ZandDev (talk) 15:23, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

@ZandDev: Perhaps you were trying to add the sitelinks under the "wikipedia" section? Try adding them under "Multilingual sites", add "metawiki" in the first column, then "Translation of the week/2004 translations/Archive" for example in the second column. It probably won't work if you have an "m:" interwiki prefix. Infrastruktur (talk) 08:31, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

User:Бучач-Львів

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

the user is well known in the Ukrainian-language Wikipedia as a participant in edit wars. Actually here https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110070377 he started a war of edits. I ask the project administrators to respond. Thank you. Jphwra (talk) 14:51, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

@Jphwra: he has done over 125,000 edits. And edit-wars (if there are?) seem to Ukrainian-language specific. Could @Ymblanter help? I also noticed that he doesn't respond at his talk page Estopedist1 (talk) 16:01, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
@Estopedist1:I will say so. In our Ukrainian wiki, it has an absolutely bad reputation and progressive blocking due to numerous violations related to any language. so you should not focus on the number of edits here. By the way, he was banned for life from the English and Russian Wikipedias, and was also banned from the commons for one year due to such actions. Thank you. --Jphwra (talk) 16:10, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
if you could try to engage the user on the talk page and if they don't respond then we can block for failing to respond. not speaking the language makes it hard for me to assess if what they've done is block worthy. BrokenSegue (talk) 16:14, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
he arranges editing wars in the Ukrainian-language Wikipedia, which is why he has progressive blocking there. Besides, he stalked me on Facebook. Therefore, I'm sorry, but here, most likely, there should be blocking as a commns for one year or for life. Otherwise you get harassed by him all over wikipedia like I did back in the day. --Jphwra (talk) 16:19, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
I blocked the user indef on the English Wikipedia, and they are now convinced that I am on Putin's payroll trying to suppress everything Ukrainian. Since I am getting death threats related to my activity in Wikimedia projects about weekly, I would rather not get involved with the user here. They do not speak any foreign languages, and it looks to me like their reverts related to a Spanish / Catalan names are not justified. Ymblanter (talk) 16:11, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
strange position Here we are talking about a war of edits from his side. If it is not stopped, tomorrow there will be an even bigger editing war --Jphwra (talk) 16:19, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
Sure, but if I get involved your compatriots will give me more death threats. It is no fun receiving them. Ymblanter (talk) 16:41, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
Ok, since apparently nothing is happening, I have given them a very clear warning of an imminent block and alerted them of this thread. Ymblanter (talk) 18:45, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

The wikipedist Jphwra, who started the discussion in this case is known to be actively involved in the edit wars himself. Also known for allowing himself to outright lie about the mythical stalking on FB. At the same time, he himself allows blatantly boorish statements against those Wikipedians whose views he does not like - and after that he does not ask for forgiveness, nor realizes the inadmissibility of such actions. Here is one example of why he was blocked. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 06:37, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

As for the title of the article. Ferran Jutglà is a Catalan player of the Catalan national team, so his surname is spelled differently than the names of the Spaniards. A famous example is Josep Guardiola (his name is ukr. Жузеп, no ukr. Хосеп). As for this element, please note that I edited this element on September 20, 2022, and there is every reason to consider Jphwra's actions as an edit war. In addition, there are sources in Ukrainian, which I rely on, but Jphwra completely ignores them both in the article on the Ukrainian Wikipedia and here. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 06:52, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Catalan_orthography. j = /ʒ/, tg = /d͡ʒ/. Jutglà = /ʒud͡ʒla/ = ukr. Жуджла, which is confirmed by the sources. Unfortunately, many of the sports journalists in Ukraine do not know this detail, so they write his last name "in Spanish". --Бучач-Львів (talk) 07:32, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

@Jphwra. I brought only one example of your flagrant violation of several rules. Well, show something similar here, if, for example, I ever wrote on the Ukrainian wiki (in fact, I never called anyone on Wikipedia like that). My blocking in Ukrwiki is primarily the result of a biased attitude of several administrators, and nothing more (some of them directly say: in Wikipedia there is neither fairness nor 100% enforcement of the rules, because people make mistakes). And they relate in many respects to linguistic issues proper (letter Ґ, dialect words etc). And you know this well, but still you stubbornly don't tell a truth... --Бучач-Львів (talk) 13:48, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Although some of the edits are questionable, it is by no means vandalism
I do not see necessity for admin intervention Ghuron (talk) 11:11, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
Thanks Ghuron. Infrastruktur (talk) 11:45, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
The problem is that, if we have a good-faith user and we need to engage them in a discussion about one or two edits that were questionable, it is impossible in the case of IPv6. As soon as you post to any User Talk page, the editor will be gone from that address and will not receive any notification.
As I've recently explained here on this noticeboard, while the network portion of an IPv6 address is very often static and stable, IPv6 Interface IDs are naturally ephemeral and all 64-bits on the RHS can change by the hour, by the day, without the user's intent. It is by design and by implementation.
Tracked in Phabricator
Task T112325
So, since it is impossible to drop notes on a User Talk page, sometimes admins have found it helpful to give a short block, even for a good-faith user, just to get their attention enough to stop and discuss an edit. This is especially in the case where the user is making many edits without already communicating through talk pages and edit summaries.
I have found that the general consensus of Wikimedia editors is that we edit collegially and that means that we communicate, by edit summaries, talk pages, and discussions. If a user has not communicated, and we can't communicate effectively with them, sometimes we need to get their attention anyway. Elizium23 (talk) 18:20, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
✓ Range-blocked for one month by Multichill. Rationale: "Mass removal of statements from galaxies. Please login so discussion is possible" Estopedist1 (talk) 20:30, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
In my opinion administrators should never have been put in a situation where they are compelled out of necessity to use their tools to deal with the shortcomings of the Mediawiki software. How many foundation employees does it take to change a lightbulb anyways? Infrastruktur (talk) 20:34, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
Yeah, I know, and I sympathize with this. But here are two more angles on it:
20 years ago, user talk pages for IPv4 editors made sense. At least some of those were stable or static. Even if an editor hopped IPs, they would be limited to a certain range with a comparatively small number (so you "only" have to search 254 user talk pages...)
But the world changed around us, and when MediaWiki began to fully support IPv6, the above paradigm was adopted as if it's the same thing, but it's not. IPv6 made significant protocol changes, security mitigations, and upgrades. So maintaining the status quo by developers is something that led us here.
Furthermore, this is low on developer priority, because guess what. We are supposed to be in for a major Privacy Upgrade. The WMF legal team and the developers have agreed that exposing users' IP addresses is a privacy issue, and yes, I agree, even more so with IPv6 where the user's true and stable address is more likely to exposed, because of reduced presence of NAT and proxies and other obfuscating technologies.
So we'll need to deal with the drawbacks of the software for now. The much-vaunted Privacy Upgrades have been proposed and discussed and tested and there are even some minor related rollouts so far, but sooner or later, MediaWiki is actually going to cloak all IP editor addresses from public view, and the associated User Talk pages won't be available anymore, and something is going to replace all that, and we'll need to adapt to whatever those somethings are.

Please protect 2023–2024 one-year-period and similar

Some quite persistent vandal using various IP-accounts has (again) started vandalizing primarily the english descriptions of 2023–2024 one-year-period (Q53386234), 2024–2025 one-year-period (Q53386265), 2025–2026 one-year-period (Q53389789), 2026–2027 one-year-period (Q53389812) and 2023–24 La Liga (Q117246391). Earlier seasons of La Liga (Q324867) has for years been vandalized in exactly the same way. The one-year-period overlapping two calendar years (Q30227593)s are fairly heavily used, so I think they should be semiprotected for a long time. Hjart (talk) 06:26, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

 Comment You mean the Wikidata infobox at Commons? Template:Wikidata Infobox‏‎ (used on 4,858,175 pages). MsynABot is automatically protecting items in use on more than 500 pages. I searched through the tabular data file it uses to determine which pages to protect but I could not find for instance 2023–2024 one-year-period (Q53386234), although the infobox clearly references that item on one of the category pages at Commons. Edit: I'm guessing because the list is limited to 100K items, suggesting the items are actually not used in a lot of places yet. Infrastruktur (talk) 13:58, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
@Infrastruktur I don't mean any infoboxes. Please see the history of i.e. 2023–24 La Liga (Q117246391). It was crazy today. Hjart (talk) 19:19, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
@Hjart: Since you asked for long-term protection. I'm just making sure there were no misunderstandings. When it comes to predictable vandalism from people who are easily blocked, there is something to be said for leaving these items unprotected as a honeypot. Infrastruktur (talk) 19:14, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
@Infrastruktur This is apparently throw-away accounts being used. This is not something easily prevented by blocking one or two people and I don't think this case is useful as a honeypot. Hjart (talk) 19:23, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

@Deronmen Hi! Welcome to Wikidata. Have you had a chance to read Wikidata:Guide to requests for undeletion?
I had a look at Emu's review and it seems pretty reasonable. I wanted to pick up on a few points:
  • In general, we don't consider that the existence of a Google Knowledge Graph identifier is sufficient to establish notability. In part this is because the information is often sourced from Wikidata, making it circular. This is why Emu said that link is "irrelevant".
  • Wikidata is a language-independent project. Participation is not contingent on being able to communicate in English (although obviously it helps). When Emu speaks of "choice of language", he is not referring to Turkish vs English, but the fact that you seem to be making accusations against him unrelated to the topic at hand.
  • I took a look at your last link and I was able to open it, but it doesn't seem to provide any information beyond cast membership.
Looking around, I was able to find https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13723786/ and https://www.kinopoisk.ru/name/6966654/ but no substantial independent coverage. Have any major newspapers or magazines interviewed this actor?
I see that requesting the undeletion of this item is the only thing you have done on this project. Could you please clarify what your interest is here? Are you being paid to insert this item? What is your relationship to @Erinmannn and @Derkenn who actually created and edited the deleted item? Thanks, Bovlb (talk) 17:36, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Since the language I use is translation, you think it is harsh, of course not. Deronmen (talk) 18:13, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
Note that Wikidata's notability criterias are technical and not based on merit. If the actor qualifies for a page on turkish Wikipedia, and a page is made, that will automatically make her notable on Wikidata. See Turkish Wikipedia notability policy. Infrastruktur (talk) 07:42, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Spam filter preventing update of official website

I'm attempting to update the official website of UGG to https://www.ugg.com but the spam filter is stopping me.

@Mortein: What looks like happened is you triggered a filter that is supposed to prevent simple changing of "official website" statements. The preferred way to add a new official website is to add an "end date" qualifier to the old statement, or possibly a "latest date" qualifier if you're unsure about which date the old domain stopped being used. Then add a new statement for the new website along with a "start time" or "latest start date" qualifier, and mark the statement with "preferred rank". Try it out, it should work.

This is above the pay-grade of a admin, so I would ask I guess someone from the foundation to look into this and take action and/or make recommendations. Infrastruktur (talk) 21:05, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Ivan Ivanov sounds like a really common name and as you note might not be real anyways. I'm not that worried. BrokenSegue (talk) 21:21, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
Ivan Ivanov even sounds almost like a placeholder (stereotypical) name. It's like e.g. John Smith. Even if the name is real, there may be several hundreds of people throughout Russia born in 1980 and called Ivan Ivanov. I am somewhat more confused about the English labels for hundreds of items they created. The contibutor modelled the legal names there in a way typical to Russia (last name + given name + patronym), while in English we prefer to enter 'first name + last name' as label, and optionally 'first name + patronym + last name' as an alias. The order 'last name + given name + patronym' can be existed as an alias too since such an order is used by the OpenSanctions database. I hope it's possible to be fixed by a bot. --Wolverène (talk) 06:00, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
Considering the jokey Super Mario reference on his user page, and the facility with which he's executing rapid edits with quickstatements, I would consider that this is a sock puppet, perhaps a legitimate alternate, of an experienced Wikipedia editor. Elizium23 (talk) 20:47, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
Good observation. There still remains the issue of other users being exposed to risk from editing these items, which is something I very much do take seriously. Frankly I'm tempted to mass-delete this user's contributions because of the egoistic disregard of the safety of his fellow editors. If he want to doXX Wagners fine, but leave other people out of it. Infrastruktur (talk) 10:33, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
I am not sure that I follow the logic or see how other Wikimedia editors are being drawn into this issue, but since it's extra-mega-above my pay grade, I should probably keep my nose out. Why not contact Trust & Safety? They should be the ones involved for such a case. Elizium23 (talk) 12:11, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Gobonobo - editwarring

Gobonobo (обс. · журналы · блокировки · фильтры · whois) 

Asorev (talk) 10:53, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
I reverted a couple of edits by Asorev at NAFO (Q113640505) where they changed the Russian description to интернет-сообщество, созданное антисемитом для пропаганды ненависти к россиянам (an online community created by an anti-Semite to promote hatred of Russians). Asorev has now created Kamil Dyszewski (Q121596729), which labels the founder of the organization, a living person, as "an instance" of an antisemite. gobonobo + c 12:52, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
I proved this fact with a reliable source. This source claims that Kamil Dyszewski, 2 years before founding NAFO, posted anti-Semitic cartoons on the Internet mocking the suffering of Jews and portraying Hitler. Asorev (talk) 13:12, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
@ Asorev: It is never appropriate to list something as instance of (P31) antisemite (Q15954665). That is a fact no matter whether the person is an anti-semite or not. I would encourage you to spend some time learning about wikidata more generally before you jump into making controversial changes. A good way to learn would be to look at existing items and see how they represent information. See for example Adolf Hitler (Q352) which is tagged as having political ideology (P1142) antisemitism (Q22649). Further, statements asserting "antisemitism" need references. You did not provide any reference for your change to NAFO (Q113640505).
Further, @gobonobo: generally you should try talking things out with other editors before escalating to the admins. BrokenSegue (talk) 19:57, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
@BrokenSegue: I would never waste administrators' time with anything so trivial. I was not the one who escalated this—I only made a comment after Asorev started this thread using my username. This user was previously blocked on Russian Wikipedia for the same behavior, editwarring biased language into articles about the same organization. gobonobo + c 21:03, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
I was not blocked for editwarring on Russian Wikipedia. Asorev (talk) 21:15, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
Sorry I misread. Anyways, @Asorev: please read Help:Description specifically the part about " Try to keep descriptions neutral... avoid including controversial claims in descriptions".

Re: Caste based disruption

I had already submitted an ANI report about a month ago (Wikidata:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive/2023/07#Report concerning User:Ancient Warrior History) on Indian WP:CASTE based disruption to descriptions and labels (especially en/hi). A CU report also followed: Wikidata:Requests for checkuser/Case/Ancient Warrior History (new socks have also popped up here, particularly Hardcore Statutory).

But looks like some new accounts are coming up for more caste-related disruption to items, the lastest being Chaudhary Akash Rao.

@1997kB: did want to look into it but wasn't able to before it was archived. I ask the admins here again to reign in these caste based warriors (especially the Ancient Warrior History case) as it is already getting out of hand, a spate of articles had to be recently protected at enwiki due to the same problem.

restoration of a deleted item Q121493568

We do have references of our organization from public sources, I also put this upon creating the item, so I wasn't sure why it was deleted: https://perfectketo.com/intermittent-fasting-working-out/ https://startupsavant.com/news/time-to-start-new-restaurant https://azbigmedia.com/business/13-quotes-about-forgetting-the-past-and-moving-on/ https://www.allbusiness.com/10-ways-leaders-can-reevaluate-business-goals-in-the-midst-of-change-216354-1.html https://disruptmagazine.com/what-are-the-best-entrepreneur-podcasts/

Thank you for considerations. Carnivorestyle-cs (talk) 18:27, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Those references are a little weak though maybe it can be restored. The item that was deleted wasn't coherently structured. Compare it to how The French Laundry (Q2364717) (a different restaurant) is represented. BrokenSegue (talk) 18:43, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
As I see from the deletion log, the item had just one link to startupsavant.com . All the links you mentioned are rather related to Mr Woods than to his restaurant, and so we could rather assume his notability (criterion 2) than restaurant's. Something like that. --Wolverène (talk) 04:50, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Math edits

Hello. I seem to have gotten involved in an edit war with user @慈居, see for instance here. Could someone please have a look? Thanks. Toni 001 (talk) 06:46, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

I belive my edits to math items were mostly correct, and you were too hasty to revert many of them. I have started two discussions (here and here) related to your revert, but you participated in neither of them. Now that you have finally started a discussion in my talk page (for some accusations, though), why not stop until we reach some consensus? 慈居 (talk) 07:20, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
It's my understanding that editors are encouraged to be bold and edit away till an edit is reverted. At that point it's inappropriate to redo the edit. Rather, a discussion can be started, holding off any further edits. I explained on a talk page why especially merges are tricky. Toni 001 (talk) 07:39, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
That depends. I don't redo the edit just because I don't agree with the revert. an example. For you, why would I start a discussion while not expecting you to comment anything, since you never have. And guess what, you wrote a post in Administrators' noticeboard! Then deep down, you and I both know that you just want to carry on the conflicts between us. Therefore, I won't accept your demand to "hold off any further edits". But anyway, any discussion is welcome, for me. It does bother me to start one myself. 慈居 (talk) 08:35, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
As for the merge, unlike what seems to worry you, there are only a few usages of the involved item (all usage of Q1174982 as values). This is very often the case for a math-related item. I can handle them all, even if the merge was wrong. 慈居 (talk) 09:06, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
There are uses of Wikidata identifiers outside of Wikimedia projects. Therefore, updating links after a wrong merge is not a solution. Toni 001 (talk) 06:27, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
Okay. Then I'd say the merge was not wrong. Please feel free to start a discussion. 慈居 (talk) 06:38, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
I think I should notify you that there is an ongoing discussion about the merge in my talk page. 慈居 (talk) 08:38, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

This user has long been known for his incorrect and very odd batches (example). When he was asked to stop creating such batches blindly, in response he blamed other users for the fact that they were the ones who should to correct the wrong entries in Mix'n'Match, even though he was the one who created batch and he was fully responsible for his edits. It is important to note at this point: if he knew there might be incorrect entries in the m'n'm catalog, he should never have created the batch without some sort of check for duplicate, incorrect or even vandalized entries. Unfortunately Matlin didn't realize his mistakes, he was not responding to issues raised, not taking responsibility for incorrect edits and subsequently was blocked indefinitely, which is quite a reasonable decision.
BTW he recently already used a sock, but was caught and promptly blocked. Despite being blocked in Wikidata, Matlin still, as I see it, continues to dabble with catalogs in Mix'n'Match. In this case I'm wondering if it's possible to restrict his access there as well. Maybe we should contact Magnus?
P.S. I can even guess how Matlin makes such batches. It's very simple: he takes one of the m'n'm catalogs (like this one), goes to the "Manually sync catalog" option, then where it says ".... connections here, but not on Wikidata" he presses "Update Wikidata" button, then he is automatically redirected to QuickStatements and there he presses the "Run" button without any check for incorrect values and voilà, we have batches exactly like this one or this one. Regards Kirilloparma (talk) 02:24, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
I've fixed the MnM catalogue. Removed 19k links based on this batch, and restarted the auxiliary matcher based on linked IDs from the other catalogues - the new batch ended up with only 150+ IDs. I suppose there were other matching methods besides obsolete connections, but I do not see how they could be filtered in any way. Solidest (talk) 13:46, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Reporte concerning User:Boloboi

User: Boloboi (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • SUL (for IP: GUC)) — Reasons: Vandalism.

Español: Un cordial saludo a todos. Quiero reportar un problema con el usuario Boloboi. Actualmente, éste usuario está bloqueado de Wikipedia, por realizar ediciones arbitrarias a diferentes artículos, además de hacer caso omiso a la recomendación del bibliotecario BetoCG. En estos momentos, Boloboi sigue haciendo lo mismo, pero ahora en Wikidata. La situación es agotadora.

English: A cordial greeting to all. I want to report a problem with the user Boloboi. Currently, this user is blocked from Wikipedia, for making arbitrary edits to different articles, in addition to ignoring the recommendation of the administrator @BetoCG. At the moment, Boloboi continues to do the same, but now on Wikidata. The situation is exhausting. Californipedia (talk) 22:29, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

Greetings. I've never edited anything without the proper bibliographical references, in addition to the fact that those terms are already in the Wikipedia articles.
Californipedia wants to change the English Wikidata terms to fit the information that the Spanish Wikipedia has.
But as we all know, the articles in Wikipedia vary depending on the language, there will not be the same information on a article in English as on a article in Spanish. Boloboi (talk) 06:32, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
@Californipedia: @Boloboi: Please stop edit warring or you are both going to find yourselves blocked. You appear to be involved in a content dispute over whether the artists are "rappers" or "singers". This is an incredibly minor distinction that should not result in hundreds of reverts. Open a discussion and resolve the dispute. Call for comments from others if you cannot resolve it yourselves. Stop edit warring. BrokenSegue (talk) 19:49, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
Actually, there was a discussion in Spanish Wikipedia, but it ended with me getting blocked when I was doing the right thing.
But let me ask you a question, how do you call artists that make Trap Music in your country? Rappers, right? Boloboi (talk) 20:57, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
rappers are a kind of singer... BrokenSegue (talk) 21:19, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
Excellent answer, BrokenSegue. Hopefully my friend Boloboi manages to finish understanding it. Californipedia (talk) 22:39, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
I'm not taking sides. I would probably refer to most of these people as rappers if asked to describe them in one word. BrokenSegue (talk) 23:42, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
You are not taking sides. You are just being coherent and logical. Californipedia (talk) 00:14, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
So, do you think that it's logical to call these artists rappers? Because I do, but Californipedia keeps insisting on the opposite. Boloboi (talk) 01:47, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
I would be fine calling them singers or rappers. I care more about what the occupation (P106) says. I'm not going to decide this content dispute for you. Take this Wikidata:Project chat if you want a wider discussion. BrokenSegue (talk) 02:33, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
The Wikipedia articles of these artists mention them as rappers and singers, but their main occupation is being rappers, I don't know what is the problem that @Californipedia has with that fact.
But for me, it's fine if we put the two terms, "rapper and singer" Boloboi (talk) 04:12, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

It is very bad that the local administrators do not understand what your actions lead to here and why you are blocked in the Ukrainian Wikipedia and for what actions...

Jphwra (talk) 18:01, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
well, you name the article incorrectly, I say that it needs to be corrected and I write the source which I found, if you don’t want to do it - you suffer ... And now when NickK has corrected your mistake, you don’t suffer anymore? --Бучач-Львів (talk) 10:21, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

This is another portion violations of Wikipedia:Etiquette, persecution, and what is the saddest portion of lie from Jphwra. I (not he) first edited this element 20.09.2022. Jphwra wrote an article on Ukrwiki with a deliberately incorrect title Ферран Хутгла. He was paid attention to his mistake, but he did not want to react at all. Recently, an article in Ukrwiki was renamed to Ферран Жутгла. Jphwra removed alternative surname names from an element for no good reason. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 07:23, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

@ChristianKl: currently the user is blocked in Ukrainian Wikipedia. His changes do not correspond to reality or are such that there may be a continuation of the conflicts that he creates here with his changes. Maybe it's not vandalism, but destructive behavior. In any case, I think it would be appropriate to block the user until February 6, 2024 in order to reduce the negative impact of his actions today and in the future. Thank you. --Jphwra (talk) 05:52, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Transliteration of spanish and portuguese names into cyrillic writing system is permanent problem. For Russian language is exist detailed rules, for using in controversal cases without trusted sources. See Q4204161 as example. If similar rules for Ukrainian Language still not formulated, there is reasonable using name of article in uk-WP as primary label, and another variants as aliases. Kaganer (talk) 01:03, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
@Kaganer: the fact is that Бучач-Львів ignores any language recommendations. Jphwra (talk) 05:40, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
@Kaganer: In fact the fact is that Jphwra is obsessed with the desire of wanting me to be blocked, does not know the rules of Wikidata very well and once again wrote a lie. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 08:49, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
@Бучач-Львів Ok, maybe. But since he made specific claims, let's look at your edits on their essence:
  1. Ferran Jutglà (Q110070377) - your edit added two aliases "Ферран Жутґла" and "Ферран Жуджла" (like as Russian label).
    • My question: these variants is used in the ukraine-language publications? If not, what's the basis for this?
    • My conclusion:  Neutral, rather  Support (seems realistic). But there is preferably based on sources rather than what you personally hear. And maybe Russian transliteration is not very valid alias for Ukrainian, by default.
  2. Ivan Shvets (Q12171412) - your edit Major improving (diff from @Jphwra was incorrect - giving single edit from set ).
    • My question: Why removed "es" and "sq" labels (was added with "nl" transliteration)? No valid reason for this.
    • My conclusion:  Neutral, rather  Support, but needs to restoring "es" and "sq" labels (or explain deletion)
  3. Ivanna Blazhkevych (Q4087950) - your edit Major improving, including correction of citizenship data (diff from @Jphwra was incorrect - giving single edit from set ).
    • My conclusion:  Support
  4. Shanghai (Q8686) - your edit You added ukrainian alias "Шамґай", but this form is not mentioned in the uk-WP (by relevant sitelink)
    • My conclusion:  Neutral, rather  Support. But these aliases should be relevance to linked wiki-article content (even with mentions or notes).
  5. Ferguson (Q2694490) - your edit You move Ukrainian label "Фергюсон" (equal to name of linked wiki-article) to aliases and replace this to "Ферґусон", preferred by You.
    • My conclusion:  Oppose.
  6. HNK Hajduk Split (Q181216) (football club) - your edit You replace Ukrainian label (equal to name of linked wiki-article) to one from aliases, preferred by You. And You didn't even carry that into the aliases list.
    • My conclusion:  Oppose.
  7. Hajduk (Q1783151) (disambiguation) - your edit Major improving, but added Ukrainian label that not equal to name of linked wiki-article; and alias also not present (but value added into round brackets in description).
    • My conclusion:  Neutral, rather  Support, but label should be linked with the wiki-article (IMHO). By my experience, round brackets in description is used not very systematically. I'm avoiding this.
My summary: no one cases, that may be clarified as "vandalism". Some edits seems as not quite optimal, but this is in scope of "regular works", and may be disputed or discussed case by case. Kaganer (talk) 20:25, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
@Бучач-Львів, my advice: if you is not agreed with the article naming in the Ukraine WP, it is still not right for you to ignore their practice. You need to achieve unblocking and rebuild your relationship with the uk-WP community. And further patiently promote your approach, gaining support (or, maybe, accept the conventional name in some cases). "Make Wiki, not war".
Also for You may be productive to starting project of adaptation guidelines from this category for language pairs with Ukrainian (with brings specialists and proofed sources). Kaganer (talk) 20:39, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
@Kaganer: Thank you for your time, analysis and advice. I will try to do everything as well as possible. Sorry, I can write a more detailed answer later. Good luck. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 08:14, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
@Kaganer: about Ivan Shvets (Q12171412). As far as I know the transliteration in the Dutch language, the option Ivan Trofimovitsj Sjvets is a transliteration from the Russian language (ru. Иван Трофимович Швец). Ukr. Іван Трофимович Швець = ndl (du). Ivan Trofymovytsj Sjvets. The main option is Ivan Sjvets. That's why it needs to be fixed and that's why I removed these options as the main ones "es" and "sq" labels. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 09:26, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
But You could have just added more correct value into main label for all three cases. Improvement is more preferable that deletion. Current state is fine. Kaganer (talk) 10:06, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

@ChristianKl: I will give only two example when Jphwra wrote an outright lie to me. 1) That's what he accused me of vandalism. Ivanna Blazhkevych (Q4087950) was born 1896, died 1977. Ukraine appeared in 1991... 2) Jphwra 1 + Jphwra 2. Since this is an alternative name, as far as I understand, it is not necessary to write the source. But I wrote link - in a comment to this my edit. Please see P. 3. Китайский страйк. genitive - Шамґаю. So, the nominative — Шамґай. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 09:12, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

But in fact, these last two (maybe even three) edits by Jphwra here are vandalism. however, he writes not true that I did the vandalism [14]. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 11:17, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

you vandalized AGAIN Jphwra (talk) 13:02, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
Бучач-Львів, do you ever admit your mistakes? And in general, do you respond adequately to criticism? I haven't seen this from you in 11 years. Jphwra (talk) 14:30, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

@Kaganer: Thank you for the detailed review of the edits, but here is a recent example of a new destructive edit from a user: Ґаліна Юзєфовіч. That is, this edit was made today, September 13, 2023. At the moment when his questions regarding the expediency of such amendments for today and in the future are being resolved. I do not find any data about such writing (Ґаліна Юзєфовіч). That is, he deliberately continues the policy of pushing his own vision both to Wikidata and to Wikipedia in general. Confessing in this way the politics of conflict, and not finding dialogue. Therefore, unfortunately, I am once again forced to ask the question about the expediency of his edits here. --Jphwra (talk) 20:13, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

@Jphwra: You again said nothing about why you believe the edit that added an alias to be destructive. Please stop doing that. If you want to argue that an edit is "vandalism" or "destructive", argue for that thesis. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 09:46, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
@ChristianKl: I heard you, in the future I will write about "incorrect spelling", but such additions lead to conflicts with us in Wikipedia, which is why it is blocked there again. --Jphwra (talk) 15:07, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
@Jphwra, "destructive edit" is very very strong statement - you shouldn't write like that just because you disagree with something. You may using "controversal" or "disputed" or "unreasonable", so as not to obscure the essence with your emotional assessment.
As far as I know, there are some dialectal differences between regions in Ukrainian, e.g. how extent "plosive /g/" (Ґ) is used. Also i know, that preferential use of "plosive /g/" is characteristic of western regions (Galicia), and his account name may hints at his attraction to this tradition.
I'm seen, that @Бучач-Львів also edited Galina (Q123699) by adding alias "Ґаліна", that is not meet in w:uk:Галина. Right, this is not very fine. @Бучач-Львів, please explain your approach here. Just because "you hear it that way" cannot be a sufficient basis for such edits. This should be based on the tradition of writing that particular word in that way. Unless you can cite an reliable/authoritative source for such writing, you should not attempt to start such a tradition here. Kaganer (talk) 10:46, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
@Kaganer, ChristianKl: well, I will try to avoid the words "vandalism" and "destructive", but I draw attention to the fact that such editing of it leads to conflicts in the Ukrainian-language Wikipedia. And in the end, in August, he received another ban for such actions. So I draw your attention to this very moment. --Jphwra (talk) 15:07, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
Calling something incorrect isn't creating much progress if you aren't providing any explanation. I don't know anything about the merits of different transliteration of Ukrainian.
I think Kaganer's request for Бучач-Львів to justify why he believes that a certain alias makes sense to add, is exactly the kind of way you approach a conflict like that. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 16:06, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
I apologize to those who don't know the Russian language, but my knowledge of the English isn't enough to give an accurate answer @Kaganer:, but my knowledge of Russian will be enough. I will duplicate the answer below using Google Translate.
По мнению украинских филологов, есть два основных способа транслитерации русских и белорусских имён, отчеств и фамилий в украинском языке. Основной - и он прописан в Украинском правописании 2019 (укр. Український правопис 2019) - это их написание согласно с украинкими традициями (можно сказать - украинизация). То есть, например, русс. Марина = укр. Марина, русс. Галина = укр. Галина, русс. Владимир = укр. Володимир, русс. Сергей = укр. Сергій, русс. Василий = укр. Василь, русс. Игорь = укр. Ігор, русс. Евгений = укр. Євген и т. д. Другой способ (метод) можно встретить куда реже, насколько знаю, он не прописан в Украинском правописании 2019 - это транслитерация буквами украинской азбуки. То есть, напр.: русс. Марина = укр. Маріна, русс. Галина = укр. Ґаліна, русс. Владимир = укр. Владімір, русс. Сергей = укр. Сєрґєй, русс. Василий = укр. Васілій, русс. Евгений = укр. Євґєній и т. д. Этот метод используют, насколько знаю, некоторые украиские издания (например, Zbruč (Збруч)). Примеры: Маріна, Владімір, Сєрґєй, Васілій, Євґєній. Вот именно поэтому я и написал как альтернативный вариант Ґаліна Юзєфовіч.
Google translate. According to Ukrainian philologists, there are two main ways of transliterating Russian and Belarusian names, patronymics and surnames in the Ukrainian language. The main one - and it is spelled out in Ukrainian spelling 2019 (Ukrainian spelling 2019) - is their spelling in accordance with Ukrainian traditions (one might say - Ukrainization). That is, for example, rus. Марина = ukr. Марина, rus. Галина = ukr. Галина, rus. Владимир = ukr. Володимир, rus. Сергей = ukr. Сергій, rus. Василий = ukr. Василь, rus. Игорь = ukr. Iгор, rus. Евгений = ukr. Євген, etc. Another method can be found much less frequently, as far as I know, it is not spelled out in the Ukrainian spelling 2019 - this is transliteration with the letters of the Ukrainian alphabet. That is, f. e.: rus. Марина = ukr. Маріна, rus. Галина = ukr. Ґаліна, rus. Владимир = ukr. Владімір, rus. Сергей = ukr. Сєрґєй, rus. Василий = ukr. Васілій, rus. Евгений = ukr. Євґєній, etc. This method is used, as far as I know, by some Ukrainian publications (for example, Zbruč (Zbruch)). Examples: Маріна, Владімір, Сєрґєй, Васілій, Євґєній. That’s exactly why I wrote Ґаліна Юзєфовіч as an alternative. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 07:02, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
@Kaganer, ChristianKl: The fact is that all of his changes that I mentioned in accordance with our policies (I mean the Ukrainian-language section) are controversial and he is well aware of this and nevertheless continues to push through Wikidata. Just like his latest edit, where he also gives conversing versions that will obviously conflict. Because it is an anachronism, it is completely inappropriate here and these are not authoritative sources. Therefore, I strongly ask you to react in this way to these actions of the user. --Jphwra (talk) 15:20, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
@Бучач-Львів, if "Another method can be found much less frequently", that in which authoritative sources it can be found? You listed one single site. What else? Is there any reason why such a rare approach is worth mentioning (and causing conflict)? Advocacy of marginalized concepts (including in linguistics) - this lies outside the scope of Wikidata. Kaganer (talk) 21:34, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
@Jphwra question for You: If this option rare and unofficial, but acceptable (and used by someone), why can't it be specified as an alias? Kaganer (talk) 21:38, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
This is a little-known publication of local importance. So that you understand, this is just a small-town newspaper, not an encyclopedia or dictionary of a language university, etc. That is, it cannot be an authoritative source because it actually contains errors. Actually, because of this, he received several restrictions in the Ukrainian-language Wikipedia, in particular, he was prohibited from renaming, because he gave the names to the articles just according to his own preferences. Jphwra (talk) 04:34, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
@Kaganer, ChristianKl: Jphwra accused me of vandalism without any reason. I don't see his apology... in fact, Jphwra is pushing his POV here, misleading you, using even banal deception (because Zbruč (newspaper) (Q25444886) is not a local publication, among the authors are, for example, Shevchenko National Prize (Q2473104) Shevchenko Prize laureates  Taras Prokhasko (Q2029665), Vitaly Portnikov (Q1965178), famous Ukrainian writers Yurii Andrukhovych (Q452371), Yuriy Vynnychuk (Q2028631) and others;  the fact that Jphwra called Lviv (Q36036) a small town is already just that this doesn’t fit into any framework at all..... How much longer will the persecution and other violations from Jphwra continue here? He isn't interested in philological issues (his main interest is sports), he knows the Ukrainian language worse than I do (at one time before he contemptuously called me a “philologist”). The same applies to what he says, including the ban on me renaming articles (this biased and unconstructive decision was made primarily under pressure from a group of administrators, and not on the basis of logical arguments, as a result, there are now many articles on the Ukrwiki about obvious mistakes regarding Poland, which I could have improved, but...). --Бучач-Львів (talk) 07:41, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
@Kaganer: in general, one of the main conflicts in Ukrwiki is spelling. Some users still want to write in the old spelling and ignore the new one. Also ignore various authoritative sources, calling them non-authoritative, marginal, small-town, anachronistic, etc. Without any reason...  A linguist who talks about different translation methods is Oleksandra Serbenska (Q12152197) (ukr. Олександра Сербенська, doctor of philological sciences, professor of the Ivan Franko Lviv National University etc.). I read this point of view of hers in an interview with her several years ago, in the all-Ukrainian newspaper Express Ekspres (Q1323624) (ukr. Штифурко Т. «Володимир» чи «Владімір» Путін?  in  Експрес. 2016.  № 41 (8700) (2—9 черв.). — С. 2.). Unfortunately, I can’t find the link to the article. More about transliteration. Here is another well-known resource Zaxid.net (Q12073033), where it is transliterated in this way, for example, Міхаіл (Mikhail). Is Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (Q485500) also a "small-town newspaper"? Міхаіл (Mikhail). This refutes Jphwra's claim that these are obvious errors. No, it's a tradition that linguist talk about. Therefore, such variants of translation into Ukrainian cann't be considered as the main ones, but must be considered as alternative ones. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 07:41, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
@Kaganer, ChristianKl: As you can see from these two posts, he does manipulation for him, of course. The Zbruch edition is not an author's source, I don't recall that it was referred to in our Wikipedia, so it is a common practice of this user to bypass the personal restrictions he has in the Ukrainian-language section. In view of the rather long discussion that has already gone round and round, I ask the administrators to decide whether he will continue to create conflicts to which he will return after unlocking on February 6, 2024, or whether these manipulations and creating conflicts should stop. Honestly, I am fed up with these attacks from a user blocked from us on Wikipedia, who continues to attack me here and sow conflicts. --Jphwra (talk) 10:36, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
@NickK: вітаю чи можеш ти надати відповідь добротною англійською мовою щодо цих маніпуляцій Бучач-Львів, того що він перетворив обговорення на черговий треш ходячи по колу, як це зазвичай робить в україномовному розділі просто виснажуючи опонентів, що має місце тут на даний момент. Буду дуже вдячний бо тут якійсь не просто цинізм з боку Бучач-Львів, а відверта неправда по багатьтох аспектах, власне як завжди. --Jphwra (talk) 10:36, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
I would say there is definitely a problem in Бучач-Львів's actions where he puts a Wikidata Ukrainian label which is not equivalent to the ukwiki article name, as a (sort of) a less visible way to promote a version he did not succeed pushing in ukwiki. This is not a deliberate vandalism, but long-term this becomes destructifs because it increases discrepancies on Wikidata, not reduces them. And second point, names are a mess on Wikidata, but pushing a (non-consensual but popular theory) that Russian names are not transliterated but translated does not help resolve this mess — NickK (talk) 10:44, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
That's right... And what about the sources? What pushing are you talking about? it won't suit you (uk. вам)... when there is no source - you (uk. ви) say: "Write the source". When I write a source, you say, "This could be a problem in the future"... Do Wikipedians make predictions? There is a history! We can't change it and we have to know it! that's why I write alternative names. And I do not violate the New spelling. Unlike some administrators (I'm not talking about you) and Ukrwiki users. Regarding, for example, Васілій etc. That's a question for Ukrainian writers and journalists etc. They write like this, and Wikipedia reflects it only. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 11:04, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
in fact, again Jphwra's own POV, manipulations, baseless predictions, etc., not arguments. Is Lviv a small town? My last wikipedia ban resulted in the administrator who blocked me being first warned by another administrators that the decision was wrong, and then asked to remove his admin rights. In fact, another baseless insult from Jphwra, not my cynicism. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 10:38, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
You can see one example of how Jphwra do is in the edit history Ferran Jutglà (Q110070377). Here are the sources that confirm that in the Ukrainian language his surname is written as Жуджла. Since this is incorrect from the point of view of translation, this option can only be used as an alternative. But he isn't there now (it was done by Jphwra). And Jphwra doesn't pay attention to the sources at all, which he talks about so often. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 10:52, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
@NickK: There is an easy way out. You've been editing for a long time, you know the users better. Obviously, it's better to involve users-linguist in this discussion. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 11:14, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
even if I get unblocked in Ukrwiki faster, I have no desire to edit there because of systematic insults and harassment etc of Jphwra. Also because some administrators have not noticed his violations for a long time and do not take any measures. I understand that many people do not have time right now, but... and also due to the fact that I'm being harassed by a user who writes articles with errors and doesn't respond to comments that they should be corrected. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 11:53, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
and again manipulation and insults in my direction. It is obvious that the user is not here to improve work, but for manipulation, destructive editing, harassment, etc. This is all that has a place in our wikipedia, as well as in four wikipedias, he is blocked for life. Jphwra (talk) 12:49, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
instead of arguments, you often write what you want to see (and do you want my indefinite blocking). You called Lviv a small town... Do you think this is a constructive conversation? I proved with diffs that you wrong and should apologize for falsely accusing me of vandalism. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 09:51, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
@Jphwra: To me it currently looks that you started insulting him in the beginning of this exchange by falsely claiming that he's engaging in vandalism.
Wikidata's policies are independent of those of individual Wikipedia's. Anachronistic names are completely okay for aliases in Wikidata. While the label should be the most commonly used name, aliases are for all ways of naming the entity that exist in sources. It doesn't matter when those sources are old.
The general goal of Wikidata is to allow people with different views to coexist and not to enforce the views of one group of people as being the authoritative view that everyone has to follow. When it comes to labels of items, I think it makes sense to follow the norms that were developed in Wikipedia, but as far as aliases are concerned having multiple one causes no problems and allow users that want to find an entity under a given name to find it. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 22:54, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
@ChristianKl: maybe, but when it is deliberately done for conflicts, it is a strange policy, just look at how many blocks a given user has and all of them are due to the promotion of a particular point of view, and not the desire to show the diversity of the language. I understood one thing that destructiveness is one of the great achievements of this project and one user can cause as much trouble as he wants to others in one wikipedia using for another or wikidata or purpose. Think about it for now. I am sorry to read your answer and that you ignore the number of conflicts that this user has created and will create with his edits here. PS. And another important point: he uses not just synonyms, but terms that are not used at all!!!!!! Jphwra (talk) 04:10, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
@Jphwra And you seem to be uninterested in actually making the case about specific examples which is very unproductive. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 14:57, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
I showed his edits, which are controversial. And later there will be a conflict that has actually started here Бучач-Львів. Jphwra (talk) 15:08, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

@Kaganer, ChristianKl: There is another question. There is a user edit where he mentions the 2017 conflict. And it's happening here at Wikidata, do you think it's constructive? And what consequences should this have? Because the mention of the conflict of 2017, which was in the Ukrainian-speaking section and for the mention of which he would have received a long-term blocking from us. Currently, there are no sanctions against him. --Jphwra (talk) 16:04, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Jphwra. Stop manipulating and telling lies. My violations at that time have nothing to do with you! Were you talking about my violations in 2017, right? Then why can't I talk about your gross violations of 2017? Moreover, for which you have not apologized until now, although I gave you a chance to apologize! And I can easily prove with diffs that you have been haunting me since 2017. Just as it is obvious that he accused me of vandalism without any reason. Well, you have enough blocking too. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 10:24, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
я трохи не зрозумів вашої чергової маніпуляції та випаду в свій бік. Поясніть мені більш детально, особливо ваше переслідуваня мене на фейсбуці в 2018 році, ваше постійне переслідування та образи в мій адрес з 2017 року на сторінках нашої Вікіпедії, ваші провокаційні редагування в статтях спортивної тематики тощо. І будь ласка припиніть маніпулювати фактами бо це цинізм вже з вашого боку. Ви заблоковані в нашій вікіпедії, а тут ви і надалі продовжуєте насаджувати власне бачення ігноруючі будь-які джерела. І вас рятує те що, що більшість з цих адміністраторів не розуміє суті питання та суті конфліктів які ви тут породжуєте своїми редагуваннями, а також те що дійсно адміни не розуміють, що ви насправді тут не для покращення, а для маніпуляцій та переслідувань. І це вас, ще раз це повторю, рятує від блокування. І наостанок, я так розумію ви на взяли на озброєння звичайну свою практику з УкрВікі це виснаження опонента та можливе його блокування через можливі випади у ваш бік, так от дуже прошу припинити це та перейти до конструктиву, хоча за 11 років у нас у вікіпедії ви демонстрували завжди протилежні дії. І звернувся українською аби ви зрозуміли хоч щось. Jphwra (talk) 15:45, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
Another portion of incorrect, superficial and untrue words. You didn't write so much about compliance with the Rules and justice here. Now I see your obsession with wanting me to be blocked, and you do a lot of bad things for it... I don't have the time or desire to communicate with a user who behaves so badly. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 11:11, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
you don't have time... But there is plenty of time to persecute, write untruths, make controversial edits and once again: you are saved by the ignorance of these administrators of the Ukrainian language in order to understand who they are really dealing with. Because you always say black for white and vice versa... And it's a shame that you really haven't been blocked here yet. Jphwra (talk) 16:58, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
@Jphwra It's unclear why mentioning a 2017 should have any consequences. What rules do you think are violated by it? Can you please link to the rules that you feel are violated by it? ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 14:58, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
there is a whole discussion in Ukrainian and you are unlikely to understand the essence. But in short, we are talking about the conflict of 2017, in which Бучач-Львів persecuted another user from the Ukrainian-language section, as well as me as an administrator. After that, I created the authority of the administrator, and Бучач-Львів continued to harass both me and another user, for which he later got blocked, and there is also a consensus of administrators to block Buchach-Lviv in case he mentions in any way or persecutes the user Flavius1. But if you think that he should do it using Wikidata, then there are no questions. Jphwra (talk) 15:05, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
@ChristianKl: I have a counter question for you: show the point of the rules according to which Buchach-Lviv has the right to harass another user using, at the same time, Facebook and other Wikipedia projects? --Jphwra (talk) 04:19, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
@Kaganer, ChristianKl: By the way, there is another opinion about this user, although it is in Russian, but you should read it: https://ru.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=133168257&oldid=133160772 --Jphwra (talk) 04:22, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
another violation of the rules and untruth from Jphwra on Ukrwiki. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 08:33, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
Speaking of that's editing. For now I'll tell about some details. Some of user:Bechamel's words are rude and untrue (ru. дикий зоопарк литературного стиля в статьях and especially ukr. «мовою гуцульского бароко»). There are many articles with errors in Ukrwiki (in particular, Jphwra is one of those authors who, instead of correcting his own errors, sometimes prefers to violate the Spelling and persecute those users, who drew his attention to his errors). What was the fault of the Hutsuls (Q828398) ? Sorry, but something similar to elements of chauvinism (Q226418). Personally, I didn't see any articles written in Hutsul dialect in Ukrwiki. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 08:48, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
