Report concerning User:Бучач-Львів

Бучач-Львів (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • SUL (for IP: GUC)) — Reasons: The issue arose on August 1, 2023, when the user changed the consensual name of Ферран Хутгла to Ферран Жуджла without any good reason. Today, bypassing the personal restriction (at the moment he is blocked, including for these actions in the Ukrainian section of Wikipedia), he again adds the missing links to Ферран Жутґла and Ферран Жуджла. Such actions of his are a continuation of the conflicts that take place in the Ukrainian-speaking section, for which he received a six-month ban. So I am asking you to block this user for the continuation of edit wars already here on Wikidata. --Jphwra (talk) 16:42, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

It seems that you do not understand what vandalism is and how wikidata is edited. Besides, there is an unreasonable destruction of a work of art dedicated to Taras Shevchenko, is not vandalism, then what is vandalism? --Бучач-Львів (talk) 11:25, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

It is very bad that the local administrators do not understand what your actions lead to here and why you are blocked in the Ukrainian Wikipedia and for what actions... That is why you use this ignorance, and the adequate editors of the Ukrainian-language section suffer because of your further destructive actions after unblocking.... . Jphwra (talk) 18:01, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

well, you name the article incorrectly, I say that it needs to be corrected and I write the source which I found, if you don’t want to do it - you suffer ... And now when NickK has corrected your mistake, you don’t suffer anymore? --Бучач-Львів (talk) 10:21, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

I think you will be blocked someday for these manipulations. At least I hope so. Even here in your comment you are doing everything to further escalate the conflict. Everything is the same as in the Ukrainian-language section, where you are currently blocked for such destructive behavior. Jphwra (talk) 12:17, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

This is another portion violations of Wikipedia:Etiquette, persecution, and what is the saddest portion of lie from Jphwra. I (not he) first edited this element 20.09.2022. Jphwra wrote an article on Ukrwiki with a deliberately incorrect title Ферран Хутгла. He was paid attention to his mistake, but he did not want to react at all. Recently, an article in Ukrwiki was renamed to Ферран Жутгла. Jphwra removed alternative surname names from an element for no good reason. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 07:23, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

@Ymblanter:, @Bovlb, HakanIST, Martin Urbanec: The user absolutely deliberately continues the wars of editing and manipulation: 1) https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q110200714&diff=prev&oldid=1957892985 2) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Talk:Q110200714, I ask the administrators to stop such actions of the user. In addition, the user was blocked for life on four wikipedias and until February on the Ukrainian wikipedia precisely for such actions. --Jphwra (talk) 04:21, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
@Ymblanter:, @Bovlb:, @HakanIST:, @Martin Urbanec: Dear administrators, I strongly urge you to stop the vandalism and provocations from the user: Buchach-Lviv. He leaves too many provocative names from him that lead to conflicts in the Ukrainian-language Wikipedia. --Jphwra (talk) 21:24, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

@Jphwra: It's unclear to me why you believe that the edits are vandalism. If you claim that a certain edit is vandalism, you should argue for why you believe it's vandalism and not just claim that it is. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 00:30, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

@ChristianKl: currently the user is blocked in Ukrainian Wikipedia. His changes do not correspond to reality or are such that there may be a continuation of the conflicts that he creates here with his changes. Maybe it's not vandalism, but destructive behavior. In any case, I think it would be appropriate to block the user until February 6, 2024 in order to reduce the negative impact of his actions today and in the future. Thank you. --Jphwra (talk) 05:52, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

@Jphwra basically you first make accusations and then when asked to justify them "maybe my accusations are not true, but you should still block him. To me this suggests that there's no need to do anything from Wikidata admin side. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 22:48, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

@ChristianKl: stop his destructive edits that lead to conflicts, whether you call them vandalism or destructive doesn't matter. The fact remains that conflicts are created here on Wikidata and both projects suffer mutually. It's up to you to decide. You can also read this. --Jphwra (talk) 04:14, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

@ChristianKl: in fact, manipulations from the user began at the bottom, as it usually happened before the blocking in the Ukrainian-language Wikipedia. Your right now how to leave it or there will be a flow of manipulations and lies or it will disappear. --Jphwra (talk) 09:50, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

below are diffs that clearly prove your, Jphwra, deception and that you still don't know how to edit on Wikidata. More than one ukrwiki administrator has already written about the fact that my blocking on Ukrwiki is wrong. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 11:32, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

In fact, no one contested your ban, moreover, it was confirmed by the majority of administrators who are aware of the events on Wikidata. And this is yet another manipulation on the part of Бучач-Львів. Administrators of Vikidata, I really ask you to stop this trash from him. Thank you. Jphwra (talk) 13:05, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Transliteration of spanish and portuguese names into cyrillic writing system is permanent problem. For Russian language is exist detailed rules, for using in controversal cases without trusted sources. See Q4204161 as example. If similar rules for Ukrainian Language still not formulated, there is reasonable using name of article in uk-WP as primary label, and another variants as aliases. Kaganer (talk) 01:03, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

@Kaganer: the fact is that Бучач-Львів ignores any language recommendations. Jphwra (talk) 05:40, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

@Kaganer: In fact the fact is that Jphwra is obsessed with the desire of wanting me to be blocked, does not know the rules of Wikidata very well and once again wrote a lie. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 08:49, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

@Бучач-Львів Ok, maybe. But since he made specific claims, let's look at your edits on their essence:

1. Ferran Jutglà (Q110070377) - your edit added two aliases "Ферран Жутґла" and "Ферран Жуджла" (like as Russian label).
   • My question: these variants is used in the ukraine-language publications? If not, what's the basis for this?
   • My conclusion:  Neutral, rather  Support (seems realistic). But there is preferably based on sources rather than what you personally hear. And maybe Russian transliteration is not very valid alias for Ukrainian, by default.
2. Ivan Shvets (Q12171412) - your edit Major improving (diff from @Jphwra was incorrect - giving single edit from set ).
   • My question: Why removed "es" and "sq" labels (was added with "nl" transliteration)? No valid reason for this.
   • My conclusion:  Neutral, rather  Support, but needs to restoring "es" and "sq" labels (or explain deletion)
3. Ivanna Blazhkevych (Q4087950) - your edit Major improving, including correction of citizenship data (diff from @Jphwra was incorrect - giving single edit from set ).
   • My conclusion:  Support
4. Shanghai (Q8686) - your edit You added ukrainian alias "Шамґай", but this form is not mentioned in the uk-WP (by relevant sitelink)
   • My conclusion:  Neutral, rather  Support. But these aliases should be relevance to linked wiki-article content (even with mentions or notes).
5. Ferguson (Q2694490) - your edit You move Ukrainian label "Фергюсон" (equal to name of linked wiki-article) to aliases and replace this to "Ферґусон", preferred by You.
   • My conclusion:  Oppose.
6. HNK Hajduk Split (Q181216) (football club) - your edit You replace Ukrainian label (equal to name of linked wiki-article) to one from aliases, preferred by You. And You didn't even carry that into the aliases list.
   • My conclusion:  Oppose.
7. Hajduk (Q1783151) (disambiguation) - your edit Major improving, but added Ukrainian label that not equal to name of linked wiki-article; and alias also not present (but value added into round brackets in description).
   • My conclusion:  Neutral, rather  Support, but label should be linked with the wiki-article (IMHO). By my experience, round brackets in description is used not very systematically. I'm avoiding this.

My summary: no one cases, that may be clarified as "vandalism". Some edits seems as not quite optimal, but this is in scope of "regular works", and may be disputed or discussed case by case. Kaganer (talk) 20:25, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

@Бучач-Львів, my advice: if you is not agreed with the article naming in the Ukraine WP, it is still not right for you to ignore their practice. You need to achieve unblocking and rebuild your relationship with the uk-WP community. And further patiently promote your approach, gaining support (or, maybe, accept the conventional name in some cases). "Make Wiki, not war".
Also for You may be productive to starting project of adaptation guidelines from this category for language pairs with Ukrainian (with brings specialists and proofed sources). Kaganer (talk) 20:39, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

@Kaganer: Thank you for your time, analysis and advice. I will try to do everything as well as possible. Sorry, I can write a more detailed answer later. Good luck. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 08:14, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

@Kaganer: about Ivan Shvets (Q12171412). As far as I know the transliteration in the Dutch language, the option Ivan Trofimovitsj Sjvets is a transliteration from the Russian language (ru. Иван Трофимович Швец). Ukr. Іван Трофимович Швець = ndl (du). Ivan Trofymovytsj Sjvets. The main option is Ivan Sjvets. That's why it needs to be fixed and that's why I removed these options as the main ones "es" and "sq" labels. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 09:26, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

But You could have just added more correct value into main label for all three cases. Improvement is more preferable that deletion. Current state is fine. Kaganer (talk) 10:06, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

@ChristianKl: I will give only two example when Jphwra wrote an outright lie to me. 1) That's what he accused me of vandalism. Ivanna Blazhkevych (Q4087950) was born 1896, died 1977. Ukraine appeared in 1991... 2) Jphwra 1 + Jphwra 2. Since this is an alternative name, as far as I understand, it is not necessary to write the source. But I wrote link - in a comment to this my edit. Please see P. 3. Китайский страйк. genitive - Шамґаю. So, the nominative — Шамґай. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 09:12, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

But in fact, these last two (maybe even three) edits by Jphwra here are vandalism. however, he writes not true that I did the vandalism [1]. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 11:17, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

you vandalized AGAIN Jphwra (talk) 13:02, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Бучач-Львів, do you ever admit your mistakes? And in general, do you respond adequately to criticism? I haven't seen this from you in 11 years. Jphwra (talk) 14:30, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

@Kaganer: Thank you for the detailed review of the edits, but here is a recent example of a new destructive edit from a user: Ґаліна Юзєфовіч. That is, this edit was made today, September 13, 2023. At the moment when his questions regarding the expediency of such amendments for today and in the future are being resolved. I do not find any data about such writing (Ґаліна Юзєфовіч). That is, he deliberately continues the policy of pushing his own vision both to Wikidata and to Wikipedia in general. Confessing in this way the politics of conflict, and not finding dialogue. Therefore, unfortunately, I am once again forced to ask the question about the expediency of his edits here. --Jphwra (talk) 20:13, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

@Jphwra: You again said nothing about why you believe the edit that added an alias to be destructive. Please stop doing that. If you want to argue that an edit is "vandalism" or "destructive", argue for that thesis. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 09:46, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

@ChristianKl: I heard you, in the future I will write about "incorrect spelling", but such additions lead to conflicts with us in Wikipedia, which is why it is blocked there again. --Jphwra (talk) 15:07, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

@Jphwra, "destructive edit" is very very strong statement - you shouldn't write like that just because you disagree with something. You may using "controversal" or "disputed" or "unreasonable", so as not to obscure the essence with your emotional assessment.
As far as I know, there are some dialectal differences between regions in Ukrainian, e.g. how extent "plosive /g/" (Ґ) is used. Also i know, that preferential use of "plosive /g/" is characteristic of western regions (Galicia), and his account name may hints at his attraction to this tradition.
I'm seen, that @Бучач-Львів also edited Galina (Q123699) by adding alias "Ґаліна", that is not meet in w:uk:Галина. Right, this is not very fine. @Бучач-Львів, please explain your approach here. Just because "you hear it that way" cannot be a sufficient basis for such edits. This should be based on the tradition of writing that particular word in that way. Unless you can cite an reliable/authoritative source for such writing, you should not attempt to start such a tradition here. Kaganer (talk) 10:46, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

@Kaganer, ChristianKl: well, I will try to avoid the words "vandalism" and "destructive", but I draw attention to the fact that such editing of it leads to conflicts in the Ukrainian-language Wikipedia. And in the end, in August, he received another ban for such actions. So I draw your attention to this very moment. --Jphwra (talk) 15:07, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Calling something incorrect isn't creating much progress if you aren't providing any explanation. I don't know anything about the merits of different transliteration of Ukrainian.

I think Kaganer's request for Бучач-Львів to justify why he believes that a certain alias makes sense to add, is exactly the kind of way you approach a conflict like that. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 16:06, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

I apologize to those who don't know the Russian language, but my knowledge of the English isn't enough to give an accurate answer @Kaganer:, but my knowledge of Russian will be enough. I will duplicate the answer below using Google Translate.
По мнению украинских филологов, есть два основных способа транслитерации русских и белорусских имён, отчеств и фамилий в украинском языке. Основной - и он прописан в Украинском правописании 2019 (укр. Український правопис 2019) - это их написание согласно с украинкими традициями (можно сказать - украинизация). То есть, например, русс. Марина = укр. Марина, русс. Галина = укр. Галина, русс. Владимир = укр. Володимир, русс. Сергей = укр. Сергій, русс. Василий = укр. Василь, русс. Игорь = укр. Ігор, русс. Евгений = укр. Євген и т. д. Другой способ (метод) можно встретить куда реже, насколько знаю, он не прописан в Украинском правописании 2019 - это транслитерация буквами украинской азбуки. То есть, напр.: русс. Марина = укр. Маріна, русс. Галина = укр. Ґаліна, русс. Владимир = укр. Владімір, русс. Сергей = укр. Сєрґєй, русс. Василий = укр. Васілій, русс. Евгений = укр. Євґєній и т. д. Этот метод используют, насколько знаю, некоторые украиские издания (например, Zbruč (Збруч)). Примеры: Маріна, Владімір, Сєрґєй, Васілій, Євґєній. Вот именно поэтому я и написал как альтернативный вариант Ґаліна Юзєфовіч.

Google translate. According to Ukrainian philologists, there are two main ways of transliterating Russian and Belarusian names, patronymics and surnames in the Ukrainian language. The main one - and it is spelled out in Ukrainian spelling 2019 (Ukrainian spelling 2019) - is their spelling in accordance with Ukrainian traditions (one might say - Ukrainization). That is, for example, rus. Марина = ukr. Марина, rus. Галина = ukr. Галина, rus. Владимир = ukr. Володимир, rus. Сергей = ukr. Сергій, rus. Василий = ukr. Василь, rus. Игорь = ukr. Iгор, rus. Евгений = ukr. Євген, etc. Another method can be found much less frequently, as far as I know, it is not spelled out in the Ukrainian spelling 2019 - this is transliteration with the letters of the Ukrainian alphabet. That is, f. e.: rus. Марина = ukr. Маріна, rus. Галина = ukr. Ґаліна, rus. Владимир = ukr. Владімір, rus. Сергей = ukr. Сєрґєй, rus. Василий = ukr. Васілій, rus. Евгений = ukr. Євґєній, etc. This method is used, as far as I know, by some Ukrainian publications (for example, Zbruč (Zbruch)). Examples: Маріна, Владімір, Сєрґєй, Васілій, Євґєній. That’s exactly why I wrote Ґаліна Юзєфовіч as an alternative. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 07:02, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

@Kaganer, ChristianKl: The fact is that all of his changes that I mentioned in accordance with our policies (I mean the Ukrainian-language section) are controversial and he is well aware of this and nevertheless continues to push through Wikidata. Just like his latest edit, where he also gives conversing versions that will obviously conflict. Because it is an anachronism, it is completely inappropriate here and these are not authoritative sources. Therefore, I strongly ask you to react in this way to these actions of the user. --Jphwra (talk) 15:20, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

@Бучач-Львів, if "Another method can be found much less frequently", that in which authoritative sources it can be found? You listed one single site. What else? Is there any reason why such a rare approach is worth mentioning (and causing conflict)? Advocacy of marginalized concepts (including in linguistics) - this lies outside the scope of Wikidata. Kaganer (talk) 21:34, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

@Jphwra question for You: If this option rare and unofficial, but acceptable (and used by someone), why can't it be specified as an alias? Kaganer (talk) 21:38, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

This is a little-known publication of local importance. So that you understand, this is just a small-town newspaper, not an encyclopedia or dictionary of a language university, etc. That is, it cannot be an authoritative source because it actually contains errors. Actually, because of this, he received several restrictions in the Ukrainian-language Wikipedia, in particular, he was prohibited from renaming, because he gave the names to the articles just according to his own preferences. Jphwra (talk) 04:34, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

@Kaganer, ChristianKl: Jphwra accused me of vandalism without any reason. I don't see his apology... in fact, Jphwra is pushing his POV here, misleading you, using even banal deception (because Zbruč (newspaper) (Q25444886) is not a local publication, among the authors are, for example, Shevchenko National Prize (Q2473104) Shevchenko Prize laureates  Taras Prokhasko (Q2029665), Vitaly Portnikov (Q1965178), famous Ukrainian writers Yuriy Ihorovych Andrukhovych (Q452371), Yuriy Vynnychuk (Q2028631) and others;  the fact that Jphwra called Lviv (Q36036) a small town is already just that this doesn’t fit into any framework at all..... How much longer will the persecution and other violations from Jphwra continue here? He isn't interested in philological issues (his main interest is sports), he knows the Ukrainian language worse than I do (at one time before he contemptuously called me a “philologist”). The same applies to what he says, including the ban on me renaming articles (this biased and unconstructive decision was made primarily under pressure from a group of administrators, and not on the basis of logical arguments, as a result, there are now many articles on the Ukrwiki about obvious mistakes regarding Poland, which I could have improved, but...). --Бучач-Львів (talk) 07:41, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

@Kaganer: in general, one of the main conflicts in Ukrwiki is spelling. Some users still want to write in the old spelling and ignore the new one. Also ignore various authoritative sources, calling them non-authoritative, marginal, small-town, anachronistic, etc. Without any reason...  A linguist who talks about different translation methods is Oleksandra Serbenska (Q12152197) (ukr. Олександра Сербенська, doctor of philological sciences, professor of the Ivan Franko Lviv National University etc.). I read this point of view of hers in an interview with her several years ago, in the all-Ukrainian newspaper Express Ekspres (Q1323624) (ukr. Штифурко Т. «Володимир» чи «Владімір» Путін?  in  Експрес. 2016.  № 41 (8700) (2—9 черв.). — С. 2.). Unfortunately, I can’t find the link to the article. More about transliteration. Here is another well-known resource Zaxid.net (Q12073033), where it is transliterated in this way, for example, Міхаіл (Mikhail). Is Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (Q485500) also a "small-town newspaper"? Міхаіл (Mikhail). This refutes Jphwra's claim that these are obvious errors. No, it's a tradition that linguist talk about. Therefore, such variants of translation into Ukrainian cann't be considered as the main ones, but must be considered as alternative ones. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 07:41, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

@Kaganer, ChristianKl: As you can see from these two posts, he does manipulation for him, of course. The Zbruch edition is not an author's source, I don't recall that it was referred to in our Wikipedia, so it is a common practice of this user to bypass the personal restrictions he has in the Ukrainian-language section. In view of the rather long discussion that has already gone round and round, I ask the administrators to decide whether he will continue to create conflicts to which he will return after unlocking on February 6, 2024, or whether these manipulations and creating conflicts should stop. Honestly, I am fed up with these attacks from a user blocked from us on Wikipedia, who continues to attack me here and sow conflicts. --Jphwra (talk) 10:36, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

@NickK: вітаю чи можеш ти надати відповідь добротною англійською мовою щодо цих маніпуляцій Бучач-Львів, того що він перетворив обговорення на черговий треш ходячи по колу, як це зазвичай робить в україномовному розділі просто виснажуючи опонентів, що має місце тут на даний момент. Буду дуже вдячний бо тут якійсь не просто цинізм з боку Бучач-Львів, а відверта неправда по багатьтох аспектах, власне як завжди. --Jphwra (talk) 10:36, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

I would say there is definitely a problem in Бучач-Львів's actions where he puts a Wikidata Ukrainian label which is not equivalent to the ukwiki article name, as a (sort of) a less visible way to promote a version he did not succeed pushing in ukwiki. This is not a deliberate vandalism, but long-term this becomes destructifs because it increases discrepancies on Wikidata, not reduces them. And second point, names are a mess on Wikidata, but pushing a (non-consensual but popular theory) that Russian names are not transliterated but translated does not help resolve this mess — NickK (talk) 10:44, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

That's right... And what about the sources? What pushing are you talking about? it won't suit you (uk. вам)... when there is no source - you (uk. ви) say: "Write the source". When I write a source, you say, "This could be a problem in the future"... Do Wikipedians make predictions? There is a history! We can't change it and we have to know it! that's why I write alternative names. And I do not violate the New spelling. Unlike some administrators (I'm not talking about you) and Ukrwiki users. Regarding, for example, Васілій etc. That's a question for Ukrainian writers and journalists etc. They write like this, and Wikipedia reflects it only. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 11:04, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

in fact, again Jphwra's own POV, manipulations, baseless predictions, etc., not arguments. Is Lviv a small town? My last wikipedia ban resulted in the administrator who blocked me being first warned by another administrators that the decision was wrong, and then asked to remove his admin rights. In fact, another baseless insult from Jphwra, not my cynicism. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 10:38, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

You can see one example of how Jphwra do is in the edit history Ferran Jutglà (Q110070377). Here are the sources that confirm that in the Ukrainian language his surname is written as Жуджла. Since this is incorrect from the point of view of translation, this option can only be used as an alternative. But he isn't there now (it was done by Jphwra). And Jphwra doesn't pay attention to the sources at all, which he talks about so often. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 10:52, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

@NickK: There is an easy way out. You've been editing for a long time, you know the users better. Obviously, it's better to involve users-linguist in this discussion. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 11:14, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

even if I get unblocked in Ukrwiki faster, I have no desire to edit there because of systematic insults and harassment etc of Jphwra. Also because some administrators have not noticed his violations for a long time and do not take any measures. I understand that many people do not have time right now, but... and also due to the fact that I'm being harassed by a user who writes articles with errors and doesn't respond to comments that they should be corrected. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 11:53, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

and again manipulation and insults in my direction. It is obvious that the user is not here to improve work, but for manipulation, destructive editing, harassment, etc. This is all that has a place in our wikipedia, as well as in four wikipedias, he is blocked for life. Jphwra (talk) 12:49, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

instead of arguments, you often write what you want to see (and do you want my indefinite blocking). You called Lviv a small town... Do you think this is a constructive conversation? I proved with diffs that you wrong and should apologize for falsely accusing me of vandalism. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 09:51, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

@Jphwra: To me it currently looks that you started insulting him in the beginning of this exchange by falsely claiming that he's engaging in vandalism.

Wikidata's policies are independent of those of individual Wikipedia's. Anachronistic names are completely okay for aliases in Wikidata. While the label should be the most commonly used name, aliases are for all ways of naming the entity that exist in sources. It doesn't matter when those sources are old.

The general goal of Wikidata is to allow people with different views to coexist and not to enforce the views of one group of people as being the authoritative view that everyone has to follow. When it comes to labels of items, I think it makes sense to follow the norms that were developed in Wikipedia, but as far as aliases are concerned having multiple one causes no problems and allow users that want to find an entity under a given name to find it.

@ChristianKl: maybe, but when it is deliberately done for conflicts, it is a strange policy, just look at how many blocks a given user has and all of them are due to the promotion of a particular point of view, and not the desire to show the diversity of the language. I understood one thing that destructiveness is one of the great achievements of this project and one user can cause as much trouble as he wants to others in one wikipedia using for another or wikidata or purpose. Think about it for now. I am sorry to read your answer and that you ignore the number of conflicts that this user has created and will create with his edits here. PS. And another important point: he uses not just synonyms, but terms that are not used at all!!!!!! Jphwra (talk) 04:10, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

@Jphwra And you seem to be uninterested in actually making the case about specific examples which is very unproductive. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 14:57, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

I showed his edits, which are controversial. And later there will be a conflict that has actually started here Бучач-Львів. Jphwra (talk) 15:08, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

@Kaganer, ChristianKl: There is another question. There is a user edit where he mentions the 2017 conflict. And it's happening here at Wikidata, do you think it's constructive? And what consequences should this have? Because the mention of the conflict of 2017, which was in the Ukrainian-speaking section and for the mention of which he would have received a long-term blocking from us. Currently, there are no sanctions against him. --Jphwra (talk) 16:04, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Jphwra. Stop manipulating and telling lies. My violations at that time have nothing to do with you! Were you talking about my violations in 2017, right? Then why can't I talk about your gross violations of 2017? Moreover, for which you have not apologized until now, although I gave you a chance to apologize! And I can easily prove with diffs that you have been haunting me since 2017. Just as it is obvious that he accused me of vandalism without any reason. Well, you have enough blocking too. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 10:24, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

я трохи не зрозумів вашої чергової маніпуляції та випаду в свій бік. Поясніть мені більш детально, особливо ваше переслідуваня мене на фейсбуці в 2018 році, ваше постійне переслідування та образи в мій адрес з 2017 року на сторінках нашої Вікіпедії, ваші провокаційні редагування в статтях спортивної тематики тощо. І будь ласка припиніть маніпулювати фактами бо це цинізм вже з вашого боку. Ви заблоковані в нашій вікіпедії, а тут ви і надалі продовжуєте насаджувати власне бачення ігноруючі будь-які джерела. І вас рятує те що, що більшість з цих адміністраторів не розуміє суті питання та суті конфліктів які ви тут породжуєте своїми редагуваннями, а також те що дійсно адміни не розуміють, що ви насправді тут не для покращення, а для маніпуляцій та переслідувань. І це вас, ще раз це повторю, рятує від блокування. І наостанок, я так розумію ви на взяли на озброєння звичайну свою практику з УкрВікі це виснаження опонента та можливе його блокування через можливі випади у ваш бік, так от дуже прошу припинити це та перейти до конструктиву, хоча за 11 років у нас у вікіпедії ви демонстрували завжди протилежні дії. І звернувся українською аби ви зрозуміли хоч щось. Jphwra (talk) 15:45, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Another portion of incorrect, superficial and untrue words. You didn't write so much about compliance with the Rules and justice here. Now I see your obsession with wanting me to be blocked, and you do a lot of bad things for it... I don't have the time or desire to communicate with a user who behaves so badly. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 11:11, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

you don't have time... But there is plenty of time to persecute, write untruths, make controversial edits and once again: you are saved by the ignorance of these administrators of the Ukrainian language in order to understand who they are really dealing with. Because you always say black for white and vice versa... And it's a shame that you really haven't been blocked here yet. Jphwra (talk) 16:58, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

@Jphwra It's unclear why mentioning a 2017 should have any consequences. What rules do you think are violated by it? Can you please link to the rules that you feel are violated by it? ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 14:58, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

there is a whole discussion in Ukrainian and you are unlikely to understand the essence. But in short, we are talking about the conflict of 2017, in which Бучач-Львів persecuted another user from the Ukrainian-language section, as well as me as an administrator. After that, I created the authority of the administrator, and Бучач-Львів continued to harass both me and another user, for which he later got blocked, and there is also a consensus of administrators to block Buchach-Lviv in case he mentions in any way or persecutes the user Flavius1. But if you think that he should do it using Wikidata, then there are no questions. Jphwra (talk) 15:05, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

@ChristianKl: I have a counter question for you: show the point of the rules according to which Buchach-Lviv has the right to harass another user using, at the same time, Facebook and other Wikipedia projects? --Jphwra (talk) 04:19, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

@Kaganer, ChristianKl: By the way, there is another opinion about this user, although it is in Russian, but you should read it: https://ru.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=133168257&oldid=133160772 --Jphwra (talk) 04:22, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

another violation of the rules and untruth from Jphwra on Ukrwiki. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 08:33, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Speaking of that's editing. For now I'll tell about some details. Some of user:Bechamel's words are rude and untrue (ru. дикий зоопарк литературного стиля в статьях and especially ukr. «мовою гуцульского бароко»). There are many articles with errors in Ukrwiki (in particular, Jphwra is one of those authors who, instead of correcting his own errors, sometimes prefers to violate the Spelling and persecute those users, who drew his attention to his errors). What was the fault of the Hutsuls (Q828398) ? Sorry, but something similar to elements of chauvinism (Q226418). Personally, I didn't see any articles written in Hutsul dialect in Ukrwiki. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 08:48, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

It was not me, Q122499132 is deleted by Fralambert. :) Anyway, the sources listed above can't show the notability of Venture Smarter, they just contain the single mentions of this company. At best, these links may show the notability of Jon Morgan (the CEO of V.S.), who is presented there as an expert.
Also, the item had three more links which could've shown the compliances with the notability criteria but it's actually failed: [2] & [3] are blogs (normally we don't recognize blogs as reliable sources), this one is some essay (?) that's written by the CEO himself. --Wolverène (talk) 07:35, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

I'm reporting this here after the two users were confirmed to be engaging in sockpuppetry in an EnWiki sockpuppetry investigation (and subsequently on Commons). The user more or less has solely been dedicated to uploading vectorizations of logos, several of which are based on copyrighted raster files, and then adding them across various wikis (including Wikidata). c:Commons:Requests for checkuser/Case/Moonrivers has a fairly decent summary of the behavioral reasons linking the accounts together with the IPs (it's the same pattern of use to add vectorizations created by the sockmaster to Wikidata, among other places).

I'm filing here, rather than requesting CU, because the two accounts are already confirmed to one another, and because CUs can't confirm IP information publicly. Wikidata:Sockpuppetry states Creating an account just to joke around with, or just to have an alternate account... is still considered an illegitimate use of alternate accounts. The policy also states that, if acts would be considered to be illegitimate use if multiple accounts were used, using an IP address... will also be treated as an illegitimate use. As such, given that there doesn't appear to be cause for the use of multiple accounts here, this appears to the the illegitimate use of alternative accounts and IPs to edit on Wikidata. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 15:52, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Cybersofo (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • SUL (for IP: GUC)) — Reasons: This user keeps trolling and ignoring all the recommendations by other users. His modus operandi is the same of a well-known IP who periodically trolls Italian descriptions here on Wikidata and who was blocked multiple times (two examples: [9], [10], but there are more). ―Alienautic (talk) 13:26, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

@Alienautic: this user account is created already in 2013. It is Italian-language discussion, so it is not easy to interfere. If he sometimes uses IPs and sometimes his user account, then it is suspicious. Maybe we need a checkuser checking here? Estopedist1 (talk) 15:48, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

@Estopedist1: I didn't notice the account was created in 2013, but his edits are all pretty recent (a few edits in 2018 and then again from July 2023). He keeps changing Italian descriptions, and he ignores all the advices by other users. He doesn't care about what other users say and goes on with edit-wars. I'm not 100% sure he's the same disruptive IP, but his actions are literally the same; see also this discussion on my talk page. It's in Italian, but he basically said the he didn't care about recommendations by other users about Italian descriptions. --Alienautic (talk) 20:56, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Luke1437

Honestly, I got a strong whiff of socks the first time I reviewed the contribution history of Luke1437 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • SUL (for IP: GUC)). I have one or two pretty good ideas about the master. But I'm not interested in going back-and-forth in a petty dispute with someone who manages to insult editors with every comment. Can someone else take a dispassionate look at that, and @Madamebiblio is involved here too. Elizium23 (talk) 20:08, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

user is warned. Topic is discussed at User_talk:Madamebiblio#Reverts Estopedist1 (talk) 10:56, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

I totally agree with @Elizium23 that this situations are really distressing for the editors who seriously contribute on Wikidata. In the last three months I have received some uncivil responses: 1, 2 and 3.

I appeal to the administrators to please not to allow this kind of toxic actions in this community. Madamebiblio (talk) 17:16, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Report concerning User:Flandria12

I would like to report disruptive editing by @Flandria12 if I may. User has been lately (I mean for more than 2 months) engaging in disruptive editing in Ingush-related pages, more specifically, changing the descriptions. I will enlist some of them: Fyappiy (despite it being quite literally a consensus in the scientific community that this ethnic group/society is Ingush, he keeps on adding "Chechen"; some examples here, here, here), Troitskaya (despite being warned twice by two different users, @Kaganer and @Ksc~ruwiki, on his talk page that adding "historical details" to the description isn't allowed, he keeps on doing that; examples here, here) Sulumbek of Sagopshi (an Ingush abrek; here he for some reason removed Sulumbek's Ingush ethnicity and didn't explain), Arshty (here changed description to Chechen village and removed mention of Ingushetia, despite the village being in Ingushetia), Chemulga (here he did same thing like in Arshty), Belkharoy (the teip is Ingush according to a number of reliable neutral scholars such as Wimbush, Bennigsen or Gammer, but according to Flandria, no; changing the ethnicity to Chechen here, here, here). I could continue with bringing up many disruptive edits of his but I think this is enough. I should also note, that for some reason, a user who has over 270 000 edits has been engaging in this matter as well, @Takhirgeran Umar, here backing up Flandria12 in making the Orstkhoy "Chechen tukkhum (tribe)" (despite Orstkhoys being present in both nations and some Orstkhoys considering themselves a separate ethnicity from Chechens and Ingush) or in making here a Ingush teip (this opinion is stated by majority, including reliable neutral scholars like Wimbush, Bennigsen, Gammer) Belkharoy Chechen. Overall, I also request adminstrators to protect these pages.

PS:I apologize if I wrote this in the wrong place and if I made some mistakes during the report, this is my first time reporting an incident in wikidata. Best regards, WikiEditor1234567123 (talk) 14:59, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Down the rabbit hole

Examined closer the user who recently had his share of fun defacing this page. He or she knows the internet well. The first service provider he used explicitly permitted VPN servers and had in total over 1000 IP ranges available, although presumably not all of those were dedicated to hosting or private VPN use. This was a big global provider. The next one was an obscure low-cost cloud provider which does does advertise allowing private VPNs, so I'm not sure they permit this. Not sure why he switched ISPs though, as the first one had truly enormous IP-ranges available which would have been a PITA to manually confirm and block.

Plugging the holes in a colander doesn't make it water-tight. It's a waste of admin effort to block single IPs if it can be reliably determined that the IP-range is exclusively used for hosting services or VPNs. It is extremely rare that these ranges have any legitimate usage, and in the case it does they can edit logged in. Amazon Web Services are consistently blocked globally under the open proxy policy and it should be no different for IP-ranges known to be used exclusively for hosting services and similar. Please note that this is a global policy and not a Wikidata policy. Infrastruktur (talk) 11:43, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
