Hi. I'm wondering what exactly you're trying to do. You're clearing existing Wikidata-items about historical regions of Poland, and make new ones of those same regions. In the process a lot of links to articles in the different languages are lost. Why? I merged a few of those items, back to the older existing item. But it's a lot of work to restore all the language-links. Please use the existing items to add the statements you would like to add, unless you have a good reason to make new items of it.

I reversed your changes on item Q836693. Please explain your intentions on this item and other items about historical regions in Poland. GeeJee (talk) 20:48, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I apologise for not responding previously. I didn't because I just felt silly with the idea that I had messed up Wikidata's items by my ignorance of how exactly the linking mechanism between a Wiki commons category and a Wikidata item works. At first I thought that when you create a new category in Wiki commons, you should also create a new item in Wikidata. I then realised this after a few days, however, that it doesn't work the way I thought it did before. Because of this, I made unnecessary duplicates of items with the information I had provided in them, which had actually already existed for a long time, but had different information and had never been linked to a category. It was only after a long time that I noticed that there were items with similar themes to the items I had created, so I started manually transferring the rest of the information from the already existing items to the items I had created. I deleted that information from the old items later on, so that there were no longer 2 items with the same theme.

As for my last edit, also, as in the previous case, I wanted to manually transfer the information from one thing to another, but the difference was that instead of leaving the thing blank, I wanted to use it for a different but similar subject matter, which was the Maps of Kuyavia category. I did this, because through my mistake with making duplicates and deleting information from old things that were left blank, I had a situation where someone retracted my edit, explaining it as "vandalism" on my part, which I must have inadvertently done to move information from one thing to another. I noticed that you recently moved the rest of the missing information from this thing automatically, for which I thank you in total, as it would have been tedious work to manually move all that information one by one, which are links to the wiki page in different languages.

I would like to apologise to you for all this unnecessary confusion on my part. I wanted to do the right thing, but instead I just messed everything up. JakaśKreatywnaNazwa123 (talk) 19:50, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Disambiguation information belongs in the description. Prussia (Q918723) and similar labels should not have "(region)" in them. Hjart (talk) 14:25, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
