Multiple vandalism in JR (Q1312565) from different IPs

I realized that there were multiple IPs that were vandalizing JR (Q1312565) during the last month. The entity was semi-protected for a month (at February) due to excessive vandalism, and a few days after the semi-protection finished the vandalism started again. I restored a version that looks fine, but it might be interesting semi-protecting the entity again, blocking the IPs that vandalized it or some other administrative action. -- Agabi10 (talk) 16:25, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Entry name of Hope Lee should be Wen-Pin H. Lee. It's the professional name used by this composer. Whereas there is a senior FEMALE composer whose professional name is Hope Lee, and she has been published by Furore Verlag since 1996. But because Wikipedia uses Hope Lee for this male composer starting a decade ago, many works, recordings and performances of Hope Lee have been wrongly credited to Wen-Pin H. Lee.

Deletion by a bot

I was just about to write why the data object Edson Montenegro (Q106099414) of Edson Montenegro should be kept and when I wanted to save it, the data object was partially deleted by a bot. Why can Dexbot delete data objects and what must be fulfilled for that he deletes data objects? --Gymnicus (talk) 12:00, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

The item was deleted because there were no incoming links, no statements other than

⟨ subject ⟩ instance of (P31) ⟨ human (Q5)  

 ⟩

and the sitelink was deleted. Francisco Leandro deleted the date of birth, date of death and occupation. Is there anything that makes the actor notable according to WD:N? If so the item can be restored and it can be altered to add statements that make it meet WD:N. Mbch331 (talk) 08:08, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

@Mbch331: So you can simply bypass a normal deletion discussion? Simply delete all statements except "is one" and a bot will delete it directly. Above all, in this case the deletions were also carried out by the deletion requesting party. From my point of view this should be questioned critically. - Now to your question: Yes, I see relevance in him, if you take a closer look at his IMDb profile, you can see that he played in City of God. A film that was nominated for four Academy Awards. This actually means that the data object has an incoming link, namely from the data object City of God (Q220741). Just because he was involved in this film, it should make it relevant in the German Wikipedia. But he has also worked in other films and this number makes him clearly relevant from my point of view. --Gymnicus (talk) 10:20, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

If every deletion has to go through a deletion discussion, it would require a truckload of admins to handle all the requests. Most of the deletions are items that are really not notable and will never be updated to show notability. Restoring an item can always be done. It's a matter of numbers, the number of wrong deletions don't outweigh the number of deletions. I will restore your item. Mbch331 (talk) 10:26, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

User:MADdi0X

MADdi0X (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • SUL (for IP: GUC)) shows a mixture of good-faith and not-so-good-faith edits, especially in the RfD section (i.e. requests for deletion for clearly notable items). When being warned, they either don’t react at all or accuse others (including me) of slander. On User talk:MADdi0X, they tried to intimidate me with threatening to sue me.

This behaviour (mixture of good-faith and not-so-good-faith edits, style of language, threats against other users) very much reminds me of User:MrProperLawAndOrder, a sock puppet of User:Tamawashi. While that may be a coincidence, I do think that the behaviour is unacceptable. --Emu (talk) 13:43, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

I ask the administrators to check. I do not have any other account, and if it is proven that I am innocent, I will definitely complain about this user.--MADdi0X (talk) 13:57, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

This user is constantly harassing me and I asked a lot of questions, where can I complain about this rude user? Please, the managers should introduce me a suitable place to complain about this user.--MADdi0X (talk) 14:06, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

This user is constantly slandering me. Now I have seen two cases from him that he raised here. I ask the managers to stop harassing and harassing this rude user towards me. Why do I want to complain to him? Please check the managers immediately and answer me.--MADdi0X (talk) 14:08, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

A word of advice: If you want to have action taken against me, it might be wise to explain just how I am slandering you. --Emu (talk) 14:10, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

EmuThe first reason is that you call me a sock because of a mistake, because I am a newcomer. This is not a slander.--MADdi0X (talk) 16:40, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

@MADdi0X: I did not accuse you of being I sock, I even explicitly made room for the possibility that this similiar behavior was a coincidence. --Emu (talk) 17:36, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

A new user, starting his career on April 1st with requesting deletions for items that are clearly notable. Strange behaviour. Maybe a sock puppet but User:MrProperLawAndOrder did meritorious work concerning Deutsche Biographie (GND) ID (P7902). --Kolja21 (talk) 16:26, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

Kolja21 I am an Iranian user. I have nothing to do with the socks you say. You have evidence for this.--MADdi0X (talk) 16:43, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

@MADdi0X: “You are upset that some of them were yours.” Could you give me an example? Which item of those you RfD’ed was created by me or indeed is one of my “favorites“? --Emu (talk) 17:36, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

EmuI did not mean you. I gave myself an example that the things I tagged were not to your liking and you thought my work was wrong.--MADdi0X (talk) 18:07, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

@MADdi0X: A very warm welcome if you are from Iran. Making a RfD for the Muslim theologian Ḥusām al-Dīn Farfūr (Q106319930) designating the item as "spam" was strange (looked like vandalism) but hopefully a misunderstanding. --Kolja21 (talk) 17:02, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

PS: An item like Hamed Baradaran (Q38212996) (b. 1991), musician, might be "spam" (advertising) but if there are links to Wikipedia you need to delete the articles in Wikipedia first before requesting a deletion on Wikidata. --Kolja21 (talk) 17:13, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

Kolja21 Hamed Baradaran is a spam because this person is not famous in Iran at all. I am an Iranian. You can ask other Iranians about this.

I did not know that their Wikipedia should be deleted first, so I deleted this request.--MADdi0X (talk) 18:10, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

QS and maxlag=5

Hi see https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Contact_the_development_team#QS_restrictions_removed?. I tried finding the code for QS to see if it continues editing when x-retry-headers are returned. I could not find both the front- and backend code. Is the tool broken? I would appreciate if some of you could investigate whether QS honors the maxlag policy (it should always use maxlag=5 and honor the retry after headers and wait at least 5s according to https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Maxlag_parameter).--So9q (talk) 05:19, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

It would be reasonable to ask whether there are any indications that QS does not honour maxlag. Looking, as SCidude did, at the cumulative count of edits by all instances of QS use and concluding that is evidence of, in essence, a single instance of QS breaking the rules, is to fail entirely to understand what is going on. --Tagishsimon (talk) 08:45, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

--Silva Selva (talk) 05:10, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

These can be looked at from two perspectives, the need to block and the need to protect the pages. Only 1 of the IPs made an edit in 2021, and it was a month ago, so all are stale to block. The only page they edited in common is Q981513, which does not appear to need protection. @Silva Selva: in the future, before you report an IP for vandalism please check that the edits are recent (190.154.234.149 last edited in 2013) and that there is a need to block (if its just one or two that can be reverted, and the IP is not continuing, a warning is enough).

Semi-protection of Luis Lacalle Pou (Q6800406)

Changing IP reverting me and other user's edit. Frodar (talk) 19:50, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

This appears to be a content dispute over whether the Spanish description should be "presidente de Uruguay" or "42° Presidente de la República Oriental del Uruguay". Both descriptions appear to be accurate. The former is simpler, while the latter is more specific and atemporal. In general we like our descriptions to be simple, but we also prefer that descriptions be something that will remain true in the future.

As a content dispute, this is something you should sort out by discussion, not by edit warring. As administrators, we can respond to edit warring by protecting the page or by blocking edit warriors. We cannot semi-protect a page in order to privilege an established user against an IP user in a content dispute. I have therefore given the page one week of full protection to allow participants to work it out on the discussion page. Cheers, Bovlb (talk) 21:18, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Please create WikiciteZotero tag

I would appreciate it if someone could create tag "WikiciteZotero" (or similar) to be used by edits made by the WikiCite addon for Zotero which I'm currently developing.

The plugin uses wikibase-edit, so it is currently using the WikibaseJS-edit tag by default. Having a custom "WikiciteZotero" tag will help keep track of the changes made with this tool.

Edits currently include adding and removing "cites work" (P2860) statements, and may eventually include editing these statements, and creating new entities as well.

Right now the tool is using username and password to log users into Wikidata, but eventually it will use OAuth 2. See discussion here.

You can check the demo video in the latest release announcement to see how it works.

The tool doesn't have a specific page yet, but I guess the tag may link to the proposal page for the moment.

This request has been published earlier here.

Thank you!! --Diegodlh (talk) 00:53, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

@Diegodlh Hello, thanks for the request and the work you did! I think it might make sense to prioritize switching to OAuth instead of creating a tag for you at this point. Any OAuth consumer gets a tag automatically for all the edits the tools makes, so once you switch to OAuth (either 1 or 2, doesn't matter), you'll get what you want automagically. See tags starting with OAuth CID in Special:Tags for examples.

Does this make sense? Best, Martin Urbanec (talk) 14:25, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Dear @Martin, thank you for your reply. Whay you say does make sense, yes. The tool allows making anonymous edits. Can these anonymous edits be made through OAuth 2 so that the tag would be included? --Diegodlh (talk) 20:49, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Please delete double film editor Peter Brandt

Dear Admins,

I just created a WD object for the Danish film editor Peter Brandt (Q106533335), after I had searched diligently amongst the other ten-odd Peter Brandts whether he existed already. He did not appear in my search results. But after creating the new object, an error message pointed out Peter Brandt (Q39252908), so he does exist already. Please delete Q106533335 without leaving a relink, since it was only created moments ago. Thanks! --Sprachraum (talk) 00:54, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Q513

Can we unprotect this? It's featured on the main page and keeps getting expanded. Besides, it's being watched by many so the rare potentially problematic edits didn't remain unnoticed before. --- Jura 21:48, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

It appears that it was protected by a bot, apparently in line with the policy described at Wikidata:Protection_policy#Highly_used_item. Even if we unprotected it, wouldn't the bot just come along and re-protect it? Bovlb (talk) 00:22, 11 April 2021 (UTC) @Jura1 Bovlb (talk) 00:23, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

If it's manually unprotected, wouldn't this remain so? --- Jura 08:43, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
- It wouldn't, unless it's been added to User:MsynABot/rfc-protect-blacklist.json.
  But I do not think that we should exempt this item from the policy. We could find similar exemption reasons for plenty of other items which would render this entiry policy useless and difficult to manage. There are also quite some test edits and clear vandalism in the revision history of the item, probably because it is exposed on the main page. Whoever cannot edit this item should use Template:Edit request in my opinion. —MisterSynergy (talk) 09:01, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
  - We already exempt others.
    It's clear we have plenty of hardly edited (not really needing to be edited) items that aren't watched but frequently used .. for these the bot is most useful.
    I don't quite see the risk for this one. Obviously, Wikidata has some level of vandalism, but let's not forget that it's the free knowledge base with items that anyone can edit. --- Jura 13:54, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
    - The other exemptions are: sandbox items, tour items, badge items. They all have a really special role. —MisterSynergy (talk) 14:13, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
      - It looks like the item was semi-protected for a good chunk of 2020 (albeit intermittently) in response to excessive vandalism. [10] Unprotecting it could soon result in manual protetion again anyway. However in general, I think the rule can be relaxed against items where there is such consensus individually. The blacklist could be a bit more descriptive for that, like: {"special": ["Q4115189", "Q13406268", ...], "consensus": ["Q513", ...] }. whym (talk) 13:30, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Protect articles vandalized by cross-wiki and LTA

Hi, there is a user who frequently vandalizes en.wiki, fr.wiki, it.wiki and here with dynamic IP (some of his IPs have been blocked globally), who even created a user account User:Giorgio mec (which was also blocked globally) and now he does not stop vandalizing Q4015982 and Q55401011. A month ago Q144617 was blocked to prevent it from continuing to vandalize, although I ask that it be extended since there are three days left until it ends and the user remains the same. Thanks.--Carlitoscarlos (talk) 19:53, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

@Carlitoscarlos: In the light of the many IPs and the global blocks (CC @Martin Urbanec) I have put one month of semi-protection on Vodafone Italy (Q4015982), Carrefour Mobile (Q2530120), and ho-mobile (Q55401011). Having said that, I am a little concerned that this appears to have some of the hallmarks of a content dispute, in that I am unable to determine that the changes are clear vandalism and not a good-faith effort to improve Wikidata. Do you have any understanding of why they persist in making these very specific changes? I know it's hard with changing IPs, but have you made any attempt to engage this editor in discussion? Cheers, Bovlb (talk) 18:51, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

@Bovlb: Hello, regarding Carrefour Mobile (Q2530120) I just saw that the same IP that was vandalizing Vodafone Italy (Q4015982) and ho-mobile (Q55401011), and asked for the lock. Regarding what it does in Vodafone Italy (Q4015982), is to put the old name of the company on the label, it is quite easy to know which is the current name and the previous ones because there is a paragraph explaining it in it:Vodafone Italia and it has references (I have not participated in the edition of that article so that for my part there can be no edition war). This is also done by him in TIM San Marino (Q3982795) and TIM Brasil (Q2079243) (in the latter he is also dedicated to putting the old logo as if it were the current one, (you just have to go to the web to see which is the current logo)). What it does in ho-mobile (Q55401011) is to put the legal name or the other name by which the company is known (it does it without any criteria, depending on the language) instead of putting the common name by which the company is known on the label. I do not know why it makes these changes without any criteria, wasting my time and other users. All this started in it.wiki (where he is from and where I have not intervened in any of his editions) and he has been trying it in es.wiki (where I am from and from what I realized what he was doing) and on fr.wiki and wikidata (that checking if he was doing it on more sites besides es.wiki, I realized that he was doing it on these too). It has been like this for two months and I am quite tired because it also uses multiple dynamic IPs and an account was created to evade the blocks. Thanks and best regards.--Carlitoscarlos (talk) 08:05, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

@Bovlb: Hi, it has returned with the IP User:151.15.63.122, can you block it? Now he is also dedicated to changing https links to http. As you can see, its editions are not content disputes, it is simply vandalism, that is why I ask you to also extend the protection period of Q144617, because it ends tomorrow and it will vandalize it. Oh, and he left me this on my fr.wiki talk page. Thanks and best regards.--Carlitoscarlos (talk) 12:22, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Njzjzbot

To me it seems that all edits from Njzjzbot are (still) useless. New items with just a Chinese label, no links, no properties. And older items with one property: country (P17) telling it is China.

Vandalism with multiple accounts

Hi,

I didn't fully dig into the matter but I notice that multiple account (coordinated or by the same person) are doing the same kind of vandaslim, adding instance of (P31) = website (Q35127) (sometime web page (Q36774)) on human (Q5) and adding in qualifier different website, often ending in "lovers.com". Accounts I found so far:

I think I reverted most of these vandalisms but I maye have missed some. A few of their edit are correct, for instance adding interwikilink to Wikipedia in Spanish (qv. Special:Diff/1377966015, but maybe there is a creation vandalism on es.wp too).

Report concerning User:FogueraC

FogueraC (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • SUL (for IP: GUC)) — Reasons: The user has been editing the item Q5765 –Balearic Islands (Spain)– for days to modify the description in several languages of "autonomous community of Spain" by "western Mediterranean archipelago". The Balearic Islands is an autonomous community of Spain as California is a state of the United States. It can only be justified on ideological and political grounds. This nationalist terminology has no justification. Removing the description in Catalan and Portuguese, saying that Spanish is not a native language in the region, or that English and German are Balearic languages is totally out of place. Lopezsuarez (talk) 11:36, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

I have not done any new change, I have just restored the original version. I have asked you repeated times in the talk page the reason of the changes you made, but you have just answered with accusations against me and Catalan Wikipedia. Maybe you could explain your reasons here. --FogueraC (talk) 15:13, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

@Lopezsuarez, FogueraC: This appears to be a content dispute. Both editors have been edit-warring over the article for the last week. There has been some discussion on the talk page but, so far as I can make out, Lopezsuarez's contributions have been aggressive and ad hominem. I have given the article full protection for a week to encourage discussion. If you want third party input on a content dispute, then Wikidata:Project chat or Wikidata:WikiProject Spain would be a better venue. Both parties are admonished not to edit war, and warned that it may result in blocks in the future. Lopezsuarez is also warned to focus on the content and avoid personal attacks. Cheers, Bovlb (talk) 16:45, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, @Bovlb:. I'm sorry for the problems caused. But how can I avoid edit-warring when the other user does not have a constructive behavior? For example, now I have seen that, after doing this report, Lopezsuarez has done these two edits in an item I had just contributed: The first one is just wrong. And the second one is correct, but pointless (in fact, it was me who added her nationality to the corresponding property). It just seems a will of spreading the edit war to this new item. Which is the correct way to address situations like this? --FogueraC (talk) 17:33, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

@Bovlb: There has been no war on my part, the user insists on preserving political and nationalist terms, I have corrected them and he insists that they be maintained. Imagine that the item Sicily is described as "central Mediterranean island" instead of "region of Italy". This case is exactly the same. There is an ideological (nationalist) motivation on the part of the user, and this cannot be allowed. It detracts from Wikidata's credibility. Lopezsuarez (talk) 19:21, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

@FogueraC: Resolving content disputes can be hard, and they are for the community to resolve, not administrators. I don't have a magic solution, only two pieces of advice: Don't repeat things that didn't work and try to bring in other people.

@Lopezsuarez: Looking at the history of Balearic Islands (Q5765), I see that you have performed 7 simple reverts in the last week. This is what we call an edit war, and we strongly discourage editors from doing this. I don't believe we're dealing with a vandalism situation here, but rather a good faith content dispute. Please drop the ad hominen accusations and focus on the content. Bring in other people. Bovlb (talk) 19:35, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

@Bovlb: I am deeply sorry that, as an administrator, you are not able to act in this situation. I don't know how to explain that the current edition of the Balearic Islands is completely wrong. Someone should intervene. Lopezsuarez (talk) 19:47, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

@Lopezsuarez: I fully agree with Bovlb. If you think you need to revert some edit for more than one time, there might be an issue. What you and FogueraC have done is an edit war. Moreover, you speak here of "...insists on preserving political and nationalist terms...", which is not sticking to facts and does seem to rise conflict in stead of solving it. As far as I know both descriptions are correct and may even be merged to one. Lymantria (talk) 19:42, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Hola @Lymantria:. The Balearic Islands are a region of Spain, an autonomous community of Spain. Geographically they are also an archipelago located in the western Mediterranean, yes, but no one would refer to that region as "western Mediterranean archipelago" but rather "region of Spain". The only reason the islands are described as the "Western Mediterranean archipelago" is not to mention Spain. Nationalists try to avoid mentioning the country (sovereign state) where that region is. That is not an opinion, it is a reality, and we should correct it. Andalusia, Aragon or Castile-La Mancha are described as "autonomous communities of Spain", and that is how the Balearic Islands should be described, ignoring any type of political ideology. Lopezsuarez (talk) 19:58, 21 April 2021 (UTC) [Unfortunately I do not speak English and I automatically translate this text from Spanish to English. I hope I was able to express myself correctly]

I'm sorry, but your reaction does not reflect my experience (outside Spain). In most cases I hear the Balearic Islands described as an archipelago, hardly ever as an autonomous community. Dutch and German descriptions read (translated) "Spanish archipelago in the Mediterranean Sea". That could be a merge of the two descriptions you describe. But this is not the correct place for discussion. Lymantria (talk) 20:20, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

It looks like a discussion with at least some outside participation is now taking place on Wikidata:Project chat. In the event that a consensus emerges, no need to wait for me before lifting the protection. Bovlb (talk) 02:27, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure what do do about this user. They are a prolific contributor, but they consistently misuse properties (such as constellation (P59) and tracklist (P658), and they never respond to any feedback. Many of their contributions have been blanket-reverted as unsourced. I hesitate to block someone who appears well-intentioned and motivated, but the error rate is concerning in the context of their refusal to communicate or improve. Any suggestions? CC @LiberatorG, Jan Myšák, Nikkimaria. Bovlb (talk) 20:29, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

I guess a short block to try to get a reaction from them? I too am convinced of good faith but sadly it can't continue like this. --Jan Myšák (talk) 20:32, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

They have added thousands of unsourced statements for which it is unlikely that any source exists, such as sexual orientation, height, mass to 0.1 kg, religion, etc. on people for whom this kind of information is not normally publicly available. It seems very unlikely that these statements are accurate, and even if accurate the statements are not acceptable for Wikidata without any way to verify them. –LiberatorG (talk) 02:17, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. With regret, I have given them a 24-hour block with a note I hope will communicate the problems clearly (assuming they manage to find it). Please feel free to provide your own assistance to this user. I would be glad for any admin to lift this ban swiftly in the event of a satisfactory unblock request. Bovlb (talk) 20:55, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

After the 24-hour block, they resumed editing, making the same sorts of error. I then applied a 31-hour block, which recently expired and they are back to editing, although no obvious errors yet. It does not seem possible to get this user to respond to talk page messages. Bovlb (talk) 02:32, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Back to the same, so now a 3-day block, but I don't feel this is working. I see a few contributions on ENWP without apparent reversion but no talk-page interaction whatsoever. Any other ideas? Bovlb (talk) 22:28, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

And blocked for a week now. Thanks to @Nikkimaria for following up on many of the edits. Bovlb (talk) 03:01, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
