Welcome

Hi Francesco,

just a brief welcome also on this site. You have managed the first QuickStatement input; it seems you know how to run this. For compatibility reasons it would be good if we could use the same label conventions - where we have adopted those of Wikidata again for the sake of compatibility. The hard core information of given names and family names is in the name statements anyway. Item:Q1308 gives you insight of how we have been organising things. And: Let me know if I can help with clues how to do things. Preparing the input will be the terrible work (especially where family names have to be first generated, where places are missing - or where they have to be matched...) We will get a tool to do this: OpenRefine; that, however, does not yet work on external Wikibases; they are working on the adaptation. I organise mappings of data (e.g. matching place names) on Excel, not ideal but one can do. You might know better ways. --Olaf Simons (talk) 11:08, 31 January 2020 (CET)
