Bots are replicating one another's error[edit]
Hello all. I'm not a frequent editor to Wikidata so I don't know if the talk page is the right place to write this message. Feel free to move it to a better venue.
Eyal Meged is an Israeli journalist. He lives in Israel and writes for a newspaper printed in Hebrew in Israel. De.Wiki writes that he was born in the US, but the respective Wikidata entry still classified him as an israelischer Schriftsteller. Then, on this edit, a bot classified him as a human. Then, some 2 weeks later, the same bot replaced this classification, writing instead that Meged is an "American journalist". Some more time passed and another bot translated this error to Dutch. Slowly, the error propagated into Catalan, Spanish, Galician, Hebrew(!), Arabic, French, and Bangla. I think that bots are a useful tool (I used to write some for he.wiki), but not when they create such havoc that a human needs to hunt for people speaking these languages to clean after them.
