  Info Wikidata:Administrators' noticeboard#CoI, abuse and probable spam. —MisterSynergy (talk) 19:38, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

See Wikidata:Administrators'_noticeboard#Abridged_Pause_response for Abridged Pause owner response. —Abridged Pause (talk) 15:41, 26 September 2017 (ETC)

there seem to be a number of bands and recording artists who list this recording company as their record label (P264). So assuming those are themselves notable, it would appear at least that meets the basic structural notability requirements here. ArthurPSmith (talk) 19:47, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
although on a closer look it appears that all the linked items were also added by "Abridged Pause". Some do have enwiki or eswiki links, in the cases I checked these are also links to articles created by "Abridged Pause". The enwiki article I looked at seemed to be well-referenced, though none of the references made it into wikidata. Not sure what to recommend here... ArthurPSmith (talk) 19:55, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

I'm not the most Wiki-knowledged user. I tried my best to submit well-referenced information and content and use top-rated articles as a guide. I would be happy to improve on any and all of my contributions if given the opportunity and guidance. I think that this article explains it well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol#Be_nice_to_the_newbies —Abridged Pause (talk) 15:58, 26 September 2017 (ETC)

I'm not buying this "newbie" pleading, from someone who has apparently been editing Wikipedia since 2005 - and having promotional articles deleted there since 2006. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:04, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

  Delete I'd prefer not to give a pass to self-promotion unless Alexandre can give at least one non-(social media) identifier for their business(es) (an ISNI, a DOI beginning "10.13039/", a VIAF ID, an ISO object identifier beginning "1.3.6.1.4.1.", a Ringgold ID, an EU transparency register ID, a Legal Entity ID, ... check them out; find the ones with "ID", "reference number", or something similar...basically some other form of authority control that isn't social media). Mahir256 (talk) 16:15, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

First of all I suggest to merge all company items into one. Even for large companies it is pretty uncommon to have an item for each and every subsidiary or branch. In this case, all companies use the same brand and have the same owner, but they are formally on their own for legal and tax reasons as the owner User:AbridgedPause claims. The names of the subsidiaries could be added as aliases, and maybe with a suitable property as well; the problem of non-unique identifiers would be solved as well. If there is no well-founded objection until tomorrow, I will do the merging.
Once this is done, we can start to assess whether the company is at all notable according to Wikidata:Notability, i.e. whether the item will be kept or deleted. We will use the same measures as always, of course. —MisterSynergy (talk) 17:38, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

Okay, before I touched any of the items, I used the Query Service to investigate all 54 items User:AbridgedPause has created until now:

  • tinyurl.com/ydbyrtjb (Query 1; too long, thus not click-able — sry):
  • Query 2:
    • there are 445 external identifiers in the 54 items, mostly social media or user-generated profiles and thus not “serious references” in terms of the notability criteria (this needs further attention, since I am not sure about all of them).

The results indicate that almost all of the 54 items are probably not notable for Wikidata, and should be deleted. Any opinions? —MisterSynergy (talk) 12:16, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Wikidata:Autobiography

(delete | history | links | entity usage | logs | discussion)

The page gives the impression that it presents a official Wikidata guideline but it's author deletes attempts to include the template for proposed guidelines. The author also reverts edits of information where he clearly has a conflict of interest through his institutional ties. I don't think we should have pages like this that give the impression of presenting an official guideline, especially if it's author doesn't try to seek consensus (and additionally reverts edits where he has a COI). --ChristianKl (talk) 13:48, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

This is clearly a bad faith nomination, made after I removed the nominator's inappropriate {{Proposed}} tag from the page (which is not intended, as that template claims, to "become a policy or guideline"). Furthermore, I have already pointed out to the nominator that the page has no pretence of being a "policy", and does not bear a {{Policy}} template. I have also asked for evidence of a supposed conflict of interest and none has been forthcoming. The page is intended to be an easy guide for lay people who have never edited Wikipedia, much less Wikidata. The nominator makes no suggestions for its improvement, or indeed replacement. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:09, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
It's ridiculus to claim that I made no suggestions for improvements. I suggested two improvements. I actually added two improvements through edits. You are the person who doesn't want to accept them and revert them. One of them despite the involved COI. ChristianKl (talk) 23:27, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
Neither of your edits were improvements. Once merely continued the edit war started by another editor; the other falsely tagged the page as being something it is not: "proposed [to] become a policy or guideline". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:48, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

      • Who started that voice intro project then? Sjoerd de Bruin (talk) 18:38, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
        • Yes, you're right, that was me. It's largely why I was given the honour of being made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and presented with an award by Jimmy Wales on the main stage at Wikimania 2014. It's why I was interviewed on prime-time National Pubic Radio (on their most-listened to show) in the USA, and why we got coverage, mentioning me, in press articles in about fifty countries. So to suggest or imply, after all that, that encouraging the people on whom we have items might to contribute valuable open content as part of that project (as well as pictures and data), without mentioning my involvement in it, is somehow my trying to get "self-promotion" is beyond deluded. But if we are going to prevent anyone who innovates from ever mentioning the things they've developed again, we're going to have to stop Magnus from telling anyone about the tools he develops, and as for all the great things done by Lydia Pintscher and her team...

  • It's fairly easy to read it as a "[Welcome to Wikidata] we hope you [..] stay and help us [by writing your autobiography]".
    Compare with Wikimedia in general:
    • "Il est déconseillé d'intervenir sur les articles concernant les sujets dans lesquels vous êtes personnellement impliqué"
    • "Para prevenir disputas prolongadas sobre el significado, precisión de los hechos o la neutralidad del material en temas en que usted está personalmente vinculado, es una buena idea esperar hasta que otros usuarios de Wikipedia hayan trabajado en él antes de crearlos o modificarlos."
    • "Writing an autobiography on Wikipedia is an example of conflict of interest editing and is strongly discouraged. Editing a biography about yourself is acceptable only if you are removing unambiguous vandalism or clear-cut and serious violations of our biography of living persons policy."

      --- Jura 08:53, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
    • Not to anyone literate. Your quote is about Wikipedia, not "Wikimedia in general". And this is not, as we keep being reminded, Wikipedia. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 08:56, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
  •   Keep I think the guidelines are notability are clear enough that this page does not promote self-promotion; in fact, the page is very clear in adding independent sources. I don't see why adding independent information by people should interfere with the general Wikimedia guidelines. If people feel someone is self-promoting to the level in violation of notability, the latter should be the reason to object, not this page, which merely encourages good practices. --Egon Willighagen (talk) 09:40, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
    • Conflict-of-interest editing, which this promotes (creating an autobiography inherently entails a conflict of interest), is not something we should be advocating.--Jasper Deng (talk) 09:45, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
      • Conflict-of-interest is something relevant if there is something to gain (not every interest is a conflict-of-interest): I really don't see how someone who is marked as notable gains unreasonably by adding (sourced) facts. If an article should be created is already covered by Notability. --Egon Willighagen (talk) 09:51, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
      • [ec] I asked above (and have done so previously) for a citation to a policy which supports this claim; none was forthcoming. Perhaps you can provide one? But even if it were true, the correct response would be to reword the nominated page to advise item subjects of how to correctly supply data in accordance with such a policy; not to delete the page, leaving them without advice. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 09:53, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
  •   Keep and move to the Help namespace. I've made some edits today that I believe improve the general neutrality of the page, but I think it does belong under "Help" as a guideline for users on what to do when there's an item about them. We do have millions of people in that situation. The name perhaps should be changed from "Autobiography" to something more wikidata-relevant, perhaps "Help:Item about me". ArthurPSmith (talk) 15:32, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

The relationship is already perfectly obvious:

So your statement "en:Wikipedia:Autobiography (=project:Conflict of interest (Q4663309))" should be "en:Wikipedia:Autobiography (!=project:Conflict of interest (Q4663309))". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:35, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

From en:Wikipedia:Autobiography: „Writing an autobiography on Wikipedia is an example of conflict of interest editing and is strongly discouraged.“ In your adaption (or whatever it's meant to be) the word conflict is absent. --Succu (talk) 21:05, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
That's a Wikipedia policy. Is it a Wikidata policy? Citation (asking for the third time in this discussion) please. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:18, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
LOL, thats why we discuss not only about your ORCID recommendation. Your text encourages users to self-presentation. For me is omitting any hints to project:Conflict of interest (Q4663309) intentional. --Succu (talk)
  • Wrong venue This is a spiteful nomination, made simply because the nominator hasn't got his way in a content dispute. The only engagement on the relevant talk page has been: "There's a chance that a lay person who reads the page thinks that it represents accepted Wikidata policy. The template [{{Draft}}] informs them that it isn't." Editors really ought to be raising any genuine concerns on the talk page, not playing games like making frivolous nominations. --RexxS (talk) 23:13, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep. Eminently useful, sage, well written. Seems to offer only good advice. I think we should have pages like this to assistr interested newbies. --Tagishsimon (talk) 23:53, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Delete Wildly inappropriate, a tone of voice and approach that is oft-putting and quite frankly rude. Does not engender collegiality -- and this information is found in better form in other places. I'm mystified the author thinks this is something that anyone but he thinks will be helpful. It made me want to run screaming AWAY. -- Erika aka BrillLyle (talk) 16:43, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
    • @BrillLyle: "quite frankly rude" Which words, precisely? Does your view relate to your comments on the page's talk page, "Again, working on large dataset donations, etc. this constraint will make doing this very difficult"? Which "constraint" is that? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:22, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
    • @BrillLyle: Huh, rude? Are you looking at the same page I am? Please do give examples. --Egon Willighagen (talk) 08:32, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
      • It's the usage of "you" throughout the entry -- it's very jarring. Policy should be written in a much more neutral way. I like what ArthurPSmith did to address this but I still stand by the initial feedback and statement I made. Strip this entry of the inappropriate "you" references and it might be more useful. And not present such tonal issues. But I also question how one person, Andy Mabbett, can make such impactful assumptions and statements without consensus. This is not Wikidata according to Mabbett, even if that might be how he see it. Honestly I don't want Wikidata to turn into something similar to what I experience on Wikipedia, where editors dig into corners, can't have positive, collegial discussions, and don't respond to major concerns. BrillLyle (talk) 13:43, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
        • "Policy should be written in a much more neutral way" The page under discussion is not a policy. I doubt that anyone would agree with you that the use of a second-person-singular pronoun (examples: "We hope you will make use of Wikidata"; "If you are not satisfied..."; "if you think they are wrong, please raise the matter at Project chat"; "Wikidata can include a link to a photograph of you ") is "rude", non-neutral, or renders the page less useful. And please stop personalising content issues. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:20, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
      • I am probably out voted here and this will go forward without further objection, but I also have the right to express concerns and provide feedback, don't I? So that is what I am doing. I am only one editor, here, so do what you will. I am positive Andy Mabbett will do what he wants and will disregard anything I say or any objections I make, because that is the consistent response he has provided to me in multiple instances in the past, accompanied by an unpleasant tone and aggressive approach. But I want it clearly stated that brute force of personality actions doesn't mean something is okay or right. I refuse to be afraid to speak up in the face of that. Just saying. Wikidata and more importantly Wikipedia is something I do for fun and this experience makes it the opposite of that. If I am going to contribute free digital labor and take the time to provide feedback, it would be really great not to have to debate and defend to the extent it is being asked here. I don't see others' statements being questioned and being told "oh yeah, prove it!" like mine was. BrillLyle (talk) 13:50, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
        • I know nothing of previous discussions between people. I value it very highly that people feel free to speak up. Though, I have to see, from the root comment in this subthread it was not clear to me at all that the use of 'you' made you upset. Honestly, I have never heard that before (I learned something here), but also sounds like a very simple fix. I'm not a native English speaker, but replacing it with 'one' sound very feasible, and maybe a few eloquent speakers can find even better constructs. Sounds like a great way forward to me!--Egon Willighagen (talk) 07:40, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
          • The use of "one", especially in this context, would be awful - very overly formal, dated, and stilted. See, for example (emphasis added) [1]: "In modern English the use of one as a pronoun to mean 'anyone'... is generally restricted to formal contexts, outside which it is likely to be regarded as rather pompous or old-fashioned. In informal and spoken contexts the normal alternative is you". And once again, this is a content issue, not a good reason to delete an entire page. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:39, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

We should also look at precedent. The word "you" (or ("yours") is used in English text (emphasis added):

@Andrawaag: Could you please answer MisterSynergy's question and take care of the links? Otherwise we'll probably have to keep the item, which wouldn't be good if it's now incorrect in some way. --YMS (talk) 09:09, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
