of matters. I myself have little knowledge about the differences between legal professions. I'll get back to you with some answers shortly. Osiris (talk) 03:07, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ The simplewiki version (w:simple:Lawyer) has been altered now to mirror the enwiki version more closely. Take a look and confirm for yourself, though, and let me know whether than solves the conflict on our end or whether there's something else I should do. Osiris (talk) 12:52, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

I am amazed by the workings of simple! Thanks, I will be bold and sort out the rest myself. Best, Littledogboy (talk) 12:28, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks

Yeah, I keep forgetting to add my new simplewiki pages to Wikidata. Thanks for getting 'em for me. TCN7JM 23:36, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you :)

Thank you for going through my newly created Simple English Wikipedia articles and looking for interwiki links. It is very much appreciated. :) (One day, I hope to get all the Spanish Paralympic medalists articles created and then on to English Wikipedia.) --LauraHale (talk) 17:32, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Oh no problem, Laura! They are fun to find, especially on some of the small Hispanic wikis. Osiris (talk) 20:31, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

I have been asking some of the Wikipedia's involving Spain's minority languages to write about Paralympians from areas where the language is spoken. :) It has been very cool to see this, with interwiki links on Simple English Wikipedia to Galacian, Basque and Aragonese Wikipedias showing up with no other interwiki links. :) The simple English part seems like it would be easier for non-native English speakers to translate, and the short stubs making it easier to translate. (Plus, more potential articles.) And yeah, great to see. :) Thanks very much for the help. If you notice I am missing an accent in the name, please do move the article on Simple English Wikipedia. My database of medalists does not include those. :( --LauraHale (talk) 06:20, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Oh sure, I can do that. No problem! I think it's a great project you've got going, and I'm glad you've chosen simplewiki to work with. It gives us great visibility! Osiris (talk) 01:39, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Little Iodine

Just FYI, I removed the SimpleWiki link you added to Little Iodine (Q6650423) because it wasn't a match. The enwiki article is about the comic strip, but the simplewiki article is about the movie. --Auntof6 (talk) 20:57, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Oh, thanks. I'll have to rework the article. Osiris (talk) 01:01, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

I've edited the article to look a bit more like the English Wikipedia's version now. Osiris (talk) 02:37, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
