Request for a flood flag : NFPA 704 data migration

As there is no answer for my bot request I have prepared most of this data on my own and I'm ready to use QuickStatements for this (I thought it will be harder so I requested a bot action for this but it wasn't so hard to prepare this data for migration). Current batch includes 1042 items in which there will be 8 edits per item (9 in six cases in which there are two references) (check this diff for an example; but in current batch there is no NFPA Special (P877)) = 8342 edits. Rationale: property proposal and Wikiproject discussion. I think it will take about a few hours(?) to do this using QS so I'm requesting this flag for a day.

I don't know whether I should ask for a flood flag at all with 8k edits to make (for me it is annoying when I see other users using QS without a flood flag, because my watchlist is nonreadable then), so if a flood flag is not needed in this situation, please let me know and I'll do this migration without a flood flag.

I granted you a flood flag for one week. After you finished the job you can remove it yourself. Lymantria (talk) 20:41, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you, all is done so I removed the flag from my account. Wostr (talk) 00:22, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Account creator rights

Hi, per a suggestion by Artix Krieger, I'd like to look into whether I can get account creator rights for new Wikidata accounts. I'm running a Wikidata hackathon on Wed 16 May (1-3pm GMT) and likely to run a whole bunch more so it would be useful if multiple new users attending these events could create accounts simply and easily (and I help them if not) so that they can be shown how to make manual edits and mass edits to Wikidata. Any advice gratefully received. Cheers.Stinglehammer (talk) 16:26, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

My apologies, I am travelling and I have only seen this now. If you are planning more events, I can add the flag.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:05, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
