Summary by Nikki

I've cleaned this up myself, since you didn't bother.

You seem to have added a lot of incorrect labels for years, for example on 2161 (Q28871921) you've used "2161" for every language, even though many languages use different digits and/or do not write years as simply a number (you should have been aware of this already if you had looked at the labels of existing year items, 2010 (Q1995) for example). Can you please either fix or remove them?

It is a bad idea to blindly copy the same label to every single language. We deliberately do not use some language codes (e.g. some of the labels you added were removed again in Special:Diff/462523516) and assuming that all languages write something the same way is almost certainly going to be incorrect for some languages out there. I would strongly recommend not adding labels for languages you don't speak without first asking someone who does speak the language - you're not improving the data if what you're adding is wrong.

Ok then. I will keep it short, just to English, Spanish, and languages of that sort.

Pus, I have stopped doing this for 2 months, becuase someone else informed me I was wrong.

It's good that you've stopped doing it, but you still haven't fixed or removed the incorrect labels, so this topic isn't resolved yet. Can you please fix them?

Hi, If you are to add the Chinese for year, there needs to be the word 年 attached. without the word, the number is purely a number.
