50.53.1.33

Welcome to Wikidata, 50.53.1.33!

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:

• Wikidata:Introduction — An introduction to the project.
• Help:Contents — The main help portal for editing and using the site.
• Wikidata:Project chat — Discussions about the project.
• Wikidata:Tools — A collection of user-developed JavaScript tools to allow for easier completion of some tasks.

You are welcome to continue editing without logging in, but you may want to consider creating an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits. If you edit without a username, your IP address (50.53.1.33) is used to identify you instead. If you have any questions, please ask me on my talk page. 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!

Abuse filter "Spambot link" block

Request reason:

I believe the abuse filter needs fixing as I just got a ban from Special:AbuseFilter/5 and I do not think I did anything that warrants a three month ban (I was updating/fixing source code repository URL (P1324) URLs, especially for software hosted with Mercurial (Q476543)). In any event, I would appreciate an unblock. Thank you. 50.53.1.33 00:44, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Unblock reason:

Hi. You are right, your edits were legit. So I unblocked you. Generally adding bitbucket links should be legit. It's a widely used code repository, even many Wikidata tools and bots use it. I don't know why User:Wiki13 added it to the abuse filter's spam blacklist in 2013, but though there might have been a spam attack from some particular project using bitbucket, I assume it's over now, or it has to be handled manually rather than blindly blocking everybody who tries to add bitbucket links. Thus I will remove bitbucket.org from this filter. Sorry for the circumstances! Have fun editing Wikidata. YMS (talk) 09:05, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the filter is private so I cannot see the contents of the link you provided but I appreciate the filter update and thank you for the unblock. 50.53.1.33 11:21, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello, sorry for the late reply, but I don't check my notifications from other wiki's often. From what I still know about that period of time I recall Wikidata indeed having problems with spambots a lot. As administrator at that time I probably added the site to prevent more spam. I would say YMS is quite in his assumption and therefor I think his unblock would be more than justified. I'm sorry for any inconvenience you had due to actions which were neccesary in the past, but not anymore. --Wiki13 _talk 10:23, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
