"Are you proud of these bot descriptions?" edit
These are not bot descriptions, these are additions I made with OpenRefine to add descriptions to thousands of items created by bots that were making the work of myself and others more difficult. I wish I had the skill to write a bot that would pull information from ORCID to add more specific descriptions but I do not. This was not an ideal solution to this problem but it was the best I could do, and I am proud of the work I have done. I understand your desire to have more specific descriptions but that is no reason to denigrate or undo the work of other editors. Gamaliel (talk) 16:37, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Gamaliel: Sorry for hurting your feelings. To be honest I've just been very agitated because of a debate on Talk:Q192581 (IMHO in the new Swpb-meaning duplicate to work (Q268378) & repurposed against the rules from 'work as social position').--Washizu Iwao (talk) 16:42, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. I appreciate it. That is a very strange debate at Q192581, I only just looked at it but my initial impression is that I think you are right. Gamaliel (talk) 17:05, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Gamaliel: BTW: If somebody has publications, but is not a researcher by profession like John Salvatier (Q104479144) would you always revert this as 'blanking'? Is there any way to signal that I'm not vandalizing a certain description for fun but seriously think that somebody is not _mainly_ a researcher?--Washizu Iwao (talk) 16:50, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think researcher is inaccurate in that case, just not as specific as we would like. I don't see any value added to the article by having no description, why not just add the more specific occupation to the description? It's the same amount of work as blanking it and writing a justification. Gamaliel (talk) 17:05, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
Revert of correct description edit
Regarding your edit here: "Art von Qualität" is bogus in German" is simply not true. It was a gramatically and formally correct description, so please stop reverting correct descriptions. Thanks.-- Maxeto0910 (talk) 13:08, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
