Those were helpful, thanks Mahir256! For any future videos, I'm particularly interested in the use-case of: > As an experienced wiki-editor, I want to do some basic manual editing, and want to know the basics of what/where I can copy from (versus what needs to be rewritten). For instance: I want to go through https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Basic_English_combined_wordlist and add/improve those Lexemes in Wikidata. E.g.1. If I search Wikidata, I can see the 2 Lexemes for umbrella <https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=L%3Aumbrella&ns4=1&ns8=1&ns10=1&ns12=1&ns2300=1> needs more content. I also see that Wiktionary's umbrella <https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/umbrella> entry has some good information that could potentially be re-used. Now (I think?) I just need to learn 2 things: - (A - content) Which parts I can copy&paste (non-copyrightable), and which parts will need to be rewritten (CC-BY-SA); and similar questions for how I should utilize external references such as etymonline <https://www.etymonline.com/word/umbrella> and merriam-webster <https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/umbrella> (i.e. which parts are ineligible for copyright and I could safely copy, e.g. IPA? synonym lists?). - (B - interface) Where the different bits go within the Lexeme editing interface (as partially covered at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Lexicographical_data/Documentation#Interface and the previous videos) E.g.2. Ditto for improving the Lexeme for residue <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Lexeme:L227033> based off https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/residue (plus merriam-webster <https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/residue>) TLDR: I think a very short video (5-10 min?) covering the basics of improving 2 examples like those, would be very helpful for onboarding existing Wikimedians. Perhaps with further videos covering how to best add (and tips for finding the content for) more complex aspects such as Statements like etymology, and multilingual aspects. [Sidenote: I generally encourage short and separate videos (rather than a single long comprehensive video) because of benefits like: More likely for many people to watch a shorter video; Easier to update segments in the future; More likely to get captions-added (if placed on Commons); and Easier to place relevant videos within the //exact// section in text documentation.] TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T271240 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: Quiddity Cc: Mahir256, Lydia_Pintscher, Lea_Lacroix_WMDE, Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE, Mohammed_Sadat_WMDE, Quiddity, Keegan, Elitre, DVrandecic, LucasWerkmeister, gengh, GrounderUK, Nintendofan885, Akuckartz, Nandana, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, YULdigitalpreservation, LawExplorer, _jensen, rosalieper, Bodhisattwa, Scott_WUaS, Nikki, Verdy_p, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Gabrielchl, Mbch331
