OpenRefine "This course is an introduction to using OpenRefine to make bulk edits to Wikidata. It is designed for those who have some knowledge of Wikidata, and who have done at least some manual editing of Wikidata already. No prior knowledge of OpenRefine is required. The course covers some basic OpenRefine tasks such as faceting, moving and renaming columns, reconciliation, creating a schema, and creating new columns from reconciled values. We show you how to make bulk edits to existing Wikidata items, as well as how to create new items. We also cover how to use OpenRefine to look for gaps on Wikidata. This is a short course which we estimate would take around 4 hours to complete." Led by Dr. Sara Thomas Programme Manager @ Wikimedia UK

Where to get help

How to improve a draft

• Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia – a basic overview on how to edit Wikipedia.
• Help:Wikitext – how to use the markup
• Help:Referencing for beginners – how to include references
• Wikipedia:Article development – how to develop your article
• Wikipedia:Writing better articles – how to improve your article
• Wikipedia:Verifiability – make sure your article includes reliable third-party sources

You can also browse Wikipedia:Featured articles and Wikipedia:Good articles to find examples of Wikipedia's best writing on topics similar to your proposed article.

Improving your odds of a speedy review

To improve your odds of a faster review, tag your draft with relevant WikiProject tags using the button below. This will let reviewers know a new draft has been submitted in their area of interest. For instance, if you wrote about a female astronomer, you would want to add the Biography, Astronomy, and Women scientists tags.

MusicBrainz I&I22 (talk) 13:52, 30 July 2025 (UTC) Someone suggested Soulseek [reply ]

Today I remember a singer who impressed me on stage. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:39, 6 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Oooooooo lovely Gerda!!! thank youou! I do not yet know how you code these story stories!

SO INSPIRING!!

I adore the musicality of Eike Wilm Schulte's name, beautiful. His name just floats off the tongue! His parents must have been very musically inclined, I will learn more...

I imagine that, as a singer, one must have a beautiful soul, as it is impossible to hide oneself and one's spirit in voice.

I am currently in a 9 month mentorship working with a performance artist who follows the practices of Fides Krucker, a contemporary opera singer. I see that Fides Krucker needs a website article and will add this to my list of fab souls to honour.

Thank you so much for these glorious stories that you share!!! I fell very lucky to learn about them all.

In warm appreciation, I&I22 (talk) 13:21, 7 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Lovely. For Fides Krucker, there's not much yet, but this looks good. Reviews and newspapers would be better. We can't build on someones website as you will have been told. - I began the stories when I became frustrated with DYK (Did you know ...? allegedly). I go by anniversaries of DYK, birth dates, such things, and all those who recently died and went to the main page. Today: birthday of a friend. In the video, you can see us perform from Brahms Requiem, conducted by the son of the birthday child. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:29, 7 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

OOOOOooooo I understand your frustration re DYK as so many amazing things are left off and wowee it can be such a struggle to have them published. What I find most annoying is that ppl dare to talk about "apolitical neutrality" pfff there is no such thing ha!

Yes, absolutely re Fides Krucker, there are many books, articles and documentaries that cite her work, just no one has bothered to write her into Wikipedia yet! I just posted her website for you to see her work.

I will watch your Brahms video!

Bon samedi <3<3<3 I&I22 (talk) 12:26, 8 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

mmm I cannot see the Brahms video, I see the lovely Sister Stan November 8th and not the story for the 7th. I&I22 (talk) 12:33, 8 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I came to tell you about the lovely sister ;) - Stories are archived, look at the bottom of any one and look there for the day or the topic when I forget to supply the link to the archive. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:18, 8 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

ayaaaaahhhh! ok, great thank youououuou aha super I missed naught then YES indeed Sister Stan looks to be a dear irish fiery soul who was on the good fight! Loverrrly. I&I22 (talk) 21:21, 8 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I have three more biographies on the main page today, miss a fourth one, nominated a fifth, that means little time for other matters. My places now include La Scala, - see music, Verdi three times, and twice in my story! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:44, 18 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Lovely and thank you @Gerda Arendt! I enjoyed reading about Gisela Bock. I resonate very much with her observation of

"during which she became interested in history as a science about people". I feel that theatre is also a very precise study of what it is to be human. I will look at your La Scala music thank yououuouoouu and hope all is well and sunny in your very busy Wiki-world. Warmest wishes, I&I22 (talk) 20:44, 19 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Thank you! - Look, today's image, - she "portrayed" herself with her husband at the end of the table, - would have been good for Thanksgiving ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:02, 24 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I ❤️ it!!!! Thank you Gerda 🙏🏾. Reminds me a bit the film Babette's feast. I&I22 (talk) 01:41, 25 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I like that! (But Babette's feast was top cuisine, and this looks rather basic.) - I copy and hold as draft what is in danger to be deleted. You'll have to make an edit every 5 months to keep that alive. I struggled with articles of two composers today and even got them confused because of similar studies. One died, the other will be 90 in two days. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:55, 25 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Thank you so much Gerda.

I am a bit furious and probably need to take a break from Wikipedia.

The system is antiquated and needs updating. I am tired of ppl claiming that Wikipedia is neutral and doesn't lead. I understand what they mean and also feel that they don't question enough or advocate to update Wikipedia to be even better and more inclusive.

I am tried of putting in tons of time and then when passionate am accused of making money.

There are more important things than money, my goodness!

TIME and EFFORT and acknowledging people's great efforts are far more important than stupid money! It's sooooooo ridiculous and capitalistic and immature to assume money rules and motivates all.

Re: the illustration & film comparison Excuse me, I didn't explain myself enough. I am an artist who loves to work in analogue the most. The drawing is beautiful and poetic and feels honest and joyous and community-minded and poetic. It is these qualities of the drawing that reminded me of the film, Babette's feast.

Ever warmly, I&I22 (talk) 21:22, 25 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Got it, thank you for explaining. I had two articles deleted, not including the first which was rescued by a helpful soul, and I've seen many by others deleted that I thought were informative. I had one marked "too many primary sources", and some years later there was a secondary source. I had to mark articles with COI templates for the reason of friendship (including that first one, where I was just filling a red link), and money was suspected. It hurts, I know. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:17, 25 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Thank you for sharing your stories Gerda. I really appreciate it. That sounds so frustrating and now I know completely how frustrating it is. I had others deleted and I understood.All good and will recalibrate, focus on my many other fun life projects for the next while. All good! Live and Learn. 🥳🙏🏾🎉☮️ I&I22 (talk) 00:15, 26 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Guten Tag Gerda, is it possible to show me the page where your friend posted your stories as will post here again. I copied the coding/formatting., so it showed up nicely on the page. ha! I erased everything, to symbollically start over and now miss seeing your stories! I&I22 (talk) 14:01, 26 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

You can simply copy from the top of my talk, and thank you for hosting them! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:45, 26 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

If you want to restore more, go to "View history", click on the last full revision, edit that and take from it, but remember to then add it to the actual talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:48, 26 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Thank you, I remembered that there was a strange symbol that I had copied before...doesn't matter.

Anyways done! And thanks again. I don't want to restore the page. It was messy anyways. From now will focus on maintaining a minimum.

I&I22 (talk) 14:54, 26 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Very happy to see your story today! With a mention of:

"The Studio for Electronic Music of the West German Radio (German: Studio für elektronische Musik des Westdeutschen Rundfunks) was a facility of the Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR) in Cologne. It was the first of its kind in the world, and its history reflects the development of electronic music in the second half of the twentieth century." So fun to seeeeeeee! I&I22 (talk) 06:31, 27 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I needed a moment to understand, and then realised that you probably read before I updated. I had too much to add (and no end in sight) to today's birthday child, who is mentioned in all the German papers. I like that he was featured already in a DYK hook I made in 2010, for another birthday, - I was there and three composers of the five mentioned (but not Lachenmann and Rihm whose music was also played), - many reasons to be thankful! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:50, 27 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Yes was yesterday 's story. I was up late. Am thrilled to read about today's composer and happy 90th birthday Helmut Lachenmann! And am delighted to see Musique concrète, which is love the ideas of. Luigi Nono his mentor sounds incredible. Some of my friends are noise musicians. All the very best, I&I22 (talk) 12:23, 27 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Interesting! - Haven' added yet to is article that he participated in two of the events. (I couldn't.) - My story today is a Bach cantata, mentioned with the Christmas cantata which is up for FAC again, and the conductor of the video is mentioned by name in movement 1 of the Christmas cantata. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:22, 30 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Beautiful @Gerda Arendt! Isee your story with ex-votos which I adore. <3 I&I22 (talk) 16:41, 3 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I saw them in person today! - pics to come eventually --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:46, 3 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Ooooooooo! I actually commissioned an ex-voto years ago when finished my master's as was such a big exhausting multimedia project to do. Beautiful! I look forward to seeing your photos. 🙏🏾🤩🥳 I&I22 (talk) 18:22, 3 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Continuing, more organists: I wish Happy birthday to Gabriel Dessauer, - enjoy music he played, Dance Toccata, by another Paris organist. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:02, 4 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

More Morançon: listen to his Mendelssohn on a great instrument, illustrated with historic images. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:13, 5 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Lovely Gerda!! I went down far too many rabbit holes investigating these 2 notices ha! I&I22 (talk) 16:08, 7 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Lovely, thank you! - I woke up to a a Bach cantata, GA by an editor's first review, and it was the first time that I was involved (a bit) in a pictured ITN blurb. More pics of buildings by him on my talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:07, 8 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I brought Wozzeck to the main page, not by me but I noticed the quality and the centenary. Enjoy plenty of music, three events in about 24 hours including 5 Bach cantatas and his Magnificat with the Christmas interpolations. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:37, 14 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

HellloooOOoooOOooOoOoooOooOoooOoOoooo to you Gerda! Happy Tuesday. Lovely to see Frank Gehry. Congratulations on your GA!! Yahooooooo! We will put up our tree today and have been listing to Brian Eno's "Lullaby (feat. Amena, Bastille, Brian Eno, Celeste, Kieran Brunt, Lana Lubany, London Community Gospel Choir, Mabel, Nadine Shah, Sura Abdo, TYSON, Yasmeen Ayyashi & Ysee) - Single" <3<3<3 I&I22 (talk) 12:57, 16 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Thank you, will listen. Try my suggestions, - tough listening: two who died on the main page (see top of my talk), and both bios not quite ready, but working on it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:05, 16 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Today's 1715 Advent Bach cantata translates to "Prepare the ways", - listen to quite stunning music if you haven't ;) - "places" take you to Copenhagen". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:43, 21 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Gorgeous Gerda!!!! Stunning even and very much reminds me of my dear aunt. "Prepare the ways" is a beautiful thought to end one year and start another. 2026 looks to be exciting and was just invited to do a project in Norway so am researching Norwegian arts scene, very fun. Thank youououou and happy almost Christmas dearest Gerda!!! <3<3<3 I&I22 (talk) 17:09, 21 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

That sounds great! - Laughter for Christmas - enjoy the season! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:41, 25 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

O my goodness @Gerda Arendt, hooooow beautiful.... am listening to the video "Bach - Cantata Unser Mund Sei voll Lachens BWV 110 - Van Veldhoven | Netherlands Bach Society".

It is thrillingly beautiful! Gorgeous thank youououoouuo for all the divine music sharing! <3<3<3 I&I22 (talk) 12:19, 27 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Yes, I am laughing to myself at your message a bit as for sure yes, ups and downs and all for good in the end.

Ah, to be an extremely passionate person is not always easy for anyone and those around them,

Better than being apathetic maybe? > . < o dear.....

Thank you for your consistent grace and generous sharing and guidance dearest GoldRomean!

Wishing you and yours and all the amazing glorious kind editors on Wikipedia all the good things in life!

And may I learn more about Wikipedia so smoother process getting things done and engaging ha!

I have a list of new articles to work on when can, also still thinking about how to go about better Wikipedia sound archive.

Ever warmly, I&I22 (talk) 12:06, 27 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Also so sorry I deleted everything in a tidal wave of erasure on my talk and user pages in an attempt to start again afresh/Tabula rasa and be more minimal so less trouble.

An attempt to maintain autotelic clarity gahhhhhh!

Including the invitation to sign your guest page booooOooOoOoOoo, which i enjoyed supporting, although don't know if my notice did anything at all to send people your way.

Happy New Year GoldRomean and may you have many calm and collected and untroubly constructive Wikipedia-adoptees yahoooOooOOOoOOoOoooOOoo weeEeEeEEeeEEeeeEEEeEEEEeEEeEEeeeeee! I&I22 (talk) 12:31, 27 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Happy New Years 2026 to you lovely, generous soul Gerda! Thank you for all the beauty sharing. I just realised that I do not know how you add in youtube links in Wikipedia, so clever! I am unable to do this yet.

Wishing you an amazing and inspiring joyous year and amd delighted to be lucky enough to learn about all these amazing artists, compositions, cultural contributions, sounds and more! Learning is sooOOooOoOooo fun! Woot woot! I&I22 (talk) 06:16, 3 January 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

You said that sooo well, thank you! You can add youtube links like other external links, in single straight brackets: the link, a space and the title, or you can us {{YouTube }}. Use both sparsely, and especially in article space be careful to only use those with a proper license. I have a DYK today, but am not happy about the wording which is normal ;) (It's as if we' say: The music of Beethoven was praised by two emperors of Austria-Hungary.) - Great woman with a man's name! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:23, 3 January 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

I am looking for insights on: How do I shift wip published (and rejected) articles to my draft space? I was translating an article and published it - but it's not really ready to be published yet. It was nominated for speedy deletion.

Any insights are welcome thank you! I&I22 (talk) 15:57, 2 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hey @I&I22! I moved the article in question to the draft space, since per Wikipedia:DRAFTIFY, this is probably the correct thing to do. S.G. (They/Them) (Talk) (Edits) 16:01, 2 January 2026 (UTC)Reply @I&I22: I should note that this won't always prevent its deletion, and that it may still be deleted. I apologise if that does happen, but I did try to help here. S.G. (They/Them) (Talk) (Edits) 16:04, 2 January 2026 (UTC)Reply @SignedInteger. Thanks! (Iluziya7 (talk) 16:11, 2 January 2026 (UTC))Reply @Iluziya7@SignedInteger Thank you so much for your help and support! Great I will continue to work on it until it is ready. It would be so awesome to have the option to choose saving a translation in drafts instead of just jumping into publishing. Not sure how to follow up about that though....thanks again and Happy New years 2026!!! I&I22 (talk) 16:15, 2 January 2026 (UTC)Reply @I&I22: Happy New Year! And good luck with your draft, assuming that it doesn't get deleted, which I hope that it doesn't. S.G. (They/Them) (Talk) (Edits) 16:18, 2 January 2026 (UTC)Reply @I&I22. You are doing a wonderful, good and wonderful job, thank you and we wish you a Happy New Year 2026! (Iluziya7 (talk) 16:20, 2 January 2026 (UTC))Reply @Iluziya7awww that is so kind of you! Well, I care a lot about protecting cultural legacies. I am very mediocre as an editor and basically fail my way to success hahahah o bbboy. Eventually it all works out. Very kind of you to encourage my imperfect attempts at being useful. I don't know what to say as am so ordinary. Thank yououuouou, I&I22 (talk) 16:23, 2 January 2026 (UTC)Reply @I&I22. It's true, you love Wikipedia so much, so learn Wikipedia rules like a pro! (Iluziya7 (talk) 16:28, 2 January 2026 (UTC))Reply I think failing your way to success is (at least in some sense) the only way to success. Learning how to prevent certain kinds of failure from happening again is always a good thing, as is making improvements to strategy, but still ... if you don't put yourself open to failing, then you accomplish nothing. Sometimes a person succeeds on their first attempt at something, but the risk of failing was still with them. TooManyFingers (he/him · talk) 16:37, 2 January 2026 (UTC)Reply @TooManyFingersyessssss! It's quite anarchistic and experiential learning and I enjoy the process! thank youou for sharing your thoughts and providing encouragements I&I22 (talk) 16:54, 2 January 2026 (UTC)Reply @I&I22: I removed the notice, so you don't have to worry about it being deleted anymore. Good luck with your draft! S.G. (They/Them) (Talk) (Edits) 16:56, 2 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

@User:I&I22: It would be so awesome to have the option to choose saving a translation in drafts instead of just jumping into publishing. For proposed article "XYZ" you could start directly at "Draft:XYZ". Feline Hymnic (talk) 16:32, 2 January 2026 (UTC)Reply @Feline Hymnic. You're right! (Iluziya7 (talk) 16:34, 2 January 2026 (UTC))Reply

Are you using the Content Translation tool to translate? If so, it does save your work in the tool, so if you haven't finished, you can do that. Or if you have page mover rights (I don't remember if that's autoconfirmed or extended confirmed) you can hit publish and then immediately move page to Draft:Title as explained above. SomeoneDreaming (talk) 04:20, 3 January 2026 (UTC)Reply @SomeoneDreaming I was in the content translation and then manually adding my own translations, but it was incomplete and only saw the 'publish' option, not a 'save draft' option. I do not think that I have page mover rights as yet, not sure...someone else kindly moved the page for me though. I like to offer translation, so am wondering how to avoid this misstep in the future - beyond copy pasting to sandbox. I will figure it out! Thank you so much everyone :) I&I22 (talk) 05:10, 3 January 2026 (UTC)Reply @I&I22, 'publish' really just means 'save work' - it is supposed to make it clear that when you press that button, your work becomes visible to everyone on the internet (if they know where to look anyway). It sounds like you accidentally made a draft page in the 'main' namespace, so it looked like you were saying it was a finished article before it was ready. What you can do instead is use the WP:Article wizard, which I'm pretty sure automatically puts things into the 'draft' namespace and gets the Wikipedia code set up for you. The other option is that you can create a page by searching for "Draft:Subject" (replacing Subject with what you're writing about), which will tell you the page doesn't exist, and from that you can create a new draft. So for example I'm interested in writing an article about artists called the Numina Sisters, so I would put "Draft:Numina Sisters" in the search bar and then select the red link Draft:Numina Sisters. If you choose this second option, you'll need to put at the very top of your draft so that you get the magic submission button to show up. Once your draft is ready for review, you simply press that button and your draft will go into the review pool. Meadowlark (talk) 10:15, 3 January 2026 (UTC)Reply YahooOoOooo thank you @Meadowlark! This info is gold. Love all this learning and sharing of knowledge. Much thanks and to you too @SomeoneDreaming. Very cool community Wikipedia is! I&I22 (talk) 13:57, 3 January 2026 (UTC)Reply @I&I22: Oh, and here's another place where your potential articles could go: Help:Userspace draft. Unlike regular drafts, userspace drafts usually aren't deleted if an editor doesn't edit them for a while (aka 6 months). This is what the articles I make usually start off as. This still allows you to submit it for review as well. Of course, feel free to choose between a userspace draft and a draftspace one. S.G. (They/Them) (Talk) (Edits) 14:00, 3 January 2026 (UTC)Reply aha! Thank you for clarifying this @SignedInteger. I was a bit confused re these different spaces - I have always created work in drafts spaces and once I had copy pasted some collected text, quotes and was told off that it was plagiarism, even though I thought it was a "private-ish" draft space. So now I understand what was going on a a bit better thank you. I might copy pooaste all these hot tips to my user page, as I remember how to do everything better when it's in these conversational contexts. I will de-activate the tags/pings of you all though. I&I22 (talk) 14:21, 3 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

In the content translation tool I believe it saves automatically. SomeoneDreaming (talk) 11:57, 3 January 2026 (UTC)Reply I&I22 (talk) 21:50, 3 January 2026 (UTC) [reply ]
