Makes no sense

Hi, it makes no sence to use a bot, if there are later a lot of informations more, who are mainly false. Q52386313. The bot addes these aliases for english language], said because of ULAn. But ULAN says clearly, these names are for other languages. The interesting thing is for Wikidata: we are here multilingual! It makes no sense to give the french and italian name as english aliasses. And btw - why you give here the italian name as spanish name? And the english name is the correct english name. So all 3 changes were not correct. Then the bot gives names for other langiages. But why for for dutch, german and spanish the italian name? And why never ever the italien name for italian? The german name versions would be "Truro-Maler" and "Truromaler". So also here, all changes were false. And other than stated, not one of them are besed on ULAN. Thi is work, other people have to do more, mistakes, other people need to fix. This ist frustrating. Mistakes can happen, but here is in general something wrong. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 18:41, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Agree! This behavior of the bot has been criticized a couple of times before and it is still as unacceptable as it has been all the time. Indeed, it is unfortunately hard to fix mess once dumped in our nice database afterwards. --Marsupium (talk) 00:10, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

@Marcus Cyron, Marsupium: Finally after all those years ULAN is providing language tags! I've been waiting for that. I looked at http://vocab.getty.edu/page/ulan/500071871 for example: <rdfs:label xml:lang="fr">Peintre de Truro</rdfs:label><rdfs:label xml:lang="it">Pittore di Truro</rdfs:label>. I'll update the bot to use that. Multichill (talk) 09:54, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Thank you! --Marsupium (talk) 20:36, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Q28802888 P350 single value constraint

Ik werk de lijst met P350 single value constraints wat bij. Moet een geval als Q28802888 (5596 is de eigenlijke schildering die door Q28802888 beschreven wordt; 260895 is de verzameling schilderingen waar het deel van uitmaakt) op de lijst van uitzonderingen komen of is het in dit geval beter om 260895 te verwijderen?

Hi, Could you please update this page with your bot? It has not been updated since 8 December 2017 à 19:31‎. Regards, Yann (talk) 12:49, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

bad labels

Martin, It is quite embarrassing that you need to do edits like this. I wonder is there some way to find other issues like that the edits you reverted were all from "#temporary_batch_1553569723267". Perhaps I can do an SQL query to find other edits from that batch. --Jarekt (talk) 17:33, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

@Jarekt: I think you can just undo https://tools.wmflabs.org/editgroups/b/QSv2T/1553569723267/ . Multichill (talk) 10:24, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Aliases

Hello. Your bot is recurrently adding wrong aliases to the page of Jean Petitot (Q556676) For the 100th time « Emails par le célèbre Petitot » is in no way an alias. It is an advertisement on work done by him ("Enamels by the famous Petitot"). Please stop that. Sapphorain (talk) 07:45, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

@Sapphorain: I don't recall you ever mentioning this to me, so not sure why you say for the 100th time.

ULAN considers this a valid alias. If you think that's incorrect, you might want to contact them. Multichill (talk) 08:50, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

No. This proves ULAN doesn't understand French, is not a reliable source, and thus should not invoked for French aliases. "The 100th time is of course a figure of style, but I have been reverting you on that matter a number of times for several months, since apparently you didn't notice. And I will do it again if necessary. Sapphorain (talk) 09:02, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, sure, good luck with that. Multichill (talk) 09:07, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Fine. Suit yourself. When bot trainers have no more capacity of analyzing the absurdity of a situation than their bots, we are getting into big trouble. Sapphorain (talk) 20:31, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

You come here with an attitude and act arrogant about the Getty Research Institute, that's generally not a very good approach to get me to put effort in something.

You did give me a good laugh with the "bot trainers" part. Thanks for that! I'm not really into Pokémon GO myself. Multichill (talk) 20:48, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

You will not be covering up your incompetence by invoking the Getty research institute, or by laughing. Your attitude is pathetic. A mistake must be corrected, it is as simple as that, and there is no arrogance in requiring correction, just common sense. Sapphorain (talk)

Wikidata:No personal attacks. Last and only warning.

You've overstayed your welcome here. Bye bye. Multichill (talk) 22:18, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
