Q6456020

Hi! Q6456020 wasn’t a disambiguation page item, at least not the last time the Wayback Machine captured it. Please undelete it. Thanks in advance, Tacsipacsi (talk) 21:06, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

@Tacsipacsi: I've restored it, but please note that @Myotus: for some reason changed it to be a disambiguation page and moved all the sitelinks from the item. Mahir256 (talk) 21:09, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks! I’ve reverted their edits, so hopefully admins won’t think anymore that this item is unnecessary. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 20:13, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Okay sir.

Thanks so much ANTHONY DERY (talk) 18:20, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Q110541178

Hello, I don't understand why this item should be a subclass of Q147276. The opposite isn't so. كريم رائد (talk) 17:24, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

@كريم رائد: This would be a question for @JTs:, who added the statement, if they were still around. Mahir256 (talk) 17:26, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

I realized it has features that will suit to what I wanted to do that is why please. ANTHONY DERY (talk) 18:21, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Possible duplicate on BNWP

Hi! I have found through Wikidata:Database reports/Same humans/Q36180 Santadas Kathiababa (Q54544213) and Santadas Kathiababa (Q104457973). I do not read bengali, but for what Google Translate is worth they don't seem to share anything beyond dates and name. Would that be correct? --Jahl de Vautban (talk) 13:51, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi! In order to merge Santadas Kathiababa (Q104457973) and Santadas Kathiababa (Q54544213) we need to merge the duplicate articles in bn.wikipedia and hi.wikipedia; would you be able to do it, or do you know somehow who would be able to? Thanks very much in any case! --Epìdosis 11:22, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

@Jahl de Vautban, Epìdosis: Apologies for the delay; I do not feel comfortable dealing with the Hindi text, so I've asked others about it, while I can take a look at the Bengali article later in the week. Mahir256 (talk) 16:39, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for removing L1227181

Hi, I am a wikidata beginner. I created L1227181 by mistake.
Thanks for deleting it and the fast deletion job. I'll be more careful in the future. Twkz0731 (talk) 15:52, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the removal of unnecessary P143

Hi! Seeing edits like this I would like to thank you for this very useful cleaning, which surely improves Wikidata; I also want to thank you for the same cleaning you are doing through Twofivesixbot (e.g. this), which I hope will eventually remove all unnecessary P143 from P21 and all other sorts of properties. Good night from Italy, --Epìdosis 23:16, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

General Language/lexeme help

Hello, @ZI Jony recommended I contact you concerning Lexemes and translations involving South Asian languages(I'm unfamiliar with how they relate to each other, but I'm perhaps incorrectly throwing Bengali, Hindi, and Punjabi into the same general pile here.

While I also consider it premature to ask you for translations in specific cases, I would like to draw your attention to the of (DEPRECATED) (P642) deprecation project (wherI'd like general commentary on property labels in multiple languages, as well as to a planned project of my own to create a scheme to design relational items suitable as P5689 (P5689) for adpositions, conjunctions and similar words. At this early stage I'm primarily looking for a convenient presentation mechanism for multiple-language comparison tables, to make them less tedious than regular wikitables to edit. See my current table on the page I link to (I'm aware of the English phrasemistakenly placed inthe Punjabi column, that mistake is an effect of the inconvenient table editor I'm using).Do you have any suggestions or wishes for how I should approach this. I'm thinking of a lookup table in Commons and perhaps some supporting Lua code (which I'm already working on at Swedish Wikipedia). Your actual needs and desires in Wikidata constitute my preferred challenge! --SM5POR (talk) 13:06, 30 January 2024 (UTC) SM5POR (talk) 13:06, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello.

I detected an account making SPAM, through edits that add links.

I found this account on pt-wiki, and I don't speak Portuguese, and I also don't know how to notify here on Wikidata.

The account is this one.

I saw that you are an administrator, I hope I saw it right, if I can do something, I will present it to you here. Elder N (talk) 04:53, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Creating a Wikidata property

Hello, I request you to create a Wikidata property for the Quran encyclopedia site (https://referenceworks.brillonline.com/browse/encyclopaedia-of-the-quran/) similar to the Wikidata property (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P11761) of the Islamica encyclopedia (https://referenceworks.brillonline.com/browse/encyclopaedia-islamica). THANKS

Help

Hi, I would like to know the reason for deleting my edit in Wikidata on March 11, 2024. I created Lexeme in Wikidata on account of the editathon organised by the oral Indic group. May I know the reason? I would also like to improve my edits. Is there any way to improve my edits. Below is the URL address, which got deleted. (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Lexeme:L1310595)

• Kavitha Ganesh
• @Kavitha G. Kana: Hello! I have restored the lexeme, but the various problems I saw with it led me to wonder if you wanted to create an item for the concept of a "ಕಂಬಳ ಪಾಡ್ದನ", rather than a lexeme for the Tulu phrase "ಕಂಬಳ ಪಾಡ್ದನ":
  1. Despite it being a Tulu lexeme, the lemma has the language code "kn", rather than "tcy" which I would expect for Tulu.
  2. The language of the lexeme is not Tulu (Q34251), but rather Tulu Wikipedia (Q26235862), which made me wonder if you were trying to add a link to a page on the Tulu Wikipedia instead.
  3. The sense gloss, when fed into Google Translate, tells me that "ಕಂಬಳ ಪಾಡ್ದನ" is a folk song about carpets, and it was not clear whether a specific folk song was being referred to by that phrase or whether the phrase refers to a 'type' of folk song.
  4. The single form provided on that lexeme is simply the name of the Kannada language in Kannada, and the grammatical feature provided on it is an item for a buffalo race (what does that have to do with grammar or songs about carpets?), which does not seem right for a phrase in the Tulu language.

  You may wish to read Wikidata:Lexicographical data/Documentation to learn about the parts of a lexeme, but feel free to ask me more questions too. Mahir256 (talk) 16:26, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in the WQT UI requirements elicitation online workshop

Dear Maher,

I hope you are doing well,

We are a group of researchers from King’s College London working on developing WQT (Wikidata Quality Toolkit), which will support a diverse set of editors in curating and validating Wikidata content.

We are inviting you to participate in an online workshop aimed at understanding the requirements for designing effective and easy-to-use user interfaces (UI) for three tools within WQT that can support the daily activities of Wikidata editors: recommending items to edit based on their personal preferences, finding items that need better references, and generating entity schemas automatically for better item quality.

The main activity during this workshop will be UI mockup sketching. To facilitate this, we encourage you to attend the workshop using a tablet or laptop with PowerPoint installed or any other drawing tools you prefer. This will allow for a more interactive and productive session as we delve into the UI mockup sketching activities.

Participation is completely voluntary. You should only take part if you want to and choosing not to take part will not disadvantage you in any way. However, your cooperation will be valuable for the WQT design. Please note that all data and responses collected during the workshop will be used solely for the purpose of improving the WQT and understanding editor requirements. We will analyze the results in an anonymized form, ensuring your privacy is protected. Personal information will be kept confidential and will be deleted once it has served its purpose in this research.

The online workshop, which will be held on April 5th, should take no more than 3 hours.

If you agree to participate in this workshop, please either contact me at kholoud.alghamdi@kcl.ac.uk or use this form to register your interest https://forms.office.com/e/9mrE8rXZVg Then, I will contact you with all the instructions for the workshop.

For more information about my project, please read this page: https://king-s-knowledge-graph-lab.github.io/WikidataQualityToolkit/

If you have further questions or require more information, don't hesitate to contact me at the email address mentioned above.

Thank you for considering taking part in this project.

Oxford English Dictionary object ID (post-July 2023) (P12510)

Hey Mr Mahir. I ask you to add the Oxford English Dictionary object ID (post-July 2023) (P12510) property to the lexemes you create and work on. You will find the identifier by clicking on the “Cite” link (https://www.oed.com/search/dictionary/) under the title of each subject page.

Example: dhikr (L1324338)

1- OED URL: https://www.oed.com/dictionary/dhikr_n

2- "Cite" OED DOI: https://doi.org/10.1093/OED/1106174491

3- OED ID: 1106174491

This Oxford English Dictionary object ID (post-July 2023) (P12510) property is very useful to complement the other Oxford Dictionary of English entry ID (P12739) property. Regards. Soufiyouns (talk) 08:50, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Twofivesixbot deletes statements

Why do you and your bot Twofivesixbot delete statements of the property P7859 (P7859) from data objects and replace them with statements of property WorldCat Entities ID (P10832)? As an administrator, you should know that no statements should be deleted from data objects. That's why I hereby ask you to issue this task immediately. Otherwise I will have your bot blocked by another administrator. --Gymnicus (talk) 16:06, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

@Gymnicus: Please read (the bottom of) Wikidata:Properties for deletion/P7859 (@Epìdosis:) and opine there instead. no statements should be deleted from data objects is a policy I have never seen before. Mahir256 (talk) 16:18, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

I still don't see any consensus there for the editing you're doing. That's why I once again demand that the activity be stopped immediately. --Gymnicus (talk) 19:05, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

@Gymnicus: When I look at the various "keep" comments on that page, they all make reference to "until a migration is set up" or "until we've shifted to entities". It just took a while for a migration path to be planned out (thanks @Epìdosis: for planning that!), but what I am doing is but an implementation of that set-up migration/shifting path. There are but two exceptions among the "keep" votes: one from a user who hasn't edited since late March, and one being your comment from 15 April 2023 to which you did not provide a keep reason when asked. If you can find some other "keep" voter from that page and convince them to tell me that there's a problem with what I'm doing, perhaps I will consider ceasing the bot run, but for now I see no reason to accede to your demand. Mahir256 (talk) 19:13, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

I agree with Mahir256; as of now, there has been no motivated opinion supporting keeping the Identities IDs after corresponding Entities IDs have been added. I add (as has already been written also on the deletion proposal) that the Identities IDs don't have any value in themselves since they are just derivations of LC or VIAF; since they have no intrinsic value, IMHO keeping just for keeping is not a good solution (if they were not direct derivations of LC or VIAF, I would be more hesitant about removing them, although I would probably nonetheless support their removal). Finally, I agree that the discussion should be in the deletion proposal, where as of now no one has objected the present bot run. Epìdosis 19:25, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

“where as of now no one has objected the present bot run” – I clearly see this statement as false. Because in the above section of the deletion discussion I clearly spoke out against any deletion of this property. Where does your interpretation come from that this statement no longer counts in the lower section? Because there is no vote anywhere in this section, where the critics are pinged again so that they can express themselves. Gymnicus (talk) 21:07, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

A WikiProject against redundant data

Hi Mahir256! Here at Wikimania in Katowice today I was discussing with @VIGNERON: about redundant data and the importance of reducing them for the well-being of Wikidata under a great variety of perspectives. We also remembered very well your presentation at WikidataCon 2023 Making Wikidata Smaller Without Reducing Information, which I think collected in a very clear and well-organized way the most relevant things to do for this issue, both from a software - let's say Phabricator ;-) - perspective and from the perspective of just editing and removing unnecessary things in our items. In the last days VIGNERON has been actively removing various redundant described at URL (P973) statements, while I have used my first bot in the last weeks for (among its main aims) removing redundant references to sex or gender (P21), which I know is a task you are also performing. Reducing data redundancy has also been mentioned in the session on the future of WDQS today by @Lydia Pintscher (WMDE):; however, we don't have yet (as far as I know) a dedicated documentation and/or work-in-progress page for this issue. I think it would be worth creating a WikiProject (Wikidata:WikiProject Redundancy? better names are accepted, I'm unsure about the best one) collecting all the ideas of your presentation and the queries that each of us is using to find redundancies in the items (which often need to be run periodically in order to fix things again and again), so that we could have a clearer understanding of what's the situation in this very important area of editing. I think I won't have time soon to start the WikiProject from scratch, but I am optimistic about having the time of adding some things (mainly Phab tickects and queries) if you start it. Let me know if you think it is a good idea. Thanks in advance in any case! From Wikimania, --Epìdosis 14:56, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks very much for creating Wikidata:WikiProject Redundancy (and so quickly)! I have added myself to the participants and I'm starting to add material. See you there ;-) Epìdosis 08:19, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

WorldCat Entities ID P10832

That bot Twofivesixbot adds some of theses properties which are not valid. Example: Demmin (Q559530) where I see only "Entity not found" some other examples where I already removed that property are Torgau (Q1420268) and Kreis Torgau (Q1787549). Maybe these are just redirects from old identifiers with some "lccn-<number>" in it? --Wurgl (talk) 16:03, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

@Wurgl: When I went through and found P10832 equivalents for existing P7859 values, I simply checked whether the WorldCat URL using P7859 yielded an HTTP 301 response pointing to another URL from which a P10832 value could be obtained. To reduce the amount of traffic to WorldCat, I did not further examine whether that P10832 value itself resolved to an information page. As such, while the P10832 statements I added are in principle correct, I am not opposed to seeing those values removed which do not produce information pages when accessed, so thank you for that.

‎SIMBAD catalog properties proposal

I think I have come up with a compromise that will allow you to start significantly reducing the number of triplets for astronomical objects, and on the other hand, will make sense in terms of associating stars with astrometry databases other than SIMBAD.
I propose to close Wikidata:Property proposal/SIMBAD catalog properties (used more than 1 million times) and make a new proposal for "Gaia ID" instead. Technically it will be DR3 ID (final according to Gaia website), but it will supersede Gaia Data Release 3 (Q66061041), Gaia Early Data Release 3 (Q98668919), Gaia Data Release 2 (Q51905050) and Gaia Data Release 1 (Q37859523) statements in P528.
I think we can relatively quickly assign this identifier to several million stars (see [2]), and then it will be possible to radically reduce the list of interesting catalogs for P528 statements by removing all the others.
What do you think of this idea? Ghuron (talk) 09:32, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Deletion of two data objects

On July 19, 2024, you deleted the two data objects Q123196773 and Korsen (Q124049725) with the reason "empty disambiguation page item". I would like to know the names of the two data objects so that I can understand why they were empty. Gymnicus (talk) 00:59, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

@Gymnicus: Q123196773 had the single Tagalog Wikipedia link 'Artikulo', which was moved by @Jojit fb: to another item on 6 March. Q124049725 was titled 'Korsen' but had no sitelinks when it existed. Mahir256 (talk) 01:03, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you. In the case of Q123196773 I understand it. In the case of Q124049725 I don't. Because there is a disambiguation page in the ceb.wiki with the name Korsen. Has this link been deleted? --Gymnicus (talk) 01:18, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

@Gymnicus: no, there was no sitelink on that item at all, and there were no other edits to the item other than yours and the one that auto-adds descriptions to items. Mahir256 (talk) 01:25, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

That's very strange. I must have completely forgotten about the data object. Sorry. Because the ceb.wiki page in question is still not connected to a data object, I would ask you to restore it. Gymnicus (talk) 01:29, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

@Gymnicus: ok done. Mahir256 (talk) 01:30, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you. --Gymnicus (talk) 01:37, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Lexeme sense additions

Hi Mahir - I don't understand a lot of the recent sense additions I've seen from you - it often looks like a noun lexeme is being given a verb sense. Example here: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Lexeme%3AL10833&diff=2354366608&oldid=2306500045 - it seems like you are claiming "dominate" is an exact match for "domination"??? ArthurPSmith (talk) 15:06, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

@ArthurPSmith: I've been helping the folks behind Propbank (@Iccricket16: and others) map their roleset frames to the senses of Wikidata lexemes. These rolesets usually correspond to verbs and related nouns and adjectives (see, for instance, the 'hasAlias' values at the Framester link) but share a common description across those words which often makes more sense for only one of those parts of speech. The annotators who have been mapping those frames are aware of these discrepancies in the gloss phrasing and have been slowly modifying the glosses on those senses appropriately. Mahir256 (talk) 10:14, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

Ok, I agree it looks confusing with those glosses, I'm glad somebody is working on fixing them. I've adjusted a few myself. But maybe exact match (P2888) isn't the right relation here, since the linked roleset encompasses several lexemes, not just the one? I don't think we have a URL-valued property for broad matches like that though. We do have mapping relation type (P4390) which is a qualifier on identifiers, maybe that would make sense somehow here?

Tajik lexemes

Hello, I have a question. As I’ve seen, for New Persian (Persian/Tajik) lexemes, only the singular/plural form is given for their nouns. However, as far as I know, there are other forms for Tajik nouns, such as possessive forms: *китобам* (my book), *китобат* (your book), etc., and the definite possessive form *китобатро* (your book—accusative). Should these be added? And also, other forms (as we can see in the link [3]).  - Rumsor (talk) 16:58, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

@Rumsor: We have opted to regard these as combinations of the base noun plus a pronominal suffix, such as ام/אם/ам/am (L230403), ات/את/ат/at (L1098423), and اش/אש/аш/aş (L1098420). (Some of the other affixes used in that template exist as آن/אָן/он/on (L1001910), ها/הא/ҳо/ho (L230402), را/רא/ро/ro (L742558), ی/י/и/ji (L1083584), and ی/י/е/e (L1124190).)

Shugni lemmas

Can you please look at wӣδн/wīδn (L1472940), ангих̌т/angix̌t (L1472941). Is it necessary to create a separate lexeme for each (bajuvi, shahdarai, barwazi) or continue to combine them with shugni? And what about the forms? Later, when adding forms (for example, plurals), they differ in each of the languages/dialects mentioned. Give me some advice. -- Rumsor (talk) 12:35, 13 July 2025 (UTC)

@Rumsor: It's fine to have multiple forms across dialects in the same lexeme if they are etymologically related, and to qualify plurals etc. appropriately with the dialect to which they apply. See for example ਜੁਰਾਬ/جُراب (L1084020) where the Majhi forms have been added alongside the other forms used in other Punjabi dialects. Mahir256 (talk) 19:07, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

Request for Undeletion

Hello Mahir256,

The following appeal is being shared with you, resulting from the initial conversation with your administrative colleague, Lymantria. This appeal pertains to three entries you deleted two years ago. Originally, I had thought it was Lymantria, but I have since been corrected. Please see the following conversation:

Original Appeal Message:

Hello Lymantria,

I hope I'm in the right area here. With this appeal, I am requesting the undeletion/restoration of four related entries: Q115362412 (Cat Ellington), Q115418086 (Joseph Strickland), Q115418086 (Dual Mania), and Q119268826 (Naras Kimono), all of which were deleted approximately one year ago by an administrator whose identity I don't know (I think the admin may have been yourself, that's why I'm leaving this message on your page, but I'm not certain) -- with the stated reason: "spammy net worth link."

While I acknowledge that one link (only in ONE item) may have been unsuitable for Wikidata, the deletion of the four entries, all of which had multiple reputable references/identifiers and institutional identifiers (LCNACO, ISNI, VIAF, etc.) was an error, an error in administrative judgment and a possible violation of (Wikidata) policy. According to the Wikidata deletion policy, a single problematic link should be removed, not the entire item, especially when significant independent sources confirm notability.

For Cat Ellington, her item contained significant independent sources and identifiers (like her MusicBrainz ID and Google Knowledge Graph ID, among many others related to her published works in music, film, and literature) as well as her institutional identifiers, and so did the items for Joseph Strickland and Dual Mania. The item for Naras Kimono, at the time of its deletion, contained her VIAF and ISNI identifiers, among several others, including her Google Knowledge Graph ID, author IDs and IMDb identifier. Kimono now has an LCNACO ID. Also, at the time of this request for restoration of the four entries, Cat Ellington and Joseph Strickland have obtained ORCID iDs (for their work in literary and film research, respectively), and Dual Mania now has its own ISAN ID, since the film's public release.

Should the administrators choose to restore these (four) items, both Ms. Ellington's and Mr. Strickland's ORCID iDs and IPNs (International Performer Numbers) would need to be added to their entries, Ms. Ellington's Google Scholar author ID will also need to be added to her entry, the LCNACO ID for Naras Kimono will need to be added to her entry, and the ISAN for Dual Mania will need to be added to the film's entry.

Thank you. Thank you all for your assistance. If I am mistaken about you being the admin that deleted the entries, I sincerely apologize. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. I have created a Wikidata account (for transparency), and I am signed in. BluestBelle (talk) 01:33, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

Lymantria replied:

I only deleted Q119268826 among these, two years ago, as result of a Request for Deletion. I have been looking again, I would make the same judgement again. The identifiers are not sufficient to pass the notability threshold. Independent and perhaps even a bit critical press coverage would help a lot. The other items have been deleted by Mahir256. --Lymantria (talk) 05:31, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

BluestBelle replied:

Hello again, Lymantria. Thank you for your response and information on Mahir256.

I was under the impression that the “notability” criterion at Wikidata was less strict than that of Wikipedia, as I have noticed Wikidata items for several other individuals, who, while artists in entertainment and literature, have not been covered in press articles, let alone topics in Wikipedia. Nevertheless, the same (still) have Wikidata entries. Moreover, the Wikidata notability policy confirms that identifiers like ISNI and institutional records are sufficient evidence for a "clearly identifiable entity," thus meeting the criteria for inclusion. Not the “independent press coverage” part of Wikipedia’s stricter policy.

But I’m not here to finger-point at anyone else, or to throw any given individual under a bus. However, there shouldn’t be a double standard either.

Also, keep in mind that the reasons for the deletions of the entries for Joseph Strickland, Cat Ellington, and Dual Mania were not because the trio of entries lacked “notability,” but, rather, because of ONE “spammy net worth link” on the single entry, which was/is the one for Cat Ellington. Besides that problematic link, everything else in their entries had been proper, accurate, and properly sourced.

Lymantria, you mentioned in your reply that independent and perhaps even a bit critical press coverage would help a lot? I have included article links for your review in this reply. I will share our conversation with Mahir256 on his (or her) talk page.

• @BluestBelle: First of all, each time my talk page is edited I get an email to that effect, so I did not terribly appreciate the multitude of inbox messages coming from each of your separate edits.

This being said, the history of these items is really not great, as noted in Wikidata:Requests for checkuser/Case/Bowbots and Wikidata:Administrators'_noticeboard/Archive/2023/09#Q115362412. (Your username is almost identical to one of the ones noted in that second link.) Such histories are common to lots of items that we frequently delete as spam. This judgment of something being spam or promotional often correlates with the inadequacy of reference sources (such as Everipedia or Prabook in the case of one of the items) and the massive amount of other online user-generated presences that are invariably linked from the get-go to the item. Good faith users generally do not fixate themselves on making edits to a very constricted group of items that they create themselves, and the items created by good faith users usually don't end up getting added to by lots of mysteriously appearing new accounts that are later shown to be operated by the same person or group of people. It is increasingly difficult to believe sometimes that there are exceptions to these observations, but with some clarity as to the nature of your activities some recognition might be warranted. (All this is to say: if you were creating these items in a non-spam/non-promotional fashion, these items and others directly related to it would not be the only things you'd work on and complain about.)

As such, while I might be inclined to undelete the three items you mentioned on the basis of the other, better sources you provided that could have been linked on the items in the first place two years ago, the circumstances around them are questionable enough that I must ask for the following before I do this:

• Are you the same person as any or all of the user accounts noted in that Administrators' noticeboard thread I linked above? If this is the case, can you clearly state that on your user page? If this is not the case, can you clearly explain your purpose for being on Wikidata on your user page?
• Is it really your singular purpose on Wikidata as a user to include items for those two people? Can you convince me or other administrators that you're editing Wikidata for entirely non-promotional reasons (like noting what other concrete improvements to existing items you might be willing to make, and how your behavior might differ from other accounts that create spam/promotional items)?
• Will you commit to not mass-adding faulty labels/descriptions/aliases in languages you don't speak, which were some of the problems with these items noted in the Administrators' noticeboard thread I linked above?
• Will you commit to not recreating further items about the bibliographies/discographies of these people, and letting some other user (who is more transparent about what their purposes on Wikidata are than you have been) recreate them instead?

Once you are able to clarify/commit to doing every one of those things, I may consider undeleting the three items. The notability criteria may be looser than Wikipedia, but this does not excuse every sort of behavior that seeks to make contributions allowed by them. Mahir256 (talk) 23:46, 6 October 2025 (UTC)

Hello Mahir256,

Allow me to apologize for the many edits, as I was only making my case. I didn't know that you received an email with each edit. I did not know that. Next, I know it looked strange two years ago, but you have to believe me when I tell you that we were not spamming the Wikidata community. Here is what happened. A team of us work in the same building for a PR group and a production company. That is why you guys got the same IP address. We were taking turns (with our own usernames) editing the entries for Strickland, Ellington, and Dual Mania because the workload for the three is so MASSIVE. So, we took turns. I am Bellina Holliday; my username is BluestBelle, and so forth. We work in entertainment and literature. We are not adept at the editing business like you guys are. So, it may have appeared suspicious, but trust me when I tell you that it was not anything nefarious on our end. Before we were instructed to create Wikidata entries, none of us had ever heard of Wikidata. So, we had to help each other with trying to figure it all out. This is why you guys saw so many edits.

Now, to answer your question. I would love to edit other entries. In fact, I did a few back then, which helped me learn how to do it. I learned by looking at the other entries of public figures. The last thing any of us wanted to do was screw up. We were all new to this. It was our first time. The entries for Strickland, Ellington, and Dual Mania were the FIRST time for us. We didn't know how Wikidata operated. But I am the only one left to handle it now.

Mahir256, I appreciate what you do, trust me. But this was new for me. I did the best I could. I apologize, again, for the flooding of your inbox with my edits. But I had to appeal the deletions properly. If I made errors, those had to be corrected. Thank you for your consideration. And should you restore the entries, I thank you for that, too. Next, no, I will NOT be editing only for Strickland and Ellington - or Dual Mania. But we had several public figures to work for in the industry. It's just that those two individuals and the feature film they created, Dual Mania, were new entries to Wikidata. Many others are already listed in the knowledge base, else we would have been editing for them, too. I made edits to quite a few Wikidata items, and had fun doing it, so I am not partial. I was so busy taking care of the appeals, that I never got around to setting up my user page. But I'll get there. Just so you know, Mahir256, I will be active on Wikidata, if I'm welcome here, and I will be editing items - and my username will be seen on those edits: BluestBelle. That's me.

Yes, I will commit to not mass editing or adding languages. I didn't know I was not permitted to do those things. I just didn't know then. But I know now. And yes, I commit to not adding the bibliographies and discographies for Strickland, Ellington, or anyone else. I'll let you guys do that. Because I didn't know I couldn't do that either. If I need help in the future, I'll ask. I never meant to offend the Wikidata platform. Thank you again, Mahir256. BluestBelle (talk) 01:07, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

Deletion clarification and next steps for Boost Suite (Q136300804)

Hi Mahir256,

I noticed that the Wikidata item Boost Suite (Q136300804) was deleted as part of a mass “Nuke” action. I’m the creator and would like to understand the specific reason for this deletion (e.g., notability, promotional tone, sourcing, or another policy).

I have done my best to provide the most accurate and transparent information possible. I will be happy to adjust the item to fully comply with Wikidata policies. Could you please advise on:

1) Whether a restoration is possible if I rewrite the item neutrally and add the kinds of sources you’d expect; or

2) Whether I should recreate the item from scratch, and what minimum sourcing you would consider sufficient.

Thank you very much for your help. I will follow the community's recommendations. RomainGouraud (talk) 10:45, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
