How to correct Wikidata [closed]

Question

I have been improving the profile of Florence Bell https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Olliffe-55 And this has produced several Suggestions from two wrong facts on Wikidata, which seem to originate in a German Wikipedia article: wrong birth/baptism date and confusion of mother/step-mother. I have added references and tweaks to the English Wikipedia article. How should I fix the Wikidata?

Answer 1

I have now corrected Wikidata. They have very easy to use pop-up tutorials in a sandbox, so providing one is clear about making very very basic statements with only Item/Subject, Predicate, and Object (RDF triples for techies), it is straightforward, but tedious, for humans.

Hi Chris,

See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Wikidata and https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Wikidata#You_do_not_need_to_edit_anything_on_Wikidata in particular. This might not answer your question if you do want to edit Wikidata directly.

Thanks Chris W

Good suggestions. I’ll put some Research Notes pending figuring how to fix Wikidata.

Answer 3

I usually ask for help here on G2G to find someone who can edit WikiData/Wikipedia articles since I know we have members who contribute "over there" as well.
