Undeletion request

Hi there,

It appears that Q115396311 should be restored: this author is indeed cited both on French Wikipedia ([1], [2]).

Also, he fulfils a structural need here.

Thank you for your consideration! 92.184.112.53 10:20, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

@Estopedist1: FYI --Ameisenigel (talk) 19:07, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

sorry, anonym (92.184.112.53), but every book's author or article's author is not notable (id est, fails WD:Notability). But if there are French-language sources about this person, then please give some Estopedist1 (talk) 20:01, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

I want to contest the deletion. In my opinion it clearly have a structural need to use as an author statement.--GZWDer (talk) 09:04, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

@GZWDer@ do we have items for the sources/books? Estopedist1 (talk) 10:28, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

In my opinion being the author of multiple published sources is by itself a structural need.--GZWDer (talk) 11:36, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

@GZWDer it would be a super-clutter for Wikidata, if any author with 2+ published sources is automatically notable Estopedist1 (talk) 19:51, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

With the possible exception of the authors of self-published vanity works (not the case here), the claim "every book's author or article's author is not notable" is incorrect. Especially so, for authors whose works are cited in a Wikipedia. I'm not even clear why this is a debating point in this case; it's a long-established consensus. If Estopedist1 wishes to be pedantic, any author "with 2+ published sources" will be listed in multiple reliable external sources - as is the case here - thus unequivocally meeting WD:N. The item should be restored forthwith. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:26, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

@Pigsonthewing: yep, good explanation, but one big weakness is that nowadays often publications has many authors, 50+ authors is not rare nowadays. Secondly, I am not sure that, especially in small Wikipedias, referenced sources' authors, meets our WD:Notability. Estopedist1 (talk) 12:00, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

If a work has 50 or more authors: so what? It's not our place to decide which of them made a significant contribution, and which did not. As for the subject of Q115396311, neither of their cited works have anywhere near 50 authors. The French Wikipedia is not "small"; but again, that's not a relevant criteria. Why have you not yet restored the item? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:23, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

IMO this item clearly meets WD:N as well as the long-standing practice here as an author of multiple seriously published sources. --Stevenliuyi (talk) 15:36, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Isn't it precedent if any author who has published 2+ serious sources can automatically have own item in Wikidata? We even don't know what exactly means "serious source". I rather recommend case-by-case approach, unless I have missed any older discussion about this topic Estopedist1 (talk) 21:54, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

For Q115396311 we're having a "case-by-case approach" and everyone is telling you to restore it. Again: Why have you not yet done so? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:42, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Personal attacks

Hi, an LTA who I am dealing with on English Wikisource has decided to attack me here. My user talk has been targeted and my edits are being reverted with threatening edit descriptions. As they use a moving range of IP addresses, it's not practical to block them, so I'm asking for page protection on my user talk page. I suggest keeping an eye on my recent edits (last couple of months). Thanks, Beeswaxcandle (talk) 23:54, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

IP user 218.189.215.212 created non-notable items for commons categories

Please revert these edits, and take some actions to prevent IPs from repeating. --トトト (talk) 13:25, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

@トトト probably best solution may be to apply some specific AbuseFilter, but it is not easy to create and possibly may give false positives. And as far I know, we don't exactly know where is borderline for not notable Commons categories and notable Commons categories.

Creations by 218.189.215.212 is deleted by Lymantria Estopedist1 (talk) 14:34, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Deletion history of wikidata indicates that Category:Country photographs taken on 2023-02-05 in commons, for example, is 100% non-notable item in Wikidata, isn't it? So simply to make it impossible to set hyperlinks to these commons cats is the first step. And also to stop Pi bot of commons from adding Wikidata infobox to those categories. When an IP user makes items for these cats, one has to (1) request deletions in wikidata, and (2) later delete inactive Wikidata infoboxes from these categories in commons. Very tiresome and futile work to do. My gratitude for Lymantria for the quick action. --トトト (talk) 19:12, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

@Mike Peel:, who operates Pi bot. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:47, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Pi bot just adds the infobox to categories linked to from Wikidata. Personally I think the items are notable, since they are useful at Commons (particularly since it uses Wikidata's multilingual information to display the category info in the user's language, not just in English in the category name), but others disagree with that perspective. Unlinked infoboxes aren't removed by the bot. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 17:00, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Wikidata user account email mysteriously changed

ITS received a ticket from Meta. It seems like it should have gone to security but when I inquired, I was pointed in wikidata admin team's direction by Scott Bassett, so I am just escalating on their behalf.

The ticket request was as follows:

"Someone, probably you, from IP address 45.188.188.253, has changed the email address of the account "FukJavaBreezee3" to "aketon@wikimedia.org" on Wikidata. If this was not you, contact a site administrator immediately."

For context, aketon is no longer with the Foundation, so that kind of adds to the oddness of this ticket from our perspective.

Since this is not a service desk issue, I was hoping someone from the wikidata admin team could take a look at this.

Best,

Josh Lam ITS Service Desk 74.15.128.112 19:00, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Tiscali-Tessellis

Is possible to do something about Tessellis (Q726572), Tiscali Italia (Q113406502) and Tessellis (Q116701988). I don't think they have to be the same item. ValterVB (talk) 16:06, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

Tiscali is the old name of Tessellis (Tessellis (Q726572)), so they are the same company.[4] Tiscali Italia (Tiscali Italia (Q113406502)) is a subsidiary of Tessellis (formerly Tiscali). You can see official documents and BoD approval for the new name of the company. It' not only me that says that. MAxSper5 (talk) 17:20, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

Of course he doesn't wait and has decided to undo everything. I don't change again to avoid an edit war, but I think it's better someone undo all. ValterVB (talk) 17:26, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

Wtf you removed content and decided. I based my changes on official references, you not. MAxSper5 (talk) 17:29, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

which then, as you can also see on it.wiki, an administrator wrote that Tiscali changed its name to Tessellis. So do you think we are all misinformed? And the press as well, given that there are dozens and dozens of articles about it? MAxSper5 (talk) 17:35, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

it is a supermass what have done here. 1500+ manual reverts to be done? What is correct solution here? I extended the block one week Estopedist1 (talk) 07:24, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

A catalog was added to Mix'n'match containing P17 for all entries, including humans. When matched to Wikidata, the bot tries to add the metadata from the catalog to Wikidata. I am currently changing the property in that catalog to P27 for humans. I can add a hardcoded exception to prevent P17 for Q5 to be added to Wikidata. There are currently some humans with P17 on Wikidata; this query can be adjusted to find only the ones with an "OpenSanctions ID" reference to get only the ones from the bot. Then, it should be easy to remove them via QuickStatements. --Magnus Manske (talk) 08:41, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Would like to draw attention to the edits of user Turktimex3

There has been discussion on English Wikipedia of this user, specifically the addition of numerous poor-quality drawings of people to their biographical articles. This has met with strong opposition at one of the noticeboards, [5], with the user warned several times and perhaps facing a block if they persist. However, one thing they have started to do is insert the bad image here on Wikidata (see contribs, [6]) and then add the Wikidata template to the English Wiki articles. I'm not sure what dispute mechanisms or resolution exist at this project, but something should be done to nip this person's actions. Zaathras (talk) 00:01, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

So, I am not sure what is the problem here. They are illustrative images, and I don't think you can say they are "bad-quality" except by some subjective measure that is of your own making. If a notable person has no photographic representation, I do not object to having them be illustrated by a different form of art, as long as it is somewhat a good effort to depict the person himself/herself, and not some sort of attack or parody of the person that might be unseemly for a biography. If enwiki objects to this, that is their business at enwiki; Wikidata is a cross-wiki project and does not have such policies or such objections here that might influence, say, the French Wikipedia. Elizium23 (talk) 00:09, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Furthermore, this appears to be related to a WMF initiative called Wiki Unseen, and I think it'd be an extremely bad idea for us to stand in the way of implementation of such a valued WMF project that people have put real work into. Elizium23 (talk) 00:12, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

There is emerging consensus there that the images are such low-quality drek that they they pose oen of several problems; 1) a BLP violation as unflattering and unharmful when used on a living person's page, 2) a copyright violation in cases where someone has uplo9aded an illustrated copy of a copyrighted photograph, 3) constitutes Original Research when the resulting drawing does not resemble the subject in any way. That someone started a Wikiproject is noble, but we are not obligated to use the finish products when what is produced is of unusable quality. Also note that not all of these are a part of the Wiki Unseen, though only two of the 8-10 images on the front page of the Wiki Unseen page you linked to are used at en.wiki, the rest have been opposed and removed. Zaathras (talk) 01:23, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

@Zaathras: I cannot imagine that any of these images that I've seen would constitute a BLP violation. Sorry. Wikipedia doesn't control Wikidata. If there's no free image of someone these are better than nothing. The images on the Wiki Unseen page do not look totally dissimilar to the ones in that enwiki thread. Wikidata should have a preference for photo-realism when such examples exist but the point, as I understand it, is that they don't exist here. BrokenSegue (talk) 04:16, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Already addressed below. Zaathras (talk) 22:06, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

[Disclosure: I'm someone else following this enwp dispute over to Wikidata]: Both Wikipedia and Wikidata could use clearer guidelines about the use of user-created illustrations. Turktimex3 (pinging because it doesn't look like they've been made aware of this thread) should engage in the consensus-building process on enwp rather than add images (if they are continuing to do so), but without clear evidence these images are incompatible with Wikidata (which, of course, has implications for many other projects), Wikipedia users should not export a dispute here, following Turktimex3 around to impose a particular interpretation of enwp's NOR policy as it applies to user-created illustrations and even [both parties] edit warring over them. The reverts don't seem to be particularly careful, either, e.g.. I'd be especially curious what Wikidata editors think of using illustrations like File:Marie Bergström.png and File:Florence Jany-Catrice.jpg when free photographs are unavailable. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 02:05, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

yeah, i would be interested to know if wikidata editors have as much respect for englsih, as english has for wikidata? the world wonders. and could we have a boomerang? "No one ever listen to Zathras anyway." [7].--Turktimex3 (talk) 02:14, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

At about the same time I posted here, I was made aware of the suppressfields=image parameter, so it seems that this is largely moot. Regardless of what happens here, the worst of these illustrations won't be seen at en.wiki. Carry on. Zaathras (talk) 02:21, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Link "Extended file system" to German article

The English article Extended file system is linking to a subsection of the German article Extended filesystem (-> Ext1 redirecting to Extended_filesystem#ext). This is preventing the German article from linking back. Please change the link from the English article to the German article as whole instead of the subsection.

Long-term, cross-wiki, image-related abuse by Orlando Paride

Greetings admins,

I wish to alert you of an LTA case that's a perennial cross-wiki issue for us here on Wikidata as well as Commons, all Wikipedias, and some Wikivoyage as well. The user whose real name may be "Orlando Paride" has used sockpuppets in the past, as well as many different IPv4 ranges (all from Italian ISPs though). This editor is a prolific contributor to freely-licensed high-quality photographs of Italian locations on Commons, and they are hell-bent on forcing their photos into every article possible. This is especially powerful on Wikidata where multiple language-based wikis pull their base images.

The latest username was WikiRomaWiki (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • SUL (for IP: GUC)), which is now globally-locked per LTA policies. Other IPv4 addresses include:

1. 151.57.4.255 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • SUL (for IP: GUC))
2. 37.163.85.35 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • SUL (for IP: GUC))
3. 176.201.154.198 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • SUL (for IP: GUC))
4. 5.170.245.26 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • SUL (for IP: GUC))

Please be on the lookout for this editor's prolific abuses, consider a good long rangeblock, and let me know if you discover any other pockets where they have meddled in cross-wiki image abuse. Thanks folks! Elizium23 (talk) 21:39, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Come to think of it, a CheckUser might want to look into Monticiano (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • SUL (for IP: GUC)) who just registered in January, and has an identical SOP to the aforementioned LTA. Elizium23 (talk) 23:36, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

I would file a request at Wikidata:Requests for checkuser. The Last X (talk) 00:55, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

@The Last X, why would you do that??? Checkuser is a means to choose for difficult cases. If multiple accounts show clear behavior patterns or editing type, please post on the administrator's noticeboard. That is why I came here! Please, can an admin give an opinion about where this is properly filed? Commons would reject me at RFCU for the same reasons as Wikidata. It's not a complex case at this point. Elizium23 (talk) 05:51, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Yes, I agree it is not a complex case, but the header on the WD:AN says Matters that may involve CheckUser should be raised at Wikidata:Requests for checkuser. So when you asked for a CheckUser, I directed you to Wikidata:Requests for checkuser. The Last X (talk) 11:44, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

thanks, I honestly find it quite curious that posting photos can be "vandalistic". Moreover, we are 4 million in Rome, if someone puts a high quality photo of Rome is it automatically an abuse? Moreover, I signed up in December to try to improve not to damage but independently if you post photos of Rome you're a vandal. Sorry for the outburst but I find it absurd. Greetings.--Monticiano (talk) 13:08, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

@EncycloPetey potrebbe essere interessato ai retroscena di questo caso LTA. L'EP sembrava confuso dal mio breve riassunto della modifica che si riferiva al calzino bloccato a livello globale. Ora EP sta supportando i tendenziosi modelli di editing di Orlando per forzare le sue immagini a tornare dove non appartengono.

Ho proposto 5 immagini alternative per la Venere di Milo. Quasi nessuna delle foto di Orlando è insostituibile; infatti la maggior parte di essi sono argomenti piuttosto popolari per i fotografi. Spero che possiamo smettere di servire schiaffi in faccia ai nostri contributori in buona fede di contenuti di alta qualità e con licenza gratuita e impedire a Orlando di cancellare il loro lavoro dai progetti WMF.

I took it into account. The statement was unsourced and continues to be unsourced. There are a lot of sources about the person in question but at second glance, they all somehow don’t seem to be serious. Together with the rationale given at Wikidata:Requests_for_deletions/Archive/2022/08/08#Q105646031, this was enough for me to delete the item.

Scooby Doo

We're seeing a lot of item creations for Scooby Doo concepts like episodes and characters by IPs like Special:Contributions/2001:8003:DDBA:5100:59CD:4614:D0B1:1B30/64. I've no reason to believe they are hoaxes or unsourceable, but none seem to have identifiers or references. I have tried to communicate, but it's unlikely to be successful with an ever-changing IP. This seems to have been going on for months. Block? Mass-delete? (I'm not sure how you mass-delete an IP range.) Bovlb (talk) 22:37, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

This is the Telstra IP from Canberra, they are contributing a lot for a long period of time, also for other franchises like Space Jam, Blinky Bill, Thomas the tank engine etc. etc. While their edits are usually without flaws, I doubt the notability of some of the items, but I'm not really concerned with animation related items.

Another problem is that they are reusing their own items from time to time. I also tried to communicate with them about it, but without any benefit. They are also linking copyright protected material in the Internet Archive sometimes, but I guess that's not our problem? --Dorades (talk) 23:05, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of covering every entity in every fictional universe, but I know that the Wikidata community seems to be fairly tolerant of that. Some sort of source or identifier is required, I would say.

What is the issue with copyright and the Internet Archive? Bovlb (talk) 01:30, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Here they added (edit-wise completely correct) the Internet Archive ID for the 2020 movie "Scoob!" which is under copyright (at least I strongly think so). They did the same here for "Space Jam: A New Legacy" and I've seen this from time to time on other items. There are a lot more probably problematic uploads by the same user on IA, did not check if all of these movies are linked in the respective WD items. --Dorades (talk) 10:35, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

I didn't realise that the Internet Archive was hosting complete copies of copyright movies. I suspect that won't last long, especially with major studios involved. It's not really our job to police what other websites do, and presumably this property has legitimate uses, but I wonder how many cases there are of this. There doesn't seem to be any discussion of this issue, either in the property proposal, or on the property talk page. Bovlb (talk) 18:27, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Without no external identifiers to serious film databases, I would say  Delete--Estopedist1 (talk) 07:08, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

I accept that there was only one recent vandalizing edit by 194.23.40.100 so far, and that it might be reasonable to await if there is more to come. The edit was the swedish name of the male organ, although disturbing there is no reason to hide this. However, maybe I was unclear, the edit I really considered _hiding_ was this one, performed by another IP, which is a way of outing an IRL-name of an artist which so far has kept her identity secret. First, there is no source for the statement, so it might be pure speculation. Secondly, as long as there are no serious sources of the IRL-name, it should not be publicized on svwp, and hence it should neither be publicized on WD. / Anhn (talk) 12:20, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Tm

Tm (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • SUL (for IP: GUC))

The user Tm insists on adding Portuguese names in the English section of the Picote Dam article that are already in the Portuguese section. He was already told very seriously that he must not do this a year and a half. He added them again some time after. He is as well adding Portuguese and Galician names in the Spanish section of the Bemposta Dam article that are already in their respective section. Lojwe (talk) 19:12, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

@Lojwe Where did the discussions that Bovlb suggested take place? --Emu (talk) 21:05, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

sometimes I can defend adding other languages to the English section (if they are used in the other language in English) but this seems like a clear cut mistake. @Tm: why are you doing this? BrokenSegue (talk) 21:12, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Per previous discussions, it is not me adding the names but, again, the same user again and again and again trying to delete those labels. There was a previous discussions, in Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/2021/05#Tm, were other users said that those labels are perfectly reasonable and correct and yet it is again the same user that removed those labels, more than once. Tm (talk) 21:43, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

And to be clear it was not me added those spanish labels in barragem do bemposta but another user, possibly a spanish one, and the use of native language labels in english language was clearly stated to be proper in Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/2021/05#Tm. Tm (talk) 21:48, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

That is my understanding of the 2021 discussion as well. --Emu (talk) 22:18, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Those names are already included in their respective language so they are gonna appear in searches. Why does Tm has to repeat it? He was already adviced against it in November 2021. Lojwe (talk) 07:05, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

@Lojwe He was advised against edit warring, as were you yourself. If you wish to report an edit war, please do so. If you wish to change the outcome of the discussion in 2021, please find another forum like WD:PC. --Emu (talk) 09:53, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Okay, but in addition to warring, let’s focus on preventing it. He insists on adding Portuguese and Galician names in the seccion intended for typing Spanish names. Could someone reverse this edit because it doesn’t make sende and I don’t want to be blamed for warring. The same thing here. Lojwe (talk) 17:51, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Admins cannot decide content disputes, therefore we can close this thread. Please find another forum. Sorry. --Emu (talk) 21:34, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

What should I do then? Warring? I’ve always used this forum when I’ve had a problem like this. Which one is the correct? Lojwe (talk) 19:50, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

@Lojwe Again: If you want to report a edit war, this is the right place to do so. If you are unhappy with Tm’s handling of aliases: There has been a discussion. If you are unhappy with the result, please restart it. WD:PC might be a good place for this. --Emu (talk) 21:28, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

New items creation to be restricted for anonyms and for not autoconfirmed users?

Do we infringe Wikimedia principles if we restrict items creation and merging for anonyms? E.g. in Wikimedia Commons, new files uploading cannot be done by anonyms Estopedist1 (talk) 17:20, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

 Comment to be very honest, I would restrict creation and merging to not autoconfirmed users. But it may be very controversial Estopedist1 (talk) 17:25, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

I don't think it infringes the Wikimedia principles. It may not be very effective though if users just create an account when told they need one. I've never heard someone propose restricting merging. Most new users don't even know how to merge so it seems like a non-issue. BrokenSegue (talk) 17:29, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

OK, let's focus on items creation then. (I agree that misusing of merging process is rather rare in Wikidata.) This means that we should restrict new items creating for not autoconfirmed users. I think it would be breakthrough for the quality of Wikidata. And the extra time we will acquire after this restricting, we may open new option for not autoconfirmed users: namely a help page where you can suggest a item which isn't in Wikidata yet Estopedist1 (talk) 18:36, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

This proposal assumes or presumes that the quality of item creation by IP address users is sufficiently inferior to that of registered users, that such users should be blocked from contributing, all without adducing any evidence. Nor is there any analysis of negative consequences - such as discouragement of potential new users, or the simple loss of good items produced by IPs. Until the proposal moved from a kneejerk into an ecidenced analysis, I respectfully suggest it should get in the sea. --Tagishsimon (talk) 18:47, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

I have great sympathy for the idea that everyone should create accounts, not least because it facilitates communication, but we have to follow the lead of our client projects here. My concern with this proposal is that it would prevent an IP user from creating a new Wikidata item for an existing Wikipedia page, or from linking two Wikipedia pages together. So long as there are client projects that permit anonymous page creation, we have to follow suit, or we aren't meeting our goal of collecting structured data to support Wikimedia wikis. (Edit) In particular, linking two Wikipedia pages together was not a page creation in the old days, is only a page creation now for technical reasons, and we should therefore be careful in making it a prohibited operation for a class of editors. Bovlb (talk) 19:18, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

See also Wikidata:Requests for comment/Restrictions on making items. I'm pretty sure this question has also been debated elsewhere. Bovlb (talk) 19:31, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

In enwiki new users cannot create a new article without using Draft namespace first. In Wikidata, it should be similar. If a new article will be made in a smaller Wikipedia, then usually the creator has no idea, that it should be linked with Wikidata. And it is bots job to create new Wikidata items about new articles from Wikipedias. Pinging @Tagishsimon:: please see https://pltools.toolforge.org/rech/ and new items, and you will get as many empirical evidences as you want --Estopedist1 (talk) 19:28, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

• This is not an admin-related problem, it should rather be discussed on (and moved to) Project chat.
• As mentioned in similar discussions previously, the problem is not as severe as sometimes perceived by some users. IP users create roughly 5000 items per month, and the clear majority is good. Furthermore, out of the ~2 million items that have been deleted so far, only 108k (~5.4%) had been created by IP users; the deletion workload does not really reduce if IP creations become impossible, but a separate noticeboard would require our attention.
• Many Wikipedia users regularly experience login problems at Wikidata/Wikimedia Commons for some reason. It would not be surprised if they were to use Wikidata without their account just to get their jobs done.

—MisterSynergy (talk) 19:56, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

@MisterSynergy we are not talking about only IPs, but not autoconfirmed users as well. Do you have deletion statistics about them as well? Estopedist1 (talk) 19:57, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

This is not that simple to query because IPs are identifiable as such forever, but the "newcomer" status (not yet autoconfirmed) is only easily accessible for the past 30 days via the recentchanges table. From my patrolling experience, there is usually a 60:40 distribution between IPs and Newcomers regarding the total number of edits that need patrolling (200k per month), so you could extrapolate this 3:2 ratio in favor of IPs for a rough estimation. —MisterSynergy (talk) 20:09, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

I think that this extrapolation for deletion (newcomers + IPs = 10-15%) is not correct. E.g. majority of our RFDs are cluttered by newcomers creations. At least we should try a trial period in Wikidata when new items creations by IPs and newcomers are restricted. If there are so bad consequences we are not able to see now, then we just end this restriction Estopedist1 (talk) 20:46, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

• The overwhelming majority of deletions does not go through WD:RfD at all, so I think you cannot infer global numbers from there. IP/newcomer contributions are being monitored to some extent, and reported there much more likely than items from experienced users are.
• A "trial period" needs to be well defined. An issue with temporary IP restrictions is that there are quite obvious and immediate results in terms of edits (such as "X fewer items created", "Y fewer cases of vandalism", "Z fewer items required deletion", etc), but long-term effects such as impact on recruiting new permanent editors are really difficult to evaluate.
• In previous discussions I have already reported that IP editors make up for a very significant share of our community. My estimation would be that more than 25% of individuals who edit Wikidata do it without using an account. Each restriction to this group may significantly reduce the number of humans who edit Wikidata.

—MisterSynergy (talk) 20:58, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

For restrict merging items, see Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/2017/08#Restrict_merging_rights_to_autoconfirmed_users. This is blocked by multiple concerns, including finding some statistics about how much percent of merging by non-autoconfirmed is bad.--GZWDer (talk) 21:13, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Growing contributor numbers on Wikidata is one of the most important priorities we have. If we would disallow the creation of new items it would make it harder for new editors to get started on Wikidata. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 02:06, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

When it comes to merging it's bad that currently we have people who never opened Wikidata.org merging items without knowing that they are merging items on Wikidata. This should stop. The interwiki link tool has no business merging items. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 15:56, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

It is sad that smart people still cannot understand that our (Wikidata) goal is not to get as much info (read: as much new items) as we can, but the quality of it. And if we cannot patrol all new items creations due to huge flood by IPs and newcomers, we are just failed, but at least this failing is our thinked-over decision. Good luck!--Estopedist1 (talk) 06:54, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Growing number of users is not the same thing as growing the number of items. Nobody, here argued that the value of the amount of new items that get created by new users is the reason why we should allow those items to be created. ~10000 new items per month is a rounding error in the amount of items that get created. We care about the users. More users means that there are more people working to increase the quality of the items on Wikidata. While the quality of the work of a new user on average is lower as the work of established users, every established user starts out as a new user. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 15:53, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

i support some form of restriction. you'll be surprised how much random useless edits just a little hurdle can prevent.

i think restricting creation and merging of items to autoconfirmed (except when it's done thru "sitelink change from connected wiki") is appropriate. RZuo (talk) 16:10, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

@RZuo: The crux isn't whether or not such a restriction would reduce the amount of useless edits. The crux is about whether it reduces the number of new users that Wikidata has.

Why do you think that we should allow nonautoconfirmed users who don't know users that they are merging Wikidata items to merge them and not to merge them when they are more intentional about it? ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 00:38, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

sorry, i dont understand your question.

my idea would not block all these users. they can still edit statements, labels, etc.

edits done thru "sitelink change" should be allowed for all because these edits dont originate from wikidata. users wouldnt know they need to be autoconfirmed on wikidata before they can do that. since the threshold for autoconfirmed is high (50 edits) on wikidata, there're long term users from other wikis that dont meet this threshold.

Foreign wikis linked to a placeholder English item

I have recently been trying to bring up articles on the forced assimilation and ethnic cleansing of Muslims in Communist Bulgaria up to the standard of non-English wikis. The Bulgarian and Russian pages in particular split the process into two parts, the Revival Process (referring to the earlier forced assimilation) and the Big Excursion (referring to the 1989 Ethnic cleansing in particular). Non-English wiki entries on the Big Excursion, however, currently link to the Revival Process page and I cannot edit existing links on wikidata.

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7200922 should link to the Big Excursion page rather than the non-existent 1989 Ethnic Cleansing in Bulgaria page which redirects to the revival process, but I cannot edit the page.

Restoration or creation of WIKIDATA (Jorge Luis Diaz Granados Lugo) Q110863311

Hello administrators, this wikidata deleted in question on several occasions should be considered for restoration or at least for discussion. The deleted element Q110863311 has in its encyclopedic content reliable sources and verified identifiers that, applying it to notarization to be in wikidata, is reliable to be so and that part cannot be denied. Therefore I consider that you as administrators reassess the restoration of Q110863311, the sources have been reliable enough.With the passing of several years, the deleted wikidata has been updated, and verified, real, verified information has been added.

As administrators they can review the sources of the removed wikidata. And consider with great respect the restoration or the creation of a new wikidata in question because there are notarial sources that cannot be left aside. The sources are there, the identifiers too, Viaf, isni, official author id, etc, etc.Sorrylasted (talk) 21:15, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Relevant items: Q110863311 (MichellDasilva), Q116871357 (Sorrylasted). CC deleting admins @Hasley . See also User_talk:Hasley#Restoration_Q110863311. Bovlb (talk) 21:32, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

I somehow missed the message on my talk page. My apologies for that.

I would like to point out that there has been an old but persistent campaign to promote Díaz Granados on the English and Spanish Wikipedias (ex. gr. 1, 2, 3), which apparently has involved sockpuppetry (1), and now seems to have moved to this project. As you may note, MichellDasilva and the other accounts have an obvious conflict of interest with the subject. The former also made false claims on IRC about several editors, and so was banned there and subsequently blocked on eswiki.

I do not think there is a need to dwell too much on this one, so I would prefer not to elaborate any further than that. —Hasley + 01:06, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Previously, the decision was made to delete everything related to the article in question, and the embezzlement of the subject cannot be hidden. Before there were no identifiers to prove its reliability, such as author id, viaf, isni among others. And now that there is data, verified, correct, tangible sources that cannot be denied, no administrator takes them into account and once again the wikidata in question is discarded. I go back and reiterate, what harm can a wikidata do with reliable sources, or how can a wikidata promote someone to advertise?

The sources are there, the identifiers too, where is the problem? Unfortunately many, many people view everything related to wikidata (Q110863311) or the name Jorge Luis Diaz Granados Lugo with a bad eye. That if there were attempts by other accounts to create said article, that is not denied. But the recently deleted wikidata, I ask In what way, according to the argument, can you give publicity to someone, if you have all the requirements of wikidata itself to be there? @Bovlb @Hasley Sorrylasted (talk) 03:18, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

I only ask you to please, with great respect, evaluate, evaluate, your points of view, and consider at least the restoration of Wikidata, thinking things better. It's just a wikidata. Also, will it be prohibited to create a wikidata of said person in a future Q110863311? Even though you have all your data correctly, viaf, isni, ID author, etc, etc? Don't you think this is already bordering on some kind of witch hunt, or censorship, prohibition?

Friends what is this? Why do they have that behavior? How far will it go? @Bovlb @Hasley Sorrylasted (talk) 04:04, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

I took a look and I'm sorry but even ignoring the past indiscretions it appears there is simply not enough serious sourcing on this subject to justify a wikidata item. All the identifiers have zero barriers to entry. None of the references are serious. BrokenSegue (talk) 04:05, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi @BrokenSegue, I'm afraid your data is incorrect, the data I'm talking about belongs to the wikidta (Q110863311):

I apologize for the delay I took the time to gather the information. Sorrylasted (talk) 04:41, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

which of those identifiers do you think establishes notability? this person has zero monthly listeners on spotify. BrokenSegue (talk) 05:03, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello @BrokenSegue with great respect, allow me and I will ask you these questions. Will everything now be summarized in the reproductions of a platform? In views, number of followers? And then, what are the other identifiers for? Are spotify productions taken into account, but the other identifiers are discarded? Don't you think you're being unfair, impartial? If that is the question or the starting point, or the yardstick, then let's go to the wikidata platform in question (Q110863311) and look at their videos on YouTube, some have many views, others do not. Sorrylasted (talk) 05:12, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

I am being more than fair. How about you write an article about this person and get it published in a reputable source and then we can make an item for them. BrokenSegue (talk) 05:38, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello @BrokenSegue if that were the case, or if the article is written tomorrow, after a year or a week, and it is published in an accredited source, what assures me that your word will be kept?

Who would I have to contact to resume the topic in question (Q110863311), Jorge Luis Diaz Granados Lugo, after the article was published? Would this really be enough to restore wikidata, articles, etc. Do you know of any reputable source for doing this, is there one you can recommend? Will it not be taken as spam, advertising, promotion, any data, of the person in question Q110863311 Jorge Luis Diaz Granados Lugo? Won't the other admins delete it? Sorrylasted (talk) 07:28, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

if new evidence/sources appear that suggest an item is notable you can come back here and ask for undeletion again with the new evidence in hand. I cannot promise you that a new source will get the item undeleted because I can't see the source/article beforehand. The bar for having an item on wikidata is quite low. For example, you just need any language Wikipedia to think the subject is notable. Or for some serious source to have written serious coverage of the subject. User submitted databases like IMDB or YouTube don't establish notability. BrokenSegue (talk) 16:06, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello @BrokenSegue greetings to you and all the administrators, good day, good afternoon and good night. Thank you for your response and it will be taken into account. However, with much respect, some of their texts contradict each other.

A few texts behind this topic in question, you yourself in a way or manner of contempt, mockery, left in writing that said person in question has zero views on spotify. And today he responds that YouTube does not establish popularity or notability. I don't understand. He used the spotify argument to discredit the wikidata in question, and today he says that both IMDB and YouTube do not give notability. So, one day a platform does give notability, or if it serves as a tool to discredit and the next day it doesn't? Don't you think that beyond the verified identifiers, consciously or perhaps unconsciously, they are really looking for a reason, any, unjustified for not restoring the wikidata? Some shared identifiers in the theme have the verification badge, such as author, verified real artist, etc. And yet they discard it.

Above, he wrote in writing that which of all the identifiers could be notable, and now I ask, have you already checked all the identifiers? Some of them have the verified seal or insignia. Or does the verified seal, blue insignia, not give notability, renown? Sorrylasted (talk) 19:02, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

My participation here was merely in enforcing the previous notability decision. I have no dog in this fight, and I don't mind if the community decides we should restore this item. Bovlb (talk) 04:47, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

@Sorrylasted: The key question here is "Why are you so interested in this item?" If your intention is not promotion of Jorge Luis Diaz Granados Lugo as you pretend, what's your interest? ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 16:24, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello @ChristianKl cordial greetings to you and to all the administrators.

My interest in the subject is not personal, nor do I seek to be anyone's lawyer, let alone be someone's representative. I just think that an injustice is being committed, a mistake, and I explain myself. I'm only talking about the wikidata (Q110863311). Previous accounts that tried baselessly to create an article were banned, and they deserve it for trying to publish things repeatedly and much more as mentioned above by taking accusations. I do not know if the sources were checked at the time, as well as their identifiers, but that is another matter. It is right that any attempt to create something to be created should be eliminated, and I share that with everyone. But the wikidata (Q110863311), having its correct, verified, real data, will also be discarded? Perhaps the article that did not have verified sources if it is feasible for removal, but also the wikidata (Q110863311)? Don't you think that's unfair?

You as administrators know that the wikidata data is correct. But somehow I don't know why they see the wikidata restoration wrong (Q110863311), and have mixed the past topic with the present, one thing is the article, another is the wikidata. And from what I've been reading about you, you've mixed things up. I'm talking about wikidata. That no harm or benefit can do to anyone. If this is not an impediment on the part of the administrators, what could this be called? What attitude is that? The wikidata data (Q110863311) is correct, complete, verifiable, and you know it. What then prevents you from restoring them? Friends, don't be reluctant to see the restoration of the wikidata (Q110863311) as a bad thing. So much damage did the previous accounts in creating the article, that now you automatically see the wikidata with bad eyes (Q110863311). Sorrylasted (talk) 19:02, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

@Sorrylasted Basically, you avoid answering the question. You don't seem to have any edits elsewhere in Wikidata. How did you get to know that the item was deleted in the first place? How come that this is the only thing in Wikidata that seems interesting for you? ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 19:49, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello @ChristianKl My interest in the subject, if I was not clear in answering your first question, is that I have no interest, or anything close to it.

My personal interest is to start as a Wikipedian and share reliable content and I thought it was more feasible to start in wikidata starting with artists. In fact, I am thinking of requesting the creation of a wikidata and an article by another writer called Valeria Román Marroquín.

And I found out that this wikidata was deleted when I tried to create a wikidata regarding the author. Immediately an administrator or patrolman removed it. By following the link or the notice I find out the cause, I keep investigating, and investigating and I found out that said file was deleted by the administrator sasha. And now I am here conversing with you to appease the waters that do not concern me, or at least to rescue the wikidata in question from the whole matter. Sorrylasted (talk) 20:09, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Looking at Sorrylasted's contributions on English Wikipedia, it appears that their sole contribution there has been to post various versions of this subject's biography again and again, all the way back to 2019. This seems somewhat inconsistent with the claims above. Bovlb (talk) 21:44, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Bovlb, greetings.

It is not surprising that mistakes are sometimes made, nor in waiting for the fruit of the field to grow. In this sense, it is also expected that everything related to various authors, articles, wikdatas will be given. As for example previously mentioned Valeria Román Marroquín. Your data is not yet complete to be on wikipedia or wikidata but it is expected that it will be in the future. In that aspect I acted.

Now I really don't remember when was the last time I added something there, and if so, and yes, if I edited said wikidata (Q110863311) at the time. I myself retract the aforementioned and correct and apologize to everyone. I'm sorry. Because that's what mature and upright people do, accept their mistakes, to learn from them. Sorrylasted (talk) 22:10, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

If the thing you care is adding information about artists, you could work on existing pages of artists over at Wikidata or Wikipedia. That's what a user that primarily cares about improving information about artists would do. On the other hand, a person who has an interest in promoting particular artists will focus only on those artists he wants to promote. Your Wikipedia history suggests that you fall into the later category. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 13:45, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi all wikidata admins, greetings. @Bovlb @BrokenSegue @ChristianKl @Hasley and I send you all big hugs.

He quickly went on to inform them that press releases or wikidata articles (Q110863311) Jorge Luis Diaz Granados Lugo are already appearing. I share links to the articles so that everyone can see them and this remains as a true record. I can only tell you to please evaluate your views and consider whether or not to restore the wikidata at least. Bye bye. My apologies I forgot to share the links.

Links to articles, press release, etc: Article 1 Article 2

Sorrylasted (talk) 13:24, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

these two articles are identical. the article also appears to be written by the subject about themselves. we do not consider press releases to be a serious source as anyone can issue one and get it reproduced in various aggregators. BrokenSegue (talk) 15:57, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi @BrokenSegue @Bovlb @ChristianKl @Hasley, sorry for the delay in responding, I've been busy.

Honestly, I am surprised how harsh and cruel they are doing with that writer, person or wikidada (Q110863311). I ask, why do they put up barriers, walls, so as not to advance? That writer must be trying really hard to curry favor with all of you, and you haven't even realized it. It has its merit, something is something, worse is nothing, and it is recognized. It may not be the correct way, but keep trying.Now the matter is totally in your hands between doing the right thing, or not doing it, you all decide.

Greetings to all. Sorrylasted (talk) 04:52, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

That sounds like you are the writer who's trying to "curry favor" and you are doing that by lying to us. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 12:44, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

For those who may be interested here is a copy of the wikidata (Q110863311)

Jorge Luis Diaz Granados Lugo at web.archive.com before its deletion. Correct

 Keep deleted I was neutral on this before, but am now convinced it should remain deleted. There is nothing going on here but a threadbare attempt at self-promotion. Bovlb (talk) 04:59, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Bovlb@BrokenSegue@ChristianKl@Hasley, cordial greetings to you and everyone.

With much respect and kindness I ask: Is that your estimation, particular stance, personal, or are you speaking on behalf of all wikidata administrators?Why hasn't there been a consensus of all wikidata administrators or bureaucrats, why hasn't there been a vote of all yet?

Greetings to all. Sorrylasted (talk) 21:27, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

There's a consensus of Wikidata Admin's here. Nobody likes liars who are into self-promotion. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 21:58, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Who's promoting themselves, or who's the liar? Who are you talking about? Is the data of the wikidata in question incorrect or incorrectly filled in? Are there any syntax errors in the entire tab? No, none. And if the wikidata data is correct as required by wikipedia and it was deleted who are the liars then?

Friends, you are supposed to be the delegates and your duty is to come to a consensus and vote, all of you. Not a few, not a few, all. And thus determine a decision. Sorrylasted (talk) 22:12, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

I think the consensus here is clear, and this is now verging on disruption. I'm going to close this discussion before it crosses that line. Bovlb (talk) 03:03, 11 March 2023 (UTC)}}

I don't think it should be closed. There is still injustice. @Bovlb @BrokenSegue @ChristianKl @Hasley, I try to be neutral in all respects by making them understand their motives, and I try to focus it on the Wikipedia area, seeing and analyzing the pros and cons.

First, the wikidata in question is mentioned by Hasley for what other accounts did in the past, The wikidata in question is removed for apparently not having a reputation. Then you say that there is self-promotion in the wikidata in question, then you mention something about creating an article to see if it is rescued, (more exactly BrokenSegue), then it is said that someone is lying and that is why there is no consensus. Then an administrator says that he cannot be there because he has no reproductions on Spotify, leaving aside the other identifiers such as viaf, isni, implying that the other identifiers do not help anything. Then some say something, then others say one thing, later another, that this is bad, look, this is worse, and so on and on. Everyone knows that the wikidata in question has its correct data and everyone can verify it. And now evasively it is said that the line is being crossed. Is it serious?

So, now I humbly and respectfully ask you, is this the real way or process for those in charge (Administrators) to determine what is deleted and what is not, or what can be restored? Don't you think that their ways are being impartial, unfair and unprofessional? What if you restore the wikidata in question, but take away what you think is wrong? Would they restore it?
