Welcome to Wikidata, Oleksiy.golubov!
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.
Best regards!

Merge
[edit]Hallo Oleksiy.golubov,
When you merge items, please use the merge.js gadget from help page about merging. It helps you merging, nominating, gives the option to always keep the lower number (which is older, so preferable) and makes it a lot easier for the admins to process the requests.
If you don't have account, you may have to Create Account.

- Hi! Why do I have to create another account? Isn't my Wikipedia account valid here? I'm sorry, I still can't understand how to merge items. I've turned the gadget on, re-launched my browser, but see no changes in my interface. What should I do, for example, to merge the items 1 and 2 (the same village municipality in Ukraine)?

- When you hover your mouse above the arrow on the left side of the search bar in the upper right corner, you will get some options. Some of these options will be "Merge it with..." and you will get a pop-up where you can enter the other QID. Just enable all the checkboxes and click "Merge". The items will be merged automatically and a request for deletion will be done too. JurgenNL (talk) 08:43, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
