Bot creates items nobody can find again

Hallo,

Several times I looked for items about a hydrographic basin and found nothing. I created the item (e.g.: Q66309135) ans as I went to fill the data I discovered that Q65159779 has been created without any information the wikidata search maschine can find.

The consecuence is that it must be merged.

I wrote to @GZWDer: who drives the bot and see that the problem is not new.

Other case: Q65161648 (8 July 2019‎ no information that the searchmaschine can find) =>Q61744057 (7 August 2019‎)

Other case: Q65160393 ... Q66309249

Can you please help to find a solution. Thanks. --Juan Villalobos (talk) 18:36, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

Solution to what? Too much information to find the problem. --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 07:32, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
OK. I have to improve the search string to avoid English or Spanish substantives or adjetives and using only the proper names like " Elqui ". That brings "Cuenca del río Elqui" and/or "Elqui Basin".
Resolved. Thanks to User @GZWDer: for his work. --Juan Villalobos (talk) 11:13, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Please grant the flag for the LargeDatasetBot

There's now a consensus at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_permissions/Bot/LargeDatasetBot, can you grant the flag? ChristianKl11:24, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

Approval for Q23679 bot

There does not seem to be any objections to Wikidata:Requests_for_permissions/Bot/Q23679, could the Bot be added to the Bot group? Thanks! U+1F360 (talk) 18:46, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
