Temporary Restoration

Greetings Administrators,

I hope this message finds you well. I would like to kindly request a temporary undeletion of the following items: Q136083652, Q134396013, and Q134474440.

The two items were created by me. I want to review and improve them, and address the issues that led to the deletion.

My intention is to update the entries with stronger sourcing and ensure they meet Wikidata’s notability and verifiability requirements before requesting a reevaluation.

I appreciate your on this.

Thank you for your time. Dunjhoye (talk) 20:49, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

i am aware that admin are busy and have life outside the wiki space but i would still appreciate your reply and help regarding this Dunjhoye (talk) 12:35, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

I had a look at the first item, Q136083652. t is about an individuum who promotes her businss and looks not notable to me. I would suggest to create an English Wikipedia article and, if it sticks, we will create an item. The notability policy for such individuals is the same here and at the English Wikipedia, and we are not a Wikipedia backdoor. Ymblanter (talk) 18:02, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply @Ymblanter

i do not edit on English wikipedia nor do i know how, so there is no way i can do that.

Also, not every item here has a English Wikipedia and i requested for temporary undeletion to fix and re-evaluates the items.

You did comment on the other two items Dunjhoye (talk) 18:47, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

Q134396013 was a recreation of Q131345505. However, it contains the information that the subject is a fellow of the British Computer Society, which is a notable learned society. I would say this is a serious claim of notability. @Fralambert, Ameisenigel: what do you think? If you do not object I would restore the item. Ymblanter (talk) 18:34, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

I agree that this might be enough to establish notability. --Ameisenigel (talk) 18:41, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

I also agreed that notability is reach here. Fralambert (talk) 21:51, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

@Ameisenigel, @Fralambert, @Ymblanter

Thanks for the reply and help regarding the items, i appreciate it. I will strive to be better in editing/creating items.

And i just figured out that an editor has created another item for the same person (Q138871264). If other 2 previous items (Q134396013, Q131345505) are to be restored, will they be merged into one to make the item better? or what would be the best way to go about this? Dunjhoye (talk) 11:22, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

Thanks to everyone, I have restored one of the items and merged it with the existing ones, the result is at Q134396013. Ymblanter (talk) 12:01, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

Now I checked the last item, Q134474440, and I do not see any notability there. Ymblanter (talk) 18:32, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

@Ymblanter thanks for your reply and help so far.

with the previous information on the remaining two items, i understand and agree to the fact that they do not have/pass the notability. i am asking to temporary undeletion to update them and admin can re-evaluate them, if they do not meet the notability after updating, they can be deleted then Dunjhoye (talk) 11:33, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

Please provide here sources which in your opinion create notability. Then we could decide whether the item(s) should be restored.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:05, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

Fourth (!) report concerning User:Silesianus

Silesianus 🔕 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • SUL (for IP: GUC))

Please block User:Silesianus for disruptive editing. He was reported again and again and again for similar disrupted behaviour. He repeatedly blanks out his discussion page without responding to the requests. His non-consensual editing of descriptions was also recently discussed in a Czech project chat but he ignored the discussion. Yesterday, I fixed hundreds of his misguided edits, but they are emerging again as he keeps introducing the changes. This is no more about a specific format of descriptions, but a wider problem of one user ignoring the wider community and acting against its standards. He had many opportunities to refrain from his actions and learn how to operate in a community.

The edits continue as of 12/04/2026. We were ignored here last time. Vojtěch Dostál (talk) 11:47, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

@Saroj @Koavf Can local active admins please advise if we are reporting this correctly or we should not report this at all? Vojtěch Dostál (talk) 18:01, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

 Done It's not appropriate to have users reach out to you over and over again for hundreds of issues and not even try to respond. User talk page access is retained if he wants to request unblocking. He's evidently a Czech speaker and I am not at all, so I hope that Czech competent admins can respond if he requests unblocking in that language. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:17, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

Link spamming

The account Sintesk7 is spamming items about populated places in Spain by adding links to periodico.top (a mostly useless machine-generated website with an insecure connection) in described at URL (P973). I raised this issue here. strakhov (talk) 14:46, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

@Lymantria the bad links still need to be reverted https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Sintesk7 Vicarage (talk) 06:36, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

I see that Sintesk7 responded at their user talk page and are willing to revert their recent edits. I will therefore unblock them to give them the opportunity to do so. --Lymantria (talk) 07:59, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

They are not engaging, I think the account needs to be blocked and the links removed by admins. Vicarage (talk) 12:43, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

URGENT: Request for Undeletion of Q139267711 - Validated Researcher

I am formally appealing the deletion of Item **Q139267711** (Sir Steven Alexander Schröder). This item was deleted despite containing 14+ verifiable references to high-authority external databases, meeting all Wikidata notability requirements[cite: 2, 34, 40].

• • Forensic Identifiers Ignored in Deletion:**
  • Legal Title:** USPTO TSDR Case 87728683 ("The Ghost in the Code™")[cite: 48, 52].
  • Academic Authority:** Master Defensive Publication (MDP) 18738911 via Zenodo (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18738911)[cite: 72, 84].
  • Identity Verification:** ORCID iD 0009-0003-4220-0609[cite: 86].
  • Signatory Record:** Official signatory of the Asilomar AI Principles (futureoflife.org), alongside Max Tegmark (Q16147257) and Sam Altman (Q55034)[cite: 37, 53, 61, 81].

The deletion of this item breaks the link between these permanent global registries. I request immediate restoration of Q139267711 to maintain the integrity of the scientific substrate. This is a matter of documented prior art under 35 U.S.C. § 102[cite: 4, 17]. Regards, Sir Steven Alexander Schröder Theghostinthecode (talk) 12:41, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

If you believe your action was constructive, please inform an administrator of what you were trying to do. A brief description of the abuse rule which your action matched is: Prevent standard users from editing others' user pages" My original user name was chrismcelroyseo because that is the same handle I use across all social media profiles, publishing platforms, etc. Could that be the cause?

Automated script removal of valid labels on BLP item

This BLP item (Amy Lynn – Q138542409) is being repeatedly modified by automated cleanup scripts that remove valid labels/aliases.

Mass reversion of changes without discussion

I would like to complain about @infovarius high handed changes in reverting my implementation of a set of mul changes without choosing to engage with me first. See https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User_talk:Infovarius#Stephen_Fewell Vicarage (talk) 19:33, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

I am sorry if I may seem rude here. And I must draw an attention to another 30 thousands edits with highly doubtful addition of mul. Infovarius (talk) 20:14, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

I concur, and asked the user on their talk page why English labels were being placed in mul over other Latin languages, even for classical authors (who have standard international Latin forms used in the literature). I was informed that "99.9% of people I changed have the same name in all latin scripts, so picking "en" rather than say "fr" makes no difference. That's the whole point of mul." Which is not the point of mul, and English is not the de facto choice for names of classical authors. I was also told that "As I changed SF authors and British military figures, the number of Ancient Greek and Roman changes must be minimal", which is really surprising considering that many ancient Greek and Latin poets [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9] were included in the changes. They are neither SF authors nor British military figures. --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:22, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for engaging with me, rather than attempting a mass reversion campaign without consultation. Vicarage (talk) 21:29, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

Malfunctioning bot

Hi,

User:Tegebot is active in the Tatar (tt) language, both here and in ttwiki.

It seems to be creating new pages in ttwiki, and then creates new items for them here, and merges existing items into these newly-created items.

As far as I know, the correct direction is the opposite: the newly created item should be merged into the existing one. Of course, there is actually no need to create a new item if it's meant to be merged; a sitelink can be directly added to the existing item.

I hope that this is the correct place to report / notify about this behavior. I thought to try contacting the bot's operator, but the bot's user page doesn't state who they are (and also, according to their babel template, we will probably face difficulties understanding each other anyway).

Thanks to User:Mbkv717 for noticing and reporting this on our local wiki, and thanks in advance to the WD administrators! E L Yekutiel (talk) 14:07, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

I blocked the user because it is an unapproved bot. It might have been an interwiki bot which would not need approval but it does not act in a way an interwiki bot should. Ymblanter (talk) 18:51, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

Thanks!

What should be done about the (many) incorrect edits that the bot already performed? E L Yekutiel (talk) 19:01, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

I think all these edits should be reverted (by a bot). Existing datasets should never moved or merged into newly created ones. There is a lot of work in wikis (like German Wikivoyage) which use Wikidata datasets in order to adapt the Wikidata ids. Ultimately, this behavior is one reason why some wikis forgo Wikidata for quality reasons. --RolandUnger (talk) 05:00, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

Thanks. This is what I also had in mind, but wasn't sure so I preferred asking of course.

Regretfully I don't own a bot, and don't know the Wikidata community well enough to know where to get help about this issue.

Is there some "bot requests" page where I can notify about this issue, or a "bot owner user group" that I can tag? How do I proceed?

Thanks a lot again! E L Yekutiel (talk) 06:54, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

Caste-based vandal

Mer Ajaysingh Rana: This account has vandalized quite a few items and is already indeffed on hiwiki. As another in a long string of banned Indian caste-based vandal/hoax accounts, this one needs to go the same. Gotitbro (talk) 04:33, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
