Ineligible people voting

Can a bureaucrat move the vote by Vermont at Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Administrator/ZI Jony? From my count, only 90 of their edits seem not to come from scripts and games.

There is also another user I already moved. A few others seem to pass our limit without contributing much either. --- Jura 17:56, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

I don't see a problem with making a note next to the vote, but I am uncomfortable with a non-bureaucrat striking votes and moving comments like that. --Rschen7754 18:03, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

• I think there is an issue in this Rfp that needs to be addressed. Can you make the note then/strike the vote? --- Jura 18:08, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Correct place to report admin abuse?

Hello. Is this the correct venue to report the abuse of admin privileges? TheSmartOne2019 (talk) 06:17, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

No. If you have concerns about administrator behavior, please open a discussion at Wikidata:Administrators' noticeboard first. In this particular case, you are clearly edit warring, and since you started the back and forth, the onus is on you to begin discussion. With that said: @Bencemac: Please don't protect a disputed page while involved in the dispute yourself.--Jasper Deng (talk) 06:23, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Ah, Jasper Deng! The person famous for misusing the term "edit warring". Fancy seeing you here. Is this the place from which you've learned this term? Must be. Just so you know, I did start a discussion. Bencemac came there and called me a liar. He is refusing to discuss the subject matter. But alright. I'll take this to the place you just said. TheSmartOne2019 (talk) 06:32, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

@TheSmartOne2019: I forgot to mention that Bencemac is not without fault here, and I've warned him that I would start a request to remove his admin access if he doesn't understand why his actions here were improper, and/or does this again.--Jasper Deng (talk) 06:35, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Flood flag request

Hi. Can I please request a flood flag for a few days? I'd like to go through and remove mistaken badges (eg around 150 pages on enwiki marked as "not proofread", "problematic", "proofread", or "validated"). Since this can't be done with quick statements, and there is no way to manually mark an edit as minor (that I am aware of), this would help patrollers filter recent changes to better spot problematic edits. I have read through Wikidata:Flooders and understand the rules - I believe that removing a badge that is incorrect falls under this category of "non-controversial edits". Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 18:21, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

 Done, I gave you a flag for a week (which is in my reading longer than "a few days"), once you are done pls remove it. If you need an extension pls let us know.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:26, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks so much (posting from alt account so that bot flag doesn't apply) --DannyS712 test (talk) 20:34, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

@Ymblanter: thanks, I'm  Done with it and have removed the flag --DannyS712 (talk) 21:48, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
