P5008 deletion discussion needs to be closed

Wikidata:Properties for deletion#on focus list of Wikimedia project (P5008) hasn't been edited since 6 April, has a clear consensus, and needs to be closed. Please can an admin attend to that? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:32, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Consensus .. well, the way things transpired have divided us. It shows how badly we communicate with each other. It had people blocked. It had people turn their back to what we aim to achieve. So given that the consensus is "clear", yes please lets turn this black page in our history. Thanks, GerardM (talk) 17:28, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Odd edits from 78.55.25.245 (and related IPs)

This IP (and I believe some nearby IP's) edited a lot of format as a regular expression (P1793) values and the related property constraints over the weekend - see Contributions, for example this edit; see also this edit undoing another user's edit of a formatter, from IP address 78.55.177.69. I don't see that any of these edits were harmful - they seem to preserve the regular expressions in terms of content, while re-ordering the elements. But it's a bit idiosyncratic, and odd for an IP user to be doing this sort of thing. Somebody we've banned? ArthurPSmith (talk) 13:11, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

The anon user has not made a secret of their intention, which was to unify some regular expressions to be able to better search for patterns in them, as well as to make some of them more precise. Not sure whether it is helpful, but as long as it does not harm I would not worry about it.
Based on the topical contributions of the IP user, their excessive workload during the past months (and years), and the ISP of the ranges they use, I have a clear idea who could be the person behind it, and if I am correct it would indeed be a globally banned user (in 2015). However, the contributions as well as their tone look pretty okay these days, as far as I can see. Range blocks would be pretty complicated here anyways, since that banned user has proven to be able to switch IPs swiftly within pretty large ranges. As soon as something goes wrong with their editing this would be the measure to use, but at this point I guess it would be wiser to keep an eye on them, rather to provoke excessive range blocks. —MisterSynergy (talk) 13:54, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

Some kind of mistaken merge at Q638652

Hello, I just noticed that the place Baliya Q638652 is in Nepal while the most of the Wikipedia projects linking here are meant to link a place with the similar name Ballia Q7180187, Uttar Pradesh, India.

PfD

Could another administrator review Pasleim's closure of Wikidata:Properties_for_deletion#Property:P4839. It seems that their conclusion mainly reflects their view expressed in the discussion. This somehow makes my doubt about their other closures of discussions there.
--- Jura 06:51, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Part of the reason Pasleim closed that proposal, @Jura1:, is because the aforementioned page is specifically meant for properties for deletion. If you think the Wolfram Language entity code property should be created, then your nomination of the property (and other properties) on that page as that page is presently named makes little sense. In the interest of keeping your discussions alive just a little bit longer, I will wholeheartedly support a change in the name of that page, in the spirit of enwiki's "templates/redirects/categories/etc. for discussion", to "Properties for discussion". I leave it to you to propose the change on Wikidata:Project chat if you so desire. Mahir256 (talk) 06:24, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
I think it should be deleted and created once we figured out what to do. If the conclusion would be that it should remain but converted to another datatype, this should be stated in the conclusion and implemented that way. The result here is now that we had a messy situation for three months and it hasn't been fixed.

Semiprotection needed

Please semiprotect item Q179658. This is a football team whose branding and history is subject of heated debate among local football fans.

MechQuester & QuickStatementsBot

What's the status of MechQuester? They appear to be blocked, but I just noticed batches by MechQuesterBot running with Magnus Manske's QuickStatementsBot: [3].
--- Jura 09:32, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

Since User:MechQuester is blocked indefinite since April 18, I also blocked:
We first need to discuss how to proceed with User:MechQuester before they can make more edits. —MisterSynergy (talk) 09:55, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
For my batches, I noticed that one needs to enter view that displays a single batch and stop it from there. The button on the summary list didn't work. I haven't followed the story around MQ, so I haven't much of an opinion on the block.
--- Jura 10:21, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
There are at least 20 parallel batches by MechQuesterBot and Tim Hardcastle still running in QuickStatements right now. I can’t see more, because the list ends at 20 entries and I cannot expand it. Right now, no edits are made due to the block.
I should inform @Rschen7754 here, who blocked MechQuester in April. With the Artix Kreiger accounts the user has made millions of edits this year at a rate which caused lots of server strain. As far as I understand the current edit rate limitations were also, but not exclusively, added due to MechQuesters edit behavior.
Anyway, MechQuester should not evade an indefinite block with new or unblocked accounts. If they want to edit again, they should request unblock, preferentially at User talk:MechQuester, and convince the community that there will not be another abusive behavior involving multiple accounts (as again in this case), and no excessive edit rates in their batches. —MisterSynergy (talk) 10:31, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
I removed the bot flag.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:37, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

  Info there is an unblock request by MechQuester on their user talk page. I ask fellow admins to have a look, and inform particularly @Rschen7754, Jasper Deng who have recently blocked MechQuester’s “fresh start” accounts named “Artix Kreiger” indefinitely due to socking. As far as I know, MechQuester’s socking at Wikidata has never been as severe as in other projects, and the “fresh start” Artix Kreiger accounts were relatively easy to identify as alternate accounts of MechQuester from the very beginning on. The MechQuester account itself has not been blocked indefinitely for socking until April, although the socking activities are know since last summer. Since I think that the user deserves a fair treatment, I suggest to review their current block based on their own statement at User talk:MechQuester. —MisterSynergy (talk) 20:53, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Any admin available to help Wikidata hackathon on Wed 16 May?

Hi, I'm running a Wikidata hackathon on Wed 16 May (1-3pm GMT) as part of the Digital Day of Ideas at the University of Edinburgh so looking to avoid situation whereby multiple new users (digital scholars at the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences) attending these events are not able to create accounts simply and easily or are not able to run mass edits through Quickstatements. Looking to get attendees practising making manual edits and making mass edits to Wikidata. As per last time, I've created a ticket on Phabricator to see if the IP cap can be lifted temporarily and also left a message for sysadmin on IRC because this is short notice. Any advice gratefully received on best way of running this session and future sessions avoiding the IP cap and throttling. Cheers. Stinglehammer (talk) 16:33, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

@Stinglehammer: I'm not an admin, but I am one of the lead organizers of Art+Feminism, so I have confronted this problem before: If you are regularly holding outreach events you should consider applying for Account Creator role, or the soon to be created role, which is designed for exactly this purpose. I don't think AC is widely (if at all) used on Wikidata, but you could potentially apply for them on enwiki and create the accounts on enwiki and they can then use them on Wikidata. --Theredproject (talk) 16:58, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

Request for creating a new tag for edits made by Wikimedia Commons Android app

As part of #252 we are making P18 edits to the corresponding wikidata entity whenever an image is uploaded to commons. We want to maintain a log of all such edits made using the Wikimedia Commons Android App client.

The recent changes list already tags the edits made by the commons app with Mobile app edit, Mobile edit, but these tags are apparently used by other clients as well. Is it possible to create another tag that just the Commons Android app uses? We would start logging the changes with this tag for all edits made through the app. Initially the discussion started here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T195960  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Maskaravivek (talk • contribs) at 21:58, 31 May 2018 (UTC).

Edorado88 also insists on place the number of episodes to emit (but this need to add when program ends, not before). It should be clear that I am not accusing anyone.

@HernánDávalos13: You seem to be seriously misunderstanding the purpose of Wikidata. Correct information should never be deleted from here, wikidata provides information to *all* language wikipedias, as well as to thousands of other users who don't see this data through a wikipedia at all, so it is totally irrelevant what any one language wikipedia chooses to do with their infoboxes. If the data in wikidata is displaying incorrectly in a particular infobox, then the people managing that infobox need to fix the problem, you cannot fix the problem by editing things in wikidata (unless that data is in fact wrong).

And now Leoncastro is removing the same pieces of data. Can somebody check to see if this is a sockpuppet operation, or is there massive confusion over in eswiki about this somehow? ArthurPSmith (talk) 13:13, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
Hello. Sorry for my bad english. I received a message in eswiki from HernánDávalos13 to review the changes in this entry. I did a neutral review (even I am not interested in this topic). I did a cleanup of the false parameters and put real data with their respective sources. I have not deleted any data with real references. I am a trusted user of eswiki, I am not a sockpuppet of anyone nor do I have any sockpuppet. My only accounts are Leoncastro and my bot Semibot. Regards. -- Leoncastro (talk) 14:03, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
@Leoncastro: I apologize, I took a quick glance and it looked like you were removing the same things, but I was wrong. Thank you for helping to clear this up! ArthurPSmith (talk) 14:10, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
My changes were:
  1. Added es:aliases «Sin tetas sí hay paraíso», as this is used in Colombia.
  2. Changed “instance of” from «television program» to «television series», because first one caused conflicts with some identifiers.
  3. Changed “genre”, because «television series» is not a valid one, adding «telenarconovela» and «romantic fiction» with external sources.
  4. Added external sources to “original language of work”, “start time”, “production company” and “original network”.
  5. Changed “country of origin” from «Colombia» (country of the original network) and «United States of America» (country of the production company) to only «Colombia» (country of the recording location of the television serie) with an external source.
I hope that this may be enough explanation. -- Leoncastro (talk) 14:21, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
More than sufficient, thanks! If you get a chance, do you think you could look through some of the other recent changes by Suik 2000 mentioned above, it sounds like there might have been some revert warring going on with the IP address that posted this. ArthurPSmith (talk) 14:28, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
Well, I think there are no «unnecessary» data in a database. There are true and false information. Maybe Suik 2000 are deleting the data because are false. I do not know, there are hundreds of editions to review there, and I have no time to do it. Perhaps Suik 2000 can justify his editions here. -- Leoncastro (talk) 15:07, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

To the sysop that resolves this report, please read this exposition reflected in my discussion, and also this report in Suik 2000's talk page. Still waiting for Suik's justifications. -- Leoncastro (talk) 03:00, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello, thank you very much for convening me, forgive my bad English too, if I finish writing them until very late because I finish putting together the courage to speak, I usually, usually, eliminate the parameters of << original station >> , << country of origin >>, and << number of episodes >>. Then they like the reasons according to the previous ones.

  • 1. Original Network: Mainly eliminated this statement because apart from what in WP in Spanish we work with logos of the broadcasters, we work locally in part mainly the correct data, I also justify because we have put incorrect data in the WD from the beginning of 2017 with the user Cameliacarmona81 (disco.contr.), with which there was simultaneous vandalism with WP in Spanish, the manual message to the user until arriving at the confusion with the founder of Wikipedia. There is also another case in which one of the WD of the TV Azteca telenovela articles has been placed in this statement "XHDF-TDT" instead of "Azteca Trece" as in this example. As you can see, "XHDF-TDT" is the main station of the "Azteca Trece" (now Azteca Uno) in Mexico City, but not the original network.
  • 2. Country of origin: I feel that in this statement I have no justification, because as it is evident it is a necessary affirmation to present, and if I have eliminated an apology.
  • 3. Number of episodes: In this justification, because he deleted them in some series and telenovelas in current broadcast, such as "Hijas de la luna", "Mi familia perfecta", "Educando a Nina (Mexico)", among others. And if he deleted things they are no longer in the same broadcast.

I have never harmed anyone and those are my intentions, but the one that I think also intends to investigate further the user 77.65.13.26, Since he researched out of curiosity where the user edits, investigate your IP in "WhatIsMyIPAddress.com" and I get that edited from Poland, and you see edited from less than a month WD's of "Colombian articles" and it may be a blocked Colombian user that uses a VPN, it's not that I want to take revenge because That is not my true intention, but also his knowledge also in WP in Spanish since "May 8, 2018" as in these other examples: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usuario_discusi%C3%B3n:186.31.228.194], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]. How is it that an anonymous user can have the advanced knowledge of a self-confirmed and reversible user, if the knowledge acquired over time and registered in Wikimedia Commons?. Me gustaria que esto se resolviera en español. --Suik 2000 (talk) 05:39, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

@Suik 2000, estoy seguro que los administradores de Wikidata sabrán entender si prefieres usar el español, pues al menos diez de ellos tienen conocimientos del idioma.
Sobre tu respuesta, indicarte que 1) no es excusa que en eswiki se usen los campos localmente con imagen para borrar un dato común de wikidata que beneficia al resto de wikis; 2) tú mismo indicas que no tienes justificación, por lo que ruego que detengas ese modo de actuar y que revises los casos que ya hiciste; y 3) si tienes sospechas fundamentadas de que el usuario anónimo está evadiendo algún bloqueo, presenta los argumentos necesarios en una denuncia independiente, pero no es aquí el lugar adecuado para lanzar esas acusaciones. Sobre el tema editorial, espero que no sigas borrando datos sin justificación (ni en eswiki ni en wikidata), y que hagas caso de la explicación en eswiki de Fantasma del Espacio, quien se ha brindado a enseñarte para que participes de modo colaborativo. -- Leoncastro (talk) 14:30, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Semi-protect Q704022 (Gustavo Petro)

The page has seen a lot of vandalism lately as Petro is in the running for President of Colombia. He just finished second place yesterday and will be in the upcoming run-off. The page is semi-protected on the Spanish Wikipedia, but the infobox incorporates Wikidata, and the vandalism here has made its way there where it's harder to identify and rectify. -- irn (talk) 15:27, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Trolls adding Arabic to French

Please note a new vandalistic trend, I have seen three different "new" accounts, all in the past few hours, who have replaced the links for French with Arabic script on 1) "Facebook" 2) "Internet" 3) "Sport".

The accounts who did this are: 1) User:Mazouni oum elaz 2) User:SARRAHAM 3) User:Chahrazed Ait

I reverted the last two myself.

Thanks for looking into this. Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 00:21, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

@Til Eulenspiegel: Blocked them all for a month. Let us know if it persists, or take it to m:SRG if it gets worse. Mahir256 (talk) 00:25, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
Really? With no warning - much less a welcome - on their talk pages? How do you know that these are not people trying to make good-faith contributions? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:50, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
@علاء: Any thoughts? Should I undo the blocks in this case? Mahir256 (talk) 06:03, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
Hello @Mahir256:, ummm they have no edits on ar.wiki, all of edits on fr.wiki. As I see, that we can consider them as good-faith contributions, because, for example, user:SARRAHAM create a redirect from fr:الانترنت to ar:إنترنت then change the label on Wikidata. So, please undo the block and only warn them, any further vandalism after the warning then we can block them, also I hope if CU in frwiki can check them as they have the same pattern of edits.

Linking Pages and Changing Title

Hello,

I have translated this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WolfSSL . I need to link it with https://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Usuario:Arilo91/Taller&oldid=108293784 . I read and read but I cannot do it. I am trying to link both pages, but there is an error. Also I want to change the title of the page for the second link, and it is just showing my user name.

Can you help me please? I have a deadline to meet, so I greatly appreciate your help!

Thank you so much in advance for the help!  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Arilo91 (talk • contribs).

@Arilo91: it is not possible to link page from the main namespace (this is the case with your example on en.wiki) and from user namespace (your case on es.wiki). So you need to move your es.wiki page into the main namespace on es.wiki. To do that, I think you must ask to a sysop on es.wiki; Wikidata cannot do anything for you for now.

Chronic vandalism of 2001:BB6:8D0F:A858:0:0:0:0/64 (sitelinks remove)

Hello,

I request the blocking range Special:Contribs/2001:BB6:8D0F:A858:0:0:0:0/64.

Chronic vandalism for two months (sitelinks remove).

Thanks.

And in two months, not one message was left on the IP's talk page? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:48, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
@Pigsonthewing: While I have no issue with that in practice, I am not sure whether leaving a message on the talk page of a /64 IPv6 subnet (corresponding roughly to a single LAN) renders it visible to all addresses on that subnet, which is especially important since IPv6 addresses within a given subnet are pretty volatile. For example, I see four different IP addresses in the subnet used over two days, meaning if I had left a message on one IP's talk page, there's a close to zero probability that the person wouldn't see it since the person would be using another IP in the subnet.
