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.

- 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.
Best regards!

Jessica May Kara
[edit]
Hi, Taivo, how are you doing? A small request of favour from my favourite admin in Commons: I had made a "Category:Jessica May Kara" there, but as it was emptied of images, the cat was deleted. Now there is this image with OTRS as you can see. Is it possible to bring back (undelete) the said cat and place this file in there? Many thanks. --E4024 (talk) 01:18, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
Done and I'm really happy to see you back! Taivo (talk) 07:54, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi Taivo
[edit]How are you? I hope I did not disappoint you by leaving Cs again. One day I wish I can tell you the real reason behind the fact that you had to see me lately so frequently on a Board. As that trend would not change whatever I could do by myself, then it is best to take a recess and breath some fresh air. However, I do have a work accomplished there and I have to protect it. This is why I need your help. Of course only if you agree with me that my request is "the right thing to do". I made the item of Selena Öztaner (Q61919970) here, I made her an article for some WP, I defended her image when it was discussed to be deleted and also made her a cat. Now you may see that her name changed here, probably due to a divorce. I "imagine" the former husband got so sad or angry with the development he did not only try to eliminate his surname from her (item, image, cat, etc.), but also even from Wikidata! (See here please.) Whatever. I will not give a fight for her surname Öztaner, which I believe has been and still is her "common name". Regrettably, someone in Commons deleted "Category:Selena Öztaner" and opened a new "Category:Selena Altar". Other than the "common name" issue, this is wrong for two reasons: 1. The page history was lost! 2. Many people (like myself) know her as Selena Öztaner but now there is not even an RD from that name in Cs... Therefore, I kindly request you to please revive Category:Selena Öztaner (save the page history) and then -only then- move it to Category:Selena Altar. This way we will have a "correct RD" and people will know when this name change in Cs happened (and upon which personal development in her life) although many still know her as I do, with the surname Öztaner. Thank you very much, not only for this in advance, but for all help and comradeship I have seen from you from the very first day. --E4024 (talk) 14:40, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
Extra: (I remember like today: We began our friendship with a "discussion" about an old image of a Turkish doctor that you wanted deleted and I wanted kept, due to the Ottoman medal on her chest, remember? The only discussion against you that I won... :) --E4024 (talk) 14:40, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
- Well, I will have to, as they continue leaving messages on my TP... Thanks a lot Taivo. E4024 (talk) 00:26, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
Another soprano
[edit]Hello again Taivo. I sent you an e-mail with detailed information about the case of another Turkish soprano, Elif Göktaş, whose four-year old cat was vandalized and robbed for someone else by a newcomer (want link?) and the newly invented cat for her (while her picture in Cs was left without cats!) was deleted in an incomprehensible move, as she still has her photo there. As the only pic of the soprano stands as a candidate to deletion, within the normal one week period new picture/s of the artist will be uploaded. You can learn more about the above disruption by reading my mail, but if you i) do not have time to read, ii) read it but do not want to get involved, iii) do not want to help me any more, please just say so. In the last case I will not disturb you again, and my appreciation towards you will stay as high as before. Take my word for it. Best. --E4024 (talk) 19:11, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
