Dear Aleksandra (good wishes for the new year, by the way); as you created your first objects two or three little tips:

  • always try to reference objects on Wikidata. The cool thing about the Wikidata-match is that it makes it impossible to create the same object a second time.
  • alternative spellings can be noted under "Alias" (which I will do for "David Cassius"/"Dawid Cassius" in a second),
  • give places with geographic coordinates (which you can just take from Wikidata) - so that they appear on maps,

As you might need more places from Slovakia - I will put them ion my list for January, so that no one has to create them one by one. (I guess Ukraine and the Baltic states are as useful... I put them all on my list. Let me know of bigger datasets you could all use, and I'll think about creating them as bigger data-inputs to save time. New fields are always time consuming in the beginning. --Olaf Simons (talk) 19:25, 1 January 2024 (CET)

...without more background data, but probably useful in more of our contexts

New Tip: Batch fragments

The menu offers you a page of so called Batch fragments - they are especially useful for repetitive tasks like creating (Polish) family names (the machine has to learn in this field, I regret). You take the fragment, paste it into QuickStatements, exchange the #-signs and run the batch as Version2 CSV input. If you have a list of unknown names you can also run hundreds of them in one go with the help of the batch. I can also write you a batch to create people, if you know the statements they all need. --Olaf Simons (talk) 17:02, 16 January 2024 (CET)
