Welcome to Wikidata, Kanashimi!

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:

• Introduction – An introduction to the project.
• Wikidata tours – Interactive tutorials to show you how Wikidata works.
• Community portal – The portal for community members.
• User options – including the 'Babel' extension, to set your language preferences.
• Contents – The main help page for editing and using the site.
• Project chat – Discussions about the project.
• Tools – A collection of user-developed tools to allow for easier completion of some tasks.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask on Project chat. 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.

Labels for en from zhwiki ?

Hi Kanashimi,

I noticed you are importing zh labels from zhwiki. I was wondering if you would be interested in doing the opposite:

There are few items that have English names (or names in Latin script) at zhwiki, but nothing but a zh-label at Wikidata (WD sample with zhwiki sample). I think it would make it easier to connect the articles to more content if the label was imported.

@Jura1: It's an interesting idea. I have add some codes on GitHub and will test them soon. Kanashimi (talk) 08:39, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. Let's see how it goes. This might be a list of candidates. BTW, sometimes the Chinese article includes what seems to be the preferred Romanization of the name. Is there a simple way to extract it?
--- Jura 10:52, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

@Jura1: Thanks for your suggest. The task is still running. I'll try after it stop. Please wait for a few days. For "seems to be the preferred Romanization of the name," are there examples? Kanashimi (talk) 11:58, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I started collecting samples today as I came across them looking for dates: Pak Lin (Q10430045) ("Pak Lin"), Mak Siu Ha (Q11175338) ("Mak Siu Ha"). As I don't read zh, you will have a better view of what it actually is.

Samples for English (and other names in Latin script): John Darroch (Q15938645), Carl Gustav, Prince Ysenburg and Büdingen in Büdingen (Q20063678), Otto Salm-Horstmar (Q20063139). I will list more if I find some.
--- Jura 12:14, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

@Jura1: I see. There's no problem to extract the names. I'll try to add some more codes to do it. Kanashimi (talk) 12:21, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

--- Jura 11:27, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. Sorry that I find I must detect if the article exists in the foreign wiki first, and I had already requested a new task on jawiki. So I postponed doing the task for one or two weeks. Please wait for some days. --Kanashimi (talk) 11:50, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

No worries. Some of the items have been created years ago, so they can easily wait another year ;) Maybe the bot could use the variation of the query above to determine which items to scan.
--- Jura 12:58, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

OK. Thank you. :) --Kanashimi (talk) 13:10, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

@Jura1: I have re-scan the pages from zhwiki and jawiki, import the titles I can found from from lead section. There are still titles I can not parse or titles import into non-English. Please review the result and tell me if there are further issues, thank you. --Kanashimi (talk) 22:12, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

Looks good. Most I checked were fine. Personally I had in mind mainly items for humans (Q5) without any labels in Latin scripts. It seems that it also adds aliases to items that already have labels. The edit summaries could be a bit more explicit. Ideally they would be similar to edit summaries for manual edits.
--- Jura 22:29, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

@Jura1: May you give some examples for the recommend summaries? I think it is easy to make it better. --Kanashimi (talk) 22:39, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

Maybe like the ones from Quickstatements on [1] (en alias, fr label). This could preeceed "import from zh:article name"
--- Jura 22:44, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. :) --Kanashimi (talk) 22:50, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

instance of (P31)

May I ask why you removed all the zh-* variants for labels and descriptions of instance of (P31)? There are often linguistic differences between Chinese used in different areas. --—Wylve (talk) 20:01, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

I want to make the labels unified. And there is a "轉換拼寫" mechanism to transfer between different area. However, I have filled the labels again. Please tell me if there are still problems. --Kanashimi (talk) 23:43, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I am not so concerned about zh-hans and zh-hant, but zh-cn, zh-hk, zh-mo, zh-my, zh-sg and zh-tw. I know that zhwiki has a mechanism for switching between different scripts, but that does not matter because the Wikipedias are not the only user of Wikidata. If a user is to ask what the Chinese name for an item is in Taiwan, then it would only be natural to refer him/her to the zh-tw label. Using a fallback system to zh means that the result of the query is only an assumption (as in we assume that the zh label would be identical to the zh-tw label). Even if the zh and zh-tw are indeed identical, I don't see the reason to remove the latter. It would be great if zhwiki can store all their 轉換拼寫 variations in Wikidata. Thanks. —Wylve (talk) 07:55, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your concern. I have tried the {{#property:P31}} at WP:SB. (I use Wikimedia project page (Q14204246)) It seems will fallback as:

(zh-hk, zh-mo, zh-tw) → zh-hant (→ zh?)

(zh-cn, zh-sg) → zh-hans (→ zh?)

no zh-my?

Please tell me if there are still problems, thank you. --Kanashimi (talk) 08:31, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi, what I am trying to say is that even when you unify labels and those labels happen to be identical, it would be best if you put the same label in every zh-* rather than to delete all of them. —Wylve (talk) 08:44, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

I will pay attention in the future. Thank you. --Kanashimi (talk) 08:54, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! —Wylve (talk) 13:57, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

Additionally, why zh-cn?

@Kanashimi: If you bot adds Traditional as zh-hant by default, then why you're adding Simplified as zh-cn rather than general zh-hans? --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 06:07, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

Humm... It seems a good idea. I will try it. --Kanashimi (talk) 08:41, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

And for the cases of proper nouns using language conversion, the bot will add to the corresponding language. I think the bot usually adding to zh-cn just because many language conversions specified this language. --Kanashimi (talk) 08:50, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

Q11496145

How can one prevent your bot from readding the same claim again and again to Sensōroku (Q11496145)? --Pasleim (talk) 11:25, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Sorry for making this mistake. I have modify the code on GitHub, please let me know if there are further issues. --Kanashimi (talk) 13:08, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Character entity references in aliases

This edit introduced a label that includes HTML code, because it extracted wiki markup from ja:ヒヤル. Ideally the label should have been turned into literal Arabic text. Do you know if this is a widespread issue? – Minh Nguyễn ^💬 17:45, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for the report. This error was made by a early version and is fixed now. I will try to find out if there are still errors left and fix them. Please wait for some days. --Kanashimi (talk) 09:30, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

ancient Greek

Please do not add modern Greek as ancient Greek as here. Modern and ancient Greek have different language codes. --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:36, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

It seems the source at ja:アイスキュロス is wrong. I have modified the source. --Kanashimi (talk) 23:08, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Bot improvements

Your bot is adding labels which include disambiguation information, e.g. Special:Diff/518108554, Special:Diff/518171014, Special:Diff/518101135, Special:Diff/518112793, Special:Diff/518120325. We don't include disambiguation information in labels, so that should be removed before adding the label. Most bots and gadgets remove any text in brackets at the end of the string.

It is also adding lists of labels/aliases, e.g. Special:Diff/518119072, Special:Diff/518115453, Special:Diff/518114838, Special:Diff/518112966, Special:Diff/518097120, Special:Diff/518098176, Special:Diff/518099333. This includes ones which contain characters not used by that language, e.g. Special:Diff/518116350, Special:Diff/518120126, Special:Diff/518104472, Special:Diff/518095824, Special:Diff/518090050, Special:Diff/518084253.

There are also some weird edits like Special:Diff/518117274 and Special:Diff/518070230.

You could avoid that:

• Check that the script matches what the language uses. For example, English does not use Chinese characters, so a label which contains Chinese characters is probably wrong.
• Check that the text does not contain list separators (commas, slashes, ampersands, words such as "and" or "or"...), brackets or other unusual punctuation.

Then if it does contain unexpected characters, don't add it unless someone has checked it.

- Nikki (talk) 15:43, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

It seems the bot also follows redirects and that causes it to add incorrect aliases, e.g. Special:Diff/518087827 (Monika is a member of the group, not another name for the group), Special:Diff/518111343 (Inflatable is a track on the album, not another name for the album), Special:Diff/517352069 (green tea extract is something extracted from green tea, not another name for green tea). - Nikki (talk) 16:29, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for the advices of the task. I have modified the code to fix the bugs. For some errors due to inappropriate sources, I have modified the source wikitext. For example, It should be {{link-en|保羅·布奇|Paul Buckle|-{zh-hans:保罗·巴克; zh-hk:保羅·布奇;}-}} instead of {{link-en|-{zh-hans:保罗·巴克; zh-hk:保羅·布奇;}-|Paul Buckle}}. Kanashimi (talk) 10:04, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

• For the languages I can read, I think it works quite well (see discussion above). I think I removed one or two cases where it added the label in quotes as alias.

Thank you. I have revert the edit. --Kanashimi (talk) 13:10, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Do you need such information (for example, here, or I can just revert the edit? --Fractaler (talk) 15:30, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

For this case, I think modify the source is a better solution... --Kanashimi (talk) 00:36, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

In this edit your bot was importing aliases with commas instead of seperate terms.--Bigbossfarin (talk) 19:56, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

repeating wrong additions

Hi. Twice I have had to remove cewbot's additions to Q5417893 of English alias FSA. Latest [2]. It is inaccurate as the alias belongs to Q26196499. I am sure that you can understand the frustration when bots keep blindly repeating the same task when an item has been curated, and I hope that yo are able to find a solution. Thanks.

@Billinghurst: Thank you for the attention. I find that there are errors exist in the article w:zh:戴維·阿滕伯勒 and I fixed it so that the bot will not make this mistake again. --Kanashimi (talk) 08:11, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Alleged alias in Q2061047

The information in the Chinese wikipedia, on which your bot based this edit, is mistaken. The church is not called in Italian "Cattedrale di San Giuseppe". That was a mistake that has been corrected in the Italian and other wikipedias, but not yet in the Chinese. Please correct the Chinese article also. Theodoxa (talk) 13:00, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

I have changed the name in the article zh:聖若瑟主教座堂 (阿斯馬拉) to Chiesa della Beata Vergine del Rosario. Please let me know if it is wrong. --Kanashimi (talk) 13:12, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for removing the "alias". Unfortunately, I don't know Chinese. The name given to the church in that language remains as before, and Google Translate still gives its equivalents in Italian and English as Cattedrale di San Giuseppe and St. Joseph's Cathedral. Theodoxa (talk) 21:09, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

Duplicate

https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q483677&diff=0&oldid=708932530 adds two aliases on the same line, which isn't so good, especially since one of them is a duplicate (with different capitalization). Can you fix the bot? WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:53, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

It is a strange case. I will pay attention if it occurs again. Thank you for reporting the bug. --Kanashimi (talk) 10:28, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Again. Is it copying it out of w:ja:Template:lang-en-short from the first sentence of w:ja:疑似科学? WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:51, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Yes. It's coping from the lead section of w:ja:疑似科学. I have modify the code and re-execute again. It seems OK now. Thank you for helping me debugging. --Kanashimi (talk) 08:09, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

I think I've found another example here. I keep undoing this, but it would be nice to have this bot stop this mistake. Mwtoews (talk) 22:35, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

OK. I will stop inserting this kind of label/alias. --Kanashimi (talk) 10:41, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

Alias addition on Liv and Maddie

On the page for the Disney Channel comedy series Liv and Maddie, your bot keeps adding "Disney Channel" as an alias in Chinese. Disney Channel is not an alias for this series, it is the network that airs it. I've seen the bot do this before, so I came to inform you so you can get it to stop doing this, as it is incorrect. Thank you. 104.58.147.208 18:03, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

English label from Japanese/Korean infobox fields?

Hi Kanashimi,

When working on hospitals, I noticed that some of the infoboxes in jawiki had the English name in an infobox field. I imported quite a few of them. Sample: Q18336920.

Maybe something similar could be done for other infoboxes. I couldn't find a good sample with [4] though. The ones I checked already had an English label. The same seems possible with kowiki.

Maybe it's something you want to add to your bot's operations. --- Jura 08:49, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. It seems possible to do this task with bot. However, it should write a new one for these cases. --Kanashimi (talk) 10:37, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Troubles of adding edition-dependent properties to works

This edit [5] claims that all editions of the novel have the same illustrator and same number of pages. That is not correct. Numbers of pages and illustrators are information about specific editions and should not be placed on the item for the work as a whole. --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:59, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

It looks to me that you are making this same mistake on many many items. Please check with Wikidata:WikiProject Books to understand how book items are handled on Wikidata. --EncycloPetey (talk) 02:01, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

@EncycloPetey: Thank you. Are there some samples if I only know it comes from jawiki? --Kanashimi (talk) 02:13, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

I don't understand you question. But please STOP your bot. It is making huge mistakes adding edition data to work data items. I made a correction, but the bot but the errors back. You have the responsibility to STOP your bot until the problems are corrected. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:08, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

@EncycloPetey: OK. I stopped. --Kanashimi (talk) 03:09, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

@EncycloPetey: Sorry for the trouble. My question is, for example, w:ja:火星のプリンセス says that there are 326 pages. How can I input the information to wikidata? --Kanashimi (talk) 03:13, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

[edit conflict] You will also need to go back and UNDO most of the edits your bot made. They are wrong. You cannot add the information to Wikidata that you are trying to add.

Example: A Princess of Mars (Q475589) is the data item for the WORK (counting ALL editions) of A Princess of Mars. Because the data item is for all copies of the work ever printed, it cannot be a "hardback" or have a specific illustrator or a number of pages. This data item covers ALL editions at once, and each edition has a different format, a different illustrator, and a different number of pages. The data you want to add belongs on A Princess of Mars (Q55657589) which is the data item for the FIRST BOOK EDITION (in English). This is the edition that had Schoonover's illustrations and was a hardback. But there are other editions, and they have their own data items.

The same thing is true for all of the book information you have been adding. You have added it to the wrong data items in each case. The information about format, number of pages, ISBN, illustrator, belongs on a data item for that specific edition, and NOT on the data item for the work.

Again, it looks like your bot was not following the correct data model. You should UNDO all the edits you made, and learn the correct data model before trying to add any information about specific editions. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:16, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

@EncycloPetey: Thank you. I import ISBN-10 (P957), ISBN-13 (P212), NACSIS-CAT bibliography ID (P1739), OCLC control number (P243), imported from Wikimedia project (P143), genre (P136), number of pages (P1104), language of work or name (P407), official website (P856), publication date (P577), instance of (P31), follows (P155), illustrator (P110), country of origin (P495), followed by (P156), publisher (P123), author (P50), translator (P655), name in kana (P1814), title (P1476) to wikidata now. Are all the properties not suitable to import, or some of them are OK to import? --Kanashimi (talk) 03:20, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

country of origin (P495) should be OK, but nearly all of the others CANNOT be added to the work, or have already been included. title (P1476) should be OK if you are adding a book that was originally in Japanese, but not for works that were translated into Japanese. genre (P136) is problematic ad WiiProject Books is having a discussion about the use of this property. I would not add anything except country of origin (P495) without first learning the data model for Wikidata. The basic question to ask before adding a piece of information to a WORK's data item is: "Will this information be true for ALL copies of the work that have ever been published, or ever will be published?" And for most of the items you've listed, the answer is "NO". --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:25, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

@EncycloPetey: I have read Wikidata:WikiProject Books, and I think a little bit understand what you mean. But I still have questions.

1. I find that there is 'Pages' attribute and other edition-dependent properties on the wikipedia, for example, w:en:A Princess of Mars. If we link w:en:A Princess of Mars to A Princess of Mars (Q475589), and the two items are ACTUALLY different things, or different scopes; is this kind of situation properly?
2. There are too many works without has edition or translation (P747). Should we create a first-edition-item for such works?
3. If a work has just one has edition or translation (P747), is it proper to write the data mentioned above to this wikidata item?
4. Even A Princess of Mars (Q475589) has image (P18). But I think if we can't locate other edition-dependent properties on meta-item, we also can't locate image (P18) on A Princess of Mars (Q475589). A workaround may be clearly pointed out the edition cited.
5. There seems many works (not editions) with edition-dependent properties. Should we remove them all? --Kanashimi (talk) 04:21, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi, on work you can usually find some data from the first edition :

1. WP presents on one page the information of multiple edition. Ideally, this data can by entered on version, edition or translation (Q3331189) and WP can select them. Data from the first edition is tolerated on work, such as pages, image or publication date.
2. yes, a version, edition or translation (Q3331189) should be created at least for the first edition.
3. no, other edition should be created with there own version, edition or translation (Q3331189).
4. not sure here.
5. yes, but not before creating a version, edition or translation (Q3331189) with them.

It's what I think, I could be wrong :)

I delete the erroneous data on the items I follow, but you should delete them all as EncycloPetey says, the bot has even added hardback (Q193955) to film (Q11424) as here 1009830106 — eru ^{[Talk] [french wiki]} 08:29, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

@Eru: Thank you. For the case of Onimasa (Q3015390), the main description of jawiki includes original work (novel) and movie version. So I think the link between Onimasa (Q3015390) and w:ja:鬼龍院花子の生涯 is not proper. Perhaps we need to create three wikidata items - work (main item), novel edition, movie edition? But I think if we do this for all works, it will be huge loading. Moreover, items between different wikis will be broken. For example, maybe jawiki links to work (main item), other wikis links to movie edition, etc. --Kanashimi (talk) 09:02, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

If on jawiki the main subjet is the novel and then the adaptations, it's should be link to a literary work (Q7725634) with based on (P144)/derivative work (P4969), wikidata is stricter than wp.

The problem is the loss of interwiki link, but you can add them manually on jawiki, and create on jawiki a redirect page that link to Onimasa (Q3015390).

From time to time I create a redirection like this 909289911 on enwiki to have an interwiki on frwiki fr:Yan Solo et le Trésor de Xim — eru ^{[Talk] [french wiki]} 09:21, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. A redirection seems a good trick. But for w:ja:鬼龍院花子の生涯, we should create a main-work-item, and when we link the w:ja:鬼龍院花子の生涯 to the main-work-item, the sitelink will be broken still... do you have a good solution for this situation? --Kanashimi (talk) 10:09, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

The Norwegian Wikisource was working on a technical solution, but I do not know whether it is used anywhere else yet. --EncycloPetey (talk) 16:27, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Please note that some of @Eru:'s responses above are incorrect, and some are current topics of discussion that have nor been resolved. For example, the number of pages for the first edition should be placed only on the data item for the first edition, not on the data item for the work. Where you see page numbers of the main data item, it is because someone from a Wikipedia uploaded them there, and should not have done this.

1. Yes, Wikipedia articles are about the book, and do not usually distinguish between editions. But Wikidata has to distinguish between the book and its editions because Wikisource also uses the data here, and Wikisource can have more than one edition.
2. The data model for Wikidata mean there should always be a data item for the work, and a second data item for the first edition. Major libraries around the world do this as well, and Wikidata must have a place to connect the data for the book and for its editions.
3. See the answer to number 2 above.
4. The image on the main data item represents the main data item. This is fine. The editions should have images for that edition, but the main data item should have a general item. This is fine.
5. Yes, there is a lot of cleanup to do. As I said, many people have uploaded Wikipedia data incorrectly using bots, which adds lots of incorrect data quickly, but the cleanup is done manually most of the time, and so we accumulate bad data faster than we clean it up.

--EncycloPetey (talk) 16:25, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

If we have to create the first edition item, and move the edition data to the first edition item, perhaps I can let cewbot to do the task. How about this idea? --Kanashimi (talk) 20:39, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

If your bot can perform a check before creating the first edition item, this can be acceptable:

Check if one data of the set of data you want to add already exists in WD. For example, you have a set of data composed of ISBN-13 AND OCLC control number.

• check if an item already has the ISBN-13 value.

• If yes, check if the Qxxx item is defined by instance of (P31):version, edition or translation (Q3331189).

• If yes, you have the edition item you want.

• Then check if that Qxxx item has the same value as in your data set for OCLC control number.

• If yes, then add all your data to that Qxxx item.
• If no, check if another item has the value for OCLC control number.

• If another Qyyy item have that value, stop the upload process and mark your data as to be manually imported.
• If no other item has the value for OCLC control number, then add all your data to that Qxxx item.

• If no, check if the Qxxx item is defined by instance of (P31):literary work (Q7725634).

• If yes, then the work item Qxxx is containing edition data. So you can create a new item for edition and upload your data in that new item with the creation of the link with the work item. A manual curation will be necessary to delete the duplicated data between the work item and the new edition item. This job should not be done by bot but manually to ensure that only the duplicated data will be deleted ( a work item can contain several ISBN-13 related to different editions).
• If no, check if the Qxxx item is defined by instance of (P31):book (Q571).

• If yes, stop the upload process and mark your data as to be manually imported after check of the item.
• If no, stop the upload process and mark your data as to be manually imported after check of the item.

• If no, check if an item already has the value for OCLC control number.

Excluding given name/family name items for Latin script aliases

Hi Kanashimi,

Good to see that your bot is still running. Just a minor tweak: would you exclude items for given names or family names from the additions of aliases?

Sample: [7][8].

There is a separate item for "Tomas" at Q1546318. If it didn't exist, it would eventually be created as we try to do items by native label and the "Thomas"-item shouldn't be used instead.

Checking for instance of (P31) =

• given name (Q202444)
• male given name (Q12308941)
• female given name (Q11879590)
• family name (Q101352)

should be sufficient. --- Jura 11:26, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments. I find Tomas in en:Name days in Sweden links to en:Thomas (name). Should it links to en:Tomas (given name)? --Kanashimi (talk) 22:39, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Cewbot violating the bot maxlag policy

Hey Kanashimi, your bot account User:Cewbot is currently violating the bot policy, as it runs at 70-80 edits/min while the maxlag parameter is way above 5. Can you please immediately make it comply with the policy? I would otherwise block it soon until you have implemented it properly. ---MisterSynergy (talk) 10:53, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

@MisterSynergy: Sure. In fact, I had run at 5s/edit at first of test edit, but I find that there are too many edits to do. If I do not speedy the task, I may run too long. Are there any good solution for this case? --Kanashimi (talk) 11:10, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Well, the bot policy requires you to stop automated editing while maxlag>5, and there is nothing you can do to speed up thing in these phases. Server capacities at Wikidata are unfortunately limited, thus we need to make sure that all users are able to get their fair share.
Properly implemented bots (read: bot frameworks) do respect the maxlag parameter automatically, which means that you just start the task once, and the framework manages the stop-and-go behavior in compliance with the bot policy. Which framework do you use? ---MisterSynergy (talk) 11:15, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

I have set the limit back. --Kanashimi (talk) 11:19, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Okay thanks. As much as I understand the frustration that batches take a lot of time: don't ever change it back to "ignore" (or values larger than maxlag=5). We are monitoring this quite often these days, as server overload happens way too often and this is indeed related to the large overall amount of edits here. ---MisterSynergy (talk) 11:23, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

I got it. --Kanashimi (talk) 11:27, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Could you double check that your commit do work as intended ? --Misc (talk) 16:40, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

@Misc: Thank you for report. I have check the edits and it seems the bot edits in a interval of 5 seconds. But it seems there are other bots editing on high speed much more than cewbot at that time 1 2. Maybe it is not only the cewbot caused this situation? However, I may stop the task if need. Please let me know if the situation is difficult and we must stop it. --Kanashimi (talk) 21:53, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

I do not think cewbot is causing trouble, that's clearly another bot for sure given the edit rate at that time (and I notified the owner). It just that given your bot behavior who differ from most others bots, I suspect there is a different behavior, coming either from different config, or different code. It look like others bot do interpret maxlag differently, and stop once maxlag is > 5. Not sure if that's because everybody use default setting of pywikibot, or something else. --Misc (talk) 12:31, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

@Misc: Thank you for the explanation. Since pywikibot using maxlag = 5s, I will respect maxlag = 5s instead of edit_time_interval = 5s from now on. Sorry for causing these troubles. Please tell me if there are still issues. --Kanashimi (talk) 20:20, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Stop adding aliases from ill(interlanguage link) templates

For example sweet and sour (Q104383007) revs April 11,2021 imported from ja.wikipedia by Cewbot. These words in ja.wikipedia are mere transcriptions of English, or copied Chinese words, not Japanese words. Wikipedians use ill(interlanguage link) very casually, so these words can not be automatically treated as an example in any language. There is no hope they can be, no matter how much tweak, and manually finding and correcting the mess is plain overburden for human beings. As have been already demanded from numerous editors before, please just stop adding any aliases. --Wotheina (talk) 03:28, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

How is it determining alias pairs?

I'll open a separate topic because it is a bit technical. Here: Revision as of 04:53, 22 June 2020 "giraffe (Q862089)", Cewbot injected 長頸鹿 again, despite of promised repariment in User talk:Kanashimi/Archive 1#Cewbot add wrong aliases. Tell us how does the bot determine 長頸鹿 and キリン must be synonymous in this example? Is it deduced from the [[:zh:长颈鹿|長頸鹿]], like this?

1. the piped "長頸鹿" has no language qualfier, so it is "must be" a Japanese term
2. the words are piped, so they must be synonyms
3. [[:zh:长颈鹿]] is currently bound to wikidata giraffe (Q862089)
4. therefore, "長頸鹿" must be a Japanese alias in giraffe (Q862089)

--Wotheina (talk) 14:26, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for trace and help to debug. In this case, yes, it is because the [[:zh:长颈鹿|長頸鹿]]. I once tried to fix it. If the link appears as [[:zh:长颈鹿|长颈鹿]], the bot will not mistake the meaning. But it changed back to [[:zh:长颈鹿|長頸鹿]]. Since the sentence of ko do not use link, I remove it. This is very few usages that cause confusion. In my option, this is incorrect usage of wikilink. Just as other bad 仮リンクs, need to be fixed. If we insist on using link in this case, we can append it as reference: <ref>中国語の[[:zh:长颈鹿]]にも参考</ref>, or use Chinese version of w:ja:Template:Enlink instead. And even I do not import as alias as you recommended, we cannot prevent this kind of errors. --Kanashimi (talk) 21:18, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Wrong alias

Hi! Cewbot is keep adding "MVK Zrt." as an English alias for Public transport in Miskolc (Q104883927) however this is wrong. MVK Zrt. is a separately company and it has own Wikidata entity (MVK Zrt. (Q19476)). – balint36 ^{passenger complaints} 23:20, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Alias

Your bot keeps adding the wrong alias to Comic Newtype (Q106094156). I checked the Chinese Wikipedia article and it seems to be pulling it from a different template, so I'm not sure how to go about fixing it. —Xezbeth (talk) 13:08, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

Aliases for 1 (Q199)

Hello. Cewbot just added a few weird aliases for the number one in English [1]. Why were those added? It's the second time that I had to remove them, so this bot is redoing a mistake which I had manually fixed already. Could the bot be configured to not re-add aliases which have been removed before? Best wishes.

Stop your bot immediately

Since your bot is clearly broken, I suggest you stop it immediately. Here you have added incorrect alias for English from Japanese Wikipedia, the bot returns these aliases even after revert (see [12], [13], [14], [15]). I don't know why you keep importing capitalized aliases from Japanese Wikipedia even after dozens of warnings, but your import is clearly incorrect, see Help:Aliases. On your talk page, I see different users who have already warned you about incorrect imports and it seems that nothing has changed, so at this point, if for some reason you do not want to fix your bot, I suggest you stop it, otherwise it would be appropriate to require administrators to block your bot. Thank you for your comprehension. Kirilloparma (talk) 10:48, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Sorry for the trouble. It is caused by the wrong interlanguage link in w:ja:PlayStation 5のゲームタイトル一覧 (you may get the link from summary) and I have fix it just now so the error will not appear again. About this task, please leave your comment at Wikidata:Requests for comment/Is it worth to import labels from interlanguage links of other wikipedia projects to wikidata, thank you. Kanashimi (talk) 11:04, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Personally I have nothing against Japanese Wikipedia. You can continue to import labels and aliases from there, however, you should configure your bot to only recognize aliases that match the Wikidata project guidelines, i.e. you shouldn't pick up capitalized aliases, like this one and attribute them to English aliases. I see that you have fixed the problem for this item, thank you, howewer your bot's code has not been changed yet, so it will still continue to add uppercase aliases for other items anyway (example: added recently) ... As far as I can see from this list, there are dozens of such aliases, so your bot needs to be fixed as I have no idea where else it might add other capitalized aliases. To be honest, I don't understand why on ja.wiki various names are capitalized, perhaps because they have their own guidelines for naming articles, I don't know, but those names should not be included here on Wikidata, see Help:Aliases and Help:Labels. That's it. Regards Kirilloparma (talk) 14:49, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment. The link must exactly point to the target, so this is a mistake in anyway. About your concern, I have modify the code so the bot should not append the alias when the alias is the same with label after lower cased. Kanashimi (talk) 21:24, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Problem is still there

Hello. Sorry for the late response. Thank you for fixing your bot's code last time, however it looks like it's still not fixed. Your bot for some reason keeps adding incorrect aliases (see [16]). Could you try to fix the code again, or at least temporarily stop the bot so that it can be fixed? Regards Kirilloparma (talk) 18:54, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

I am sorry. I thought they were the same in lower case. Now I find they are not, so I must fix link in ja:PlayStation_5のゲームタイトル一覧#2021年. Now the link is fixed and it should not appears again. Kanashimi (talk) 21:59, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Importing aliases from interlanguage links

Hi. I know this is an old issue, and see that you opened an RfC in April, but since it seems rather stale I thought I'd raise it here.

I've had to repeatedly revert (see Special:History/Q1996947) Cewbot's additions of the "Thunder Dome" alias to IMPACT, Muang Thong Thani (Q1996947), since Thunder Dome (Q30339185) is a separate stadium that is not part of the Impact complex (though it's often misunderstood to be). I've followed the links in the bot's edit summaries to remove the templates, but the bot seems to keep finding new ones. Strangely, it also continues to cite zh:Stray Kids as one of the sources, even though I removed the link on that page on 20 October.

I think this case is a good example of problems with the task's conception. People often add interlanguage links to tangentially related topics, and this isn't incorrect in itself, as this is equivalent to using piped links to link to related topics. But it doesn't mean such piped terms are valid aliases, especially when they are already represented by separate Wikidata items. --Paul 012 (talk) 17:12, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for fixing these links. I think this is because that Thunder Dome, Muang Thong Thani (Q30339185) is inside IMPACT, Muang Thong Thani (Q1996947). Especially even the thwiki link of Thunder Dome, Muang Thong Thani (Q30339185) is redirecting to IMPACT, Muang Thong Thani (Q1996947), and there is another red link th:ธันเดอร์โดม in th:ศูนย์แสดงสินค้าและการประชุม อิมแพ็ค เมืองทองธานี. So I think the best solution is to create an article in thwiki so we can link to it. However, when there is not an article exists, all bad links should be removed as you do. In order to prevent later people from not knowing this situation, I described it in more detail. Kanashimi (talk) 20:48, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

English aliases

Your bot has added several English aliases based on a template on the Chinese Wikipedia. When and where was this process approved? I can only find a BRFA about Chinese and Japanese labels. --PhiH (talk) 13:06, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi. The task is using the data of interwiki links to update the labels on wiki, so the language depend on what language the links points to. I guess your main concern is the bot doing something wrong. Please tell me what mistakes the bot made, and I will try to fix them, thank you. And maybe you are interesting join to Wikidata:Requests for comment/Is it worth to import labels from interlanguage links of other wikipedia projects to wikidata. Kanashimi (talk) 22:13, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

I'm concerned about a your bot executing a task that was never approved by the community and that I can't make any sense of. The idea of adding aliases in Chinese and Japanese from these templates makes sense to me but I don't understand how you could get an English alias from there. Sure, I stumbled across this issue after this edit (which was incorrect) but I don't understand how you could get an alias in a different language at all. There are three parameters in zh:Template:link-de:

1. The link to the Chinese article that doesn't exist yet
2. The link to a different Wiki, in this case the German one
3. The text displayed, for a piped link

None of these parameters provide an alias in a language other than Chinese. I don't understand how you intend to use this. --PhiH (talk) 13:01, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

The problem we had before the bot added them was that some people with Latin script names were described in jawiki, but the item didn't have the information (the sitelink being to a Japanese language title). The bot remedied this situation. --- Jura 13:09, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the reporting. The article is translated from dewiki, and the link expression should be {{Link-de|ZUB 121|ZUB 121|ZUB}}. I just fixed it. The original link text is {{Link-de|ZUB|Zugbeeinflussung}}, it is wrong, means de:Zugbeeinflussung should link to zh:ZUB. Since these are latin alphabets, the bot treat it as English. English abbreviations are something very common in Chinese and Japanese. After all, this is a wrong alias caused by the interwiki link that need to fix. Thank you for your attention so we can improve wikipedia. Kanashimi (talk) 13:43, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, but that still doesn't explain how this task is supposed to work. In this particular case, there was an issue with the article that caused the wrong edit, that's not what why I came here. How does the bot conclude that something is an English alias in general? Piped links can be used in various ways and if they are the basis for these edits, this task does more harm than good. --PhiH (talk) 18:07, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

You are right. I have modify the code, so the bot will not import alias in this kind of cases. Kanashimi (talk) 21:18, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

How are you picking up Japanese aliases for a Wikidata item that isn't sitelinked to a Japanese Wikipedia article?

Please look at the history of this Wikidata item. The Wikidata item is about a barangay (like a village) in the Philippines, but your bot keeps on adding a Japanese label of the island where the village is located to the Wikidata item. I don't think this is correct. —seav (talk) 07:49, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

PubMed bot

Currently, your bot processes ~1550 PubMed ids each day and made 34-90 edits for each item. At the current speeed it will require more than 20000 days (about 54 years) to proceed all PubMed IDs. Please squash all edits of an item to one single edit. This will allow all IDs to be proceeded in only 400-500 days. You still may not make more than 90 edits each minute.

Other notes:

• There are recently imported articles from other sources, with DOI but not PubMed ID. Before importing from PubMed/PMC please check whether such items exist. (and some such items may be imported with a lower-case DOI; while there are bots correcting them, they may not be found before fixed if case sensitive search is used.) Also, duplicate articles (with same DOI and title) may exist in PubMed/PMC and thus an item may have more than one IDs.
• If an author have ORCID not found in Wikidata a new item may be created. But before that please check whether the ORCID is valid (to prevent constraint violations).
• Same for journals not found in Wikidata (especially if new articles are imported).

--GZWDer (talk) 21:36, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Note also KrBot does sometimes processes some cleanup: removing dots from labels (including a few ones like nl/ast that is copied from English) and title (P1476); and merging items with duplicated DOI and titles. Note once title is fixed some items like Cytochemical localization of adenylate cyclase and 3′,5′-nucleotide phosphodiesterase in Dictyostelium (Q39932255) will have multiple title (P1476) that is same (case insensitive) and only one should be preserved.--GZWDer (talk) 21:46, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments, I will modify the bot code. About merging all the requests into one, this involves a change in the underlying code mechanism. In particular, sometimes the original attributes must be removed, or be ranked. I will modify and test this part of the code before updating it. I might start by merging some queries, which should reduce requests.

• About DOI, I tried this method, but it is too slow. So I have to back off and search for all-caps or all-lowercase. I am not proficient in SPARQL, do you have any good suggestions?

SELECT DISTINCT ?item ?itemLabel
WHERE {
	?item wdt:P356 ?doi.
	FILTER (UCASE(?doi) = "10.1016/0014-4827(75)90138-X").
	SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en". }
}

Try it!

• When multiple duplicate items are found, the robot will skip the PubMed ID.
• When organizing authors, the bot will first check if the ORCID exists. If the bot is going to create new author items in the future, it will also first check if the ORCID exists.
• For journals that cannot be found, the bot will simply skip the journal without adding it.
• For duplicate titles, I'm going to let the bot delete the "." at the end. About title normalization, sometimes there are symbols that get in the way. For example, in the case of Cytochemical localization of adenylate cyclase and 3′,5′-nucleotide phosphodiesterase in Dictyostelium (Q39932255), perhaps we prefer "'" when searching, but the more formal title seems to use "′". (The two are not identical in Unicode). Do you have any suggestions for this part?

Kanashimi (talk) 00:57, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

• You can get item from DOI using the search API (case insensitive) which have the same effect to do so in the search box. Note 1. please recheck the results as punctuations are ignored in search; 2. The API may return error if it is too busy (check if there are batchcomplete). Also there are bots fixing the items so only a small number of newly created items have lower-case DOIs.
• In any case do not add another title statement (especially if the two titles are identical if all non-letters are removed). If the existing title value ends with dot it should still be fixed. GZWDer (talk) 18:07, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

  Also personally I don't think it is a good idea to add qualifiers (other than series ordinal (P1545)) to cites work (P2860) as the same information already exists at the target item. GZWDer (talk) 18:12, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

  PS: See here if you want to change multiple things in one edit. GZWDer (talk) 20:31, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

  Thank you very much for your comments. It doesn't seem like a good idea to import "'" and "′" at the same time. Would it be better to use "′" (and other symbols like this case) instead of the more easily searchable "'"? Kanashimi (talk) 21:51, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

The incorrect alias Special:Diff/1671881670 has been reverted many times, and not knowing Chinese I don't know how to correct the source page.

In this case it was an error at zh:跨Wiki链接, it should be fixed now. Regardless of that, even if the template on that page was correctly used, it still wouldn't make sense to add this alias. This isn't an issue with articles on Wikipedia, the underlying concept of the bot makes no sense. --PhiH (talk) 12:19, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

On descriptions for scientific articles in Ukrainian

Hi, Kanashimi. Your bot Cewbot adds descriptions for scientific articles in Ukrainian like this: "наукова стаття опублікована 7 серпня 1976 р." (Neurologic disorders responsive to folic acid therapy (Q24680377)). The issue of these descriptions was discussed in the Ukrainian Wikipedia here.

As a result of the discussion, it was decided to give the description as "наукова стаття, опублікована 7 серпня 1976" (with a comma and without " р."). See also here.

I plan to make the appropriate substitutions in Wikidata. With best regards --Renamerr (talk) 10:21, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Citations to journals rather than articles

Hi @Kanashimi I've just noticed some odd things on items Cewbot added. For example, Cladistic analysis of ribosomal RNAs — the phylogeny of eukaryotes with respect to the endosymbiotic theory (Q41439281) includes a citation to Zeitschrift fur Mykologie (Q27714299) (citation number 9). I assume that this is intended to represent a citation to an item that doesn't exist in Wikidata and doesn't have a DOI?

I understand the desire to add these, but can I suggest that this is not the best way to do it? It implies that the article cites a journal rather than an article in the journal (the same thing happens for Bulleromyces genus novum (Tremellales), a teleomorph for Bullera alba, and the occurrence of mating in Bullera variabilis (Q31158621)). Perhaps the solution is to use placeholder for "somevalue" (Q53569537) and have the journal as another qualifier. I experimented with something similar here: Ridleyandra merohmerea (Gesneriaceae), a new species from Kelantan, Peninsular Malaysia (Q42258926). I think this better captures what you are modelling - we have a citation that isn't in Wikidata but we want to add it in the hope that one day someone will add it. This is, in fact, how stumbled across this issue because I am looking to add all the articles for Zeitschrift fur Mykologie (Q27714299) to Wikidata. Rdmpage (talk) 09:46, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Can you do a demo edit on Cladistic analysis of ribosomal RNAs — the phylogeny of eukaryotes with respect to the endosymbiotic theory (Q41439281)? In addition, since Crossref does not provide a paper title, the robot cannot fill in the title when editing. Kanashimi (talk) 11:28, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Disabling Cewbot on certain pages

Since there's probably no way to stop editors from keeping adding incorrect interlanguage links, is there a way to add the nobots flag or something to disable Cewbot from editing certain pages, like IMPACT, Muang Thong Thani? Or maybe better but more complicated, could it perhaps check properties such as different from and has part(s) to see if the aliases it's trying to add already belong to those other items, and not add them if so? I.e., in this case, IMPACT, Muang Thong Thani is different from Thunder Dome, Muang Thong Thani, so the bot should not add Thunder Dome and Thunder Dome, Muang Thong Thani as aliases for IMPACT, Muang Thong Thani, as it has repeatedly done. --Paul_012 (talk) 22:20, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

I understand that you often feel frustrated with dealing with this issue. However, I think this is an opportunity for us to correct our mistakes. The error occurred in zh:ATEEZ, which I have already corrected. I think the bot just provided a warning to indicate that we did not distinguish them clearly. If I'm not mistaken, the th:ศูนย์แสดงสินค้าและการประชุม อิมแพ็ค เมืองทองธานี (exhibition center) is divided into th:อิมแพ็ค อารีน่า เมืองทองธานี (IMPACT Arena, Muang Thong Thani) and th:ธันเดอร์โดม (Thunder Dome, Muang Thong Thani)? However, as you can see, there is already ambiguity in the entry like nl:Impact Arena, which may have made an incorrect description. I think a big problem is that th:ธันเดอร์โดม has not been created yet, but it has been used as a venue for many (Korean celebrity) concerts, which has caused confusion for many people. Maybe I'm also mistaken, because I'm not familiar with these venues either. I think the fundamental solution is to create th:ธันเดอร์โดม, and clearly explain the differences and indicate the various aliases of these locations in the English and Thai entries, so that editors won't be confused. This way, there is no need to make special arrangements, and you will no longer be troubled by these issues. Kanashimi (talk) 01:10, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Cewbot is converting "比特" to "位元" when importing labels/aliases

I first noticed this at Sean Bobbitt (Q766802). Then it came to me that this could be a general mistake. For example, See Traditional Chinese labels of Bettye LaVette (Q453456) and Bitlis Vilayet (Q1587075). Or try typing "位元" in the search box. GnolizX (talk) 07:11, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

This is a serious problem. I checked and found that it was because there was a time when I had a problem with the Chinese conversion program I was using. Although I corrected the error later, unfortunately I made a lot of wrong edits at that time. Thank you for the reminder. I will take the time to change these wrong edits back. Now the program should be correct, if you find any new error editing, please tell me immediately, thank you. Kanashimi (talk) 05:16, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi, this follows our last topic. See Role of skin in locomotion (Q7360643) for example. GnolizX (talk) 17:32, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

I think it was a code error a few years ago. I'll have a look again. Kanashimi (talk) 21:53, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

（bumper cars）

You bot repeatedly adds “（bumper cars）” as a Japanese alias to bumper car (Q547376). Nothing is Japanese in this, except for the parentheses, which shouldn’t be part of the alias in the first place, neither Japanese (wide) nor English (narrow) ones. Please monitor edit reverts of the bot and don’t let the bot redo the same mistake again and again. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 00:08, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

I'm sorry to have caused you trouble. I have changed the code. Kanashimi (talk) 01:10, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

关于cewbot添加label的不同变体时转换不完全的问题

Kanashimi您好，非常感谢您的机器人对本站的贡献。您的机器人在导入label时，某些时候会在一些中文变体（zh-hant/zh-hans）中添加不属于这个变体的字符。您可以参考12这两个过滤器的日志来协助分析。希望您可以早日修复这一问题。再次感谢您的参与。 Stang^★ 09:23, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

當原詞彙轉換成繁體之後與原詞彙不同，機器人便會將原詞彙視為簡體詞彙。但假如原詞彙其實是繁體的，就會發生這些問題。我再找時間看看能不能修改。 Kanashimi (talk) 09:37, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

this looks strange. the target is not a scholarly article. could you please check again? RZuo (talk) 08:04, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

It looks like it might have been Epidemiology of Gonorrhoea: Serogroup, Antibiotic Susceptibility and Auxotype Patterns of Consecutive Gonococcal Isolates from Ten Different Areas of Sweden (Q39341334)? The data of crossref cuts the title off... Kanashimi (talk) 00:12, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Impact Arena

Hi. Impact Arena and Thunder Dome, Muang Thong Thani now have Thai-language Wikipedia articles at th:อิมแพ็ค อารีน่า เมืองทองธานี and th:ธันเดอร์โดม, respectively. Could you please change the incorrect interlanguage links on the Chinese Wikipedia to point to these instead, in order to stop Cewbot from repeatedly adding the incorrect aliases to IMPACT, Muang Thong Thani? Paul_012 (talk) 14:46, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Sure.  Done Kanashimi (talk) 22:50, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. It seems you simply added the aliases to the correct Wikidata items. Is that enough to prevent the bot making further additions, without modifying the template links on zhwiki? --Paul_012 (talk) 01:10, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Apparently not, as the bot is still making these edits. What needs to be done seems to be fixing the Zhwiki articles, e.g. in the zh:X JAPAN article, {{link-en|IMPACT展覽館|Impact, Muang Thong Thani}} needs to be corrected to {{link-th|IMPACT展覽館|อิมแพ็ค อารีน่า เมืองทองธานี}}, if there is such a template. I'm not familiar with the Chinese Wikipedia and would appreciate if you could look into this. Thank you. --Paul_012 (talk) 12:39, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

About "Impact體育館", I fixed w:zh:2022年湯姆斯盃, w:zh:2022年優霸盃. About "Thunder Dome" and "Thunder Dome, Muang Thong Thani", I fixed w:zh:SYNK : HYPER LINE, w:zh:Aespa演唱會列表, w:zh:TXT演唱會作品列表. Hope this eliminates the editing error. Kanashimi (talk) 21:40, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Ah, I made a mistake and picked the wrong example, but thank you. --Paul_012 (talk) 17:02, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Guernica (Q26981426)

Please, check the nonsense addition in alias. Thanks. Madamebiblio (talk) 16:44, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I have fixed the source. Kanashimi (talk) 22:10, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

@Kanashimi Please check again. Madamebiblio (talk) 18:01, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

I guess the program was already running when I last modified it and got the wrong data. Please wait until next time to run it. Kanashimi (talk) 21:07, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Article cites a person!?

Hi, I noticed this edit https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q41072923&diff=prev&oldid=1873822412 where Cewbot adds a citation link that is to a person Matthias Numsen Blytt (Q2037491) rather than a publication. I presume this is an error, are you able to fix it? Is this sort of error likely to have happened anywhere else? Rdmpage (talk) 18:49, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for your report. This was a mistake. I have strengthened the robot's audit condition to avoid similar problems in the future. Kanashimi (talk) 22:15, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

About "Akira Toriyama" (Q208582)

Hello,
In Akira Toriyama (Q208582), Cewbot is adding "BIRD STUDIO" as an English alias of Akira Toriyama, importing it from zh:最强Jump. But I think that zh:最强Jump does not really says "BIRD STUDIO = English alias of Akira Toriyama".
Regards --NicoScribe (talk) 16:15, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for your report. I cannot reproduce the problem at the moment, so I may have to take another look at it. Please let me know if this problem persists, thank you. Kanashimi (talk) 23:21, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

The additions by the bot are : 24 June 2020, 18 December 2020, 11 April 2021, 11 August 2022, 19 October 2023, 15 November 2023. zh:最强Jump did not change much since 24 June 2020. --NicoScribe (talk) 21:48, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

Yes, I have observed this problem. I deleted the cache and hope this will solve the problem. Kanashimi (talk) 22:37, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

MUD (Q751424) - new Japanese alias

Hello, Cewbot added a new Japanese alias for MUD. This alias is ニック・ガモン, resolving to Nick Gammon. I'm assuming it's based on the fact that Nick Gammon on the English Wikipedia redirects to w:en:Multi-user dungeon (MUD). However, this redirect is probably set up because this person had something to do with the history of MUDs, not because it's another word for MUD. So I have removed this alias. --Sanqui (talk) 10:46, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

I fixed the link. I think we may have to change w:en:Nick Gammon to a disambiguation page. Kanashimi (talk) 12:31, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

I'm afraid it happened again. I'm not sure how to fix the English Wikipedia page other than requesting deletion for it... --Sanqui (talk)

I cleared the cache to see if that was the problem. --Kanashimi (talk) 21:40, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Please disable adding wrong alias by Cewbot

Please disable adding wrong alias by Cewbot. Cewbot has continued same edit at Q113758420. could you please check the activity of your bot? Mariobanana (talk) 13:39, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

This error was caused by a previous unrelated link, which has now been fixed. I've removed the catch and hopefully fixed the error. Kanashimi (talk) 21:54, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

I think the problem have been fixed, I'll revert in the belief that Cewbot will not repeat the same edits again.

Thank you. Mariobanana (talk) 11:47, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for your trust. Feel free to report back anytime you have a question and I'll check to see what the problem is. Kanashimi (talk) 11:50, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

� UTF error

Hi Kanashimi,

some of your imported articles like A case of testicular feminization with the karyotype 47, XXY (author's transl) (Q67435361) have problems with umlaut (Q160093) in their original language (de).-- Tadarrius Bean (talk) 16:38, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

It looks like the source of the information is already in trouble. I will avoid importing such titles in the future. Kanashimi (talk) 23:15, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Ok, thanks.--Tadarrius Bean (talk) 08:22, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
