Report concerning User:Lopezsuarez

Lopezsuarez 🔕 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • SUL (for IP: GUC)) — Reasons: Edit war on Andorra ―Erik Baas (talk) 20:43, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

@User:Lopezsuarez why? WikiBayer (talk) 01:03, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

Due to the continuation of his behavior, I have now blocked the user. He deletes verified information and executes editwar against multiple users. --WikiBayer (talk) 11:25, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

@User:WikiBayer This situation borders on the absurd. A group of users on the Catalan Wikipedia, clearly in cahoots, have added that Spanish regions like the Balearic Islands, the Valencian Community, and Andorra are part of a supposed imaginary territory called "Catalan Countries"—a supposed territory that has never existed, that generates deep resentment in those regions, that is neither neutral nor official. I simply removed this vandalism, and... they block me for over a month? I'm in shock. It's clear that the administrator who handled this issue doesn't grasp the gravity of what happened here. Lopezsuarez (talk) 19:29, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

So you want to claim that the language doesn't exist? And that all the users you've had edit wars with were vandals and you did the right handling.--WikiBayer (talk) 19:47, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

 Comment @WikiBayer Absolutely. Language?! What does the Catalan language have to do with the fictitious "Catalan countries"? What kind of serious project could use that term? The other users come from the Catalan Wikipedia; they coordinated from the Café page. It's disproportionate to block me for 40 days! My edits on Wikidata have nothing to do with edit wars. You're making a mistake with me over something you clearly know nothing about. This is unfair and disproportionate. Lopezsuarez (talk) 01:32, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

"nothing to do with edit wars" So reverting other users edits over a longer period is not an editwar? WikiBayer (talk) 00:08, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

"Catalan countries" is a cultural (and probably historical) region where Catalan language and culture is used. I have nothing in common with Catalans or other Spanish people, don't try to insult me. But I see your behavior as Spanish imperialism, trying to wipe all other cultures in your territory. This is not allowable in Wikidata. Infovarius (talk) 17:39, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

Request for undeletion of Q138386573 (Bablu Ahmed)

Hello, I am writing to ask for the restoration of Q138386573 (Bablu Ahmed). This item was deleted for notability, but we now have three major independent news reports that prove he is a notable professional cricketer in Bangladesh. Here are the links:

Bhorer Kagoj (National Daily): https://www.bhorerkagoj.com/sports/168454

The News 24: https://www.thenews24.com/sports/news/61030

News Cricket 24: https://newscricket24.com/%e0%a6%9f%e0%a7%87%e0%a6%aa-%e0%a6%9f%e0%a7%87%e0%a6%a8%e0%a6%bf%e0%a6%b8-%e0%a6%95%e0%a7%8d%e0%a6%b0%e0%a6%bf%e0%a6%95%e0%a7%87%e0%a6%9f%e0%a7%87-%e0%a6%ac%e0%a6%be%e0%a6%82%e0%a6%b2%e0%a6%be/

He also has a verified Google Knowledge Panel (ID: /g/11y_c0gthf) ( Link: https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/g/11y_c0gthf ) and professional stats on CricHeroes (https://cricheroes.com/player-profile/12807997/bablu-ahmed/stats). Since there is now significant media coverage, please restore the item so we can add these references correctly. Thank you. Mdabubakkarofficial (talk) 20:17, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

Are there databases listing him as a professional cricketer? Ymblanter (talk) 20:01, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

Yes, he is documented in the CricHeroes professional cricket database, which is a primary source for tracking competitive cricket and player statistics in South Asia. His verified profile confirms a career spanning over 208 matches with 6,800+ runs and 28 wickets:

• CricHeroes Professional Database Profile: https://cricheroes.com/player-profile/12807997/bablu-ahmed/stats

Furthermore, his status as a professional athlete is recognized by the Google Knowledge Graph (ID: /g/11y_c0gthf), which specifically categorizes him as a "Bangladeshi Cricketer." Restoring this item will allow for the proper structural linking of these professional identifiers to his Wikidata Record. ~~~~ Mdabubakkarofficial (talk) 14:18, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

@Lymantria: I think we should undelete under the condition that sources get added reasonably soon. Ymblanter (talk) 19:11, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for the consideration. As soon as the item is restored, I will prioritize adding the verified news references from Bhorer Kagoj and The News 24, as well as the official database identifiers, to ensure the item meets all community standards.Mdabubakkarofficial (talk) 20:17, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Undelete request for Q137711475 (MEM Courrier) and Q137719671 (Edissyum Consulting)

I apologize for insisting. This is not intended as a promotional request.

Below are several independent references showing that both items meet Wikidata's notability criteria, in particular the requirement that a topic can be described using serious and publicly available sources.

For transparency: I work as Director of Operations at Edissyum Consulting (publisher of MEM Courrier). I therefore declare a conflict of interest. The items were originally created in good faith and the intention was to add sources afterwards. I am providing them below.

About the items

Report concerning User:Silesianus

Silesianus 🔕 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • SUL (for IP: GUC)) Already reported in the passt by various users(1, 2, 3) vor vandalism in labels. He was also warned on his talk page, which he ignored. Paranoid25 (talk) 10:45, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

How is adding a valid label a vandalism? This edit hold no defense. --Silesianus (talk) 11:11, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

You are adding labels that are not needed on completely random pages, apart from the last ones which coincidentally are the ones I modified. Paranoid25 (talk) 11:16, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

What? "Labels that are not needed"? What are you talking about? --Silesianus (talk) 11:17, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

Exactly what I said. On some pages, adding multilingual labels is not necessary. If you want to help complete the labels, translate them into the various languages. Paranoid25 (talk) 11:19, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

@Paranoid25: Why should 'mul' be removed: [1][2]?

@Silesianus: Why should these labels be added: [3][4]? --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 20:11, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

Because it translates differently in some languages. The multilingual label should only be used for elements that don't require translation because they are the same in all languages. Paranoid25 (talk) 22:09, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

@Paranoid25: How do you expect, e.g., HyperX to be translated? (Neither Russian, Ukrainian nor Armenian wikis bothered transcribing it.)

they are the same in all languages This is not a requirement. Otherwise it would be prohibited to enter a language-specific label when a multilingual exists, and vice versa. 'mul' is described as "default for all languages". If a string is a good default, it belongs to 'mul'. --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 07:13, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

I have concers with a merge Silesianus did farmer (Q131512) and farmer (Q97940862)... I have also noticed merges between the concepts “bonde” and “lantbrukare”. This is problematic from a data-modeling perspective.

These terms are often translated into English as “farmer”, but in Swedish they are not strictly synonymous. “Bonde” has historical and social connotations, while “lantbrukare” is a more modern and technical term. Reliable Swedish sources use both terms with different meanings depending on context.

In Wikidata, labels and items should reflect the terminology used in sources rather than normalize different expressions into a single concept. Merging items that represent distinct concepts effectively removes linguistic nuance present in the sources and collapses semantically different concepts into one entity.

This kind of merge can therefore be considered damaging to the data model, because it introduces semantic loss and makes it impossible to represent distinctions that exist in the original sources. In practice it functions similarly to label vandalism: the data becomes less precise and less faithful to the terminology used in references.

Wikidata is a multilingual knowledge base, and preserving language-specific distinctions is an important part of maintaining data quality. Concepts that appear identical in English translation should not automatically be merged if they represent different concepts in other languages.

• farmer (Q131512) is used by > 44 000 objects the merge therefore affects a very large number of statements and undermines thousands of hours of community modelling work that depended on the distinction. This also highlights a structural weakness in Wikidata: a single well-intended edit by someone unfamiliar with the linguistic distinctions in a language can unintentionally cause large-scale semantic damage, which suggests that stronger safeguards or review mechanisms may be needed for merges affecting widely used items

As a consequence, datasets derived from Wikidata that are used by the Swedish research community have become less useful, since distinctions that previously existed in the data have been removed.

Question on administrators

Hello, why previous unresolved report request was archived by a bot, while it was not marked by a label that it was resolved or any action or response were taken? Wikidata:Administrators'_noticeboard/Archive/2026/02#Report concerning User:UBQITOSW. Reports on one of the parties are just piling up in the noticeboard without it being resolved. I see that another new report is here, while it should be resolving together in one space. Thank you. ThecentreCZ (talk) 04:26, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Follow-up on archived undeletion request for Q137924486

My previous undeletion request regarding Q137924486 was archived while unresolved, so I am adding a short follow-up here in case further input is possible.

In addition to the sources already mentioned (AACR abstracts, conference documentation, and the Europeana Pro mention), I also realized that the subject appears in official government registries that could be linked as identifiers if the item were restored.

For example: UK Companies House director listing: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/Nb9rdHWUQmpUQP_Se1X96X1Fug8/appointments

Company registrations that appear in the U.S. SAM.gov system with CAGE codes and UEI identifiers (for example Waxwing Epitome Ltd registered in SAM, and UEIs associated with Eloi Holding Inc. and Koncado Ltd and CAGE codes associated with Ampacity Ltd, Distril Limited) he's mentioned as the principal person in this entities. Some of this entities have an independent media coverages and strong public link with government institutions and mentioned of engagement on capital venture firms websites.

If the item were restored, these identifiers and sources could be connected to the relevant company and institutional records in Wikidata.

I would appreciate any guidance from the community on whether the existing sources are sufficient or whether additional types of sources would be required before restoring or recreating the item.

Thank you for your time. NatHaddan (talk) 09:02, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Request: Merge items Q138632650 → Q138632795 & Resolve Urdu Wikipedia Sitelink Conflict

Subject: Request for Merge and Sitelink Conflict Resolution (Q138632650 → Q138632795)

Dear Wikidata administrators,

I am writing to report a sitelink conflict regarding two Wikidata items that refer to the same individual:

1. **Q138632650** – currently linked to the Urdu Wikipedia article "یوسف خان آباخیل سدوزئی"

  (https://ur.wikipedia.org/wiki/یوسف_خان_آباخیل_سدوزئی)

2. **Q138632795** – currently linked to the Pashto Wikipedia article "یوسف خان اباخیل سدوزی"

  (https://ps.wikipedia.org/wiki/یوسف_خان_اباخیل_سدوزی)

Both items describe the same person: **Yusuf Khan Abakhel Sadozai**, a Pashtun author and researcher from Azad Kashmir. When attempting to add the Urdu Wikipedia sitelink to Q138632795, the system prevents it, stating that the link is already used by Q138632650.

• • Problem Summary:**

- Each Wikipedia page can only be linked to one Wikidata item. - Both items represent the same person, causing duplication and preventing proper sitelink association.

• • Suggested Solution:**

1. **Merge Q138632650 into Q138632795**:

  - This will consolidate all statements, labels, descriptions, aliases, and sitelinks into a single item.
  - Both Urdu and Pashto Wikipedia links will then exist under Q138632795.

2. Alternatively, if a merge is not appropriate, please **remove the Urdu Wikipedia sitelink from Q138632650**, allowing it to be added to Q138632795.

• • Relevant Links:**

- Q138632650: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138632650 - Q138632795: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q138632795 - Urdu Wikipedia: https://ur.wikipedia.org/wiki/یوسف_خان_آباخیل_سدوزئی - Pashto Wikipedia: https://ps.wikipedia.org/wiki/یوسف_خان_اباخیل_سدوزی

• • Policy References:**

- Merge Items: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Merge_items - Sitelinks uniqueness: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Sitelinks

I kindly request the administrators to either merge the items or remove the conflicting sitelink so that the Wikidata entries accurately reflect the information from both Wikipedia versions.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

I wrote the request myself. My English is not very strong, so I tried to explain the situation as clearly as possible.

Both items (Q138632650 and Q138632795) describe the same person, and the Urdu and Pashto Wikipedia pages are about the same individual. Because of the sitelink conflict, I cannot link the Urdu article to the correct item.

Could you please help resolve the sitelink conflict or merge the items if appropriate?

Thank you. صارف عبداللہ (talk) 13:00, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

A file the user keeps adding

The user is edit warring. Not respecting BRD, he removed the useful image multiple times without discussion.

Notably, he did not replace the image with another better one but just removed it. I've created this item and the image illustrates the subject well and at a glance.

Additionally, he keeps adding this self-drawn slop on the right to Atompunk (Q56298960) despite that it's not just a) low-quality but also b) not really illustrating the subject (background barely discernable and not about the subject, badly-drawn woman in foreground entirely unrelated). There the user has double standards where he just reverted my removal which he's complaining about here. I've asked the user to take it to the talk page to discuss it; instead he brought it here. Prototyperspective (talk) 15:22, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

You fired the fourth shot in the edit war. You aren’t respecting BRD either. I’m not discussing an unrelated data item here— as you said, use the talk page. Dronebogus (talk) 21:45, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

Request for restoration of Q138496520 (Mark Szymanski)

Hello. I created Q138496520 (Mark Szymanski) a few days ago and was in the process of adding references and verifiable statements when it was deleted. I had entered the factual information first and planned to add sources, but didn't get the opportunity before it was flagged and removed.

I'm requesting restoration so I can properly build out the item with references. I believe it meets criterion 2 of WD:N. Here are the independent, third-party sources:

If restored, I will add these as proper references to the item. I just needed more time to get everything in. Thank you. MarkJSzymanski (talk) 18:12, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

Appeal for deletion of Q138643991 - Natalia Johansson (virtual influencer)

Hello, I noticed you deleted item Q138643991 (Natalia Johansson) as spam/advertising. I'd like to respectfully appeal this decision and provide context. Natalia Johansson is an AI-generated virtual fashion influencer based in Madrid, active since November 2025. She meets Wikidata's notability criteria for the following reasons: Media coverage: She has been featured in over 79 Spanish digital media outlets (El Confidencial Digital, Periodista Digital, Madrid Diario, El Boletín, Región Digital, among others) as of March 2026, with a combined estimated reach of over 585,000 impressions. Print media: She was featured in the March 2026 issue of Women Fitness magazine (pages 4–17), an internationally distributed publication. Social media presence: Active Instagram account @natt.alia2007 with over 4,000 followers and verified TikTok presence. Category: She falls under the established Wikidata category Q105095276 (virtual influencer), which already includes documented entries for similar AI-generated characters such as Lil Miquela and Aitana López. I am the creator of this character and was not attempting to spam — I was documenting a legitimate digital entity with verifiable public presence. I am happy to provide source URLs for all claims. Could you please consider restoring the item or advising on what additional notability evidence would be required? Thank you for your time
