Stop repeatedly force inadequate Commons links

You should NOT repeatedly force wrong or inadequate Commons links (like here or here). Commons links on Wikipedias may be inadequate here or just plain wrong. Please make it so that your bot doesn't repeat an edit it already did on the same entity, or that has been reverted. Wikidata can't depend on Wikipedias correctness or adequacy, nor forcing WD contributors to fix Wikipedias. Bots are good and very easy to program for one-time imports; as you can see continuous operation is another story as the bot must take care not to overwrite manual fixes, which your bot doesn't do, a shame. -- Bjung (talk) 21:58, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

The link on Category:Cities in Belgium (Q7287351) is correct so please don't remove it. Mind you that town/village/city/etc. have slightly different meanings in different languages. It's a one time run in several iterations. It's done for now. Multichill (talk) 22:16, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Bullshit. Link on Category:Cities in Belgium (Q7287351) is incorrect, the meaning of that item is very well defined in all languages (if "with special privileges" is not explicit enough, I don't know what is), as is the meaning of the Commons category "Cities and villages" (i.e. all places, whatever your language) whose >99% of items unfortunately are NOT towns with special privileges. So please stop reverting based on gross and wrong assumptions about items meaning and my own knowledge.

As for the one-time run, I suppose your stupid bot will force its mistakes again at the next iteration, like it did at the previous one? A history check for repeated edits is still in order then. Bots are not supposed to have the last word over human contributors who spend time fixing mistakes. -- Bjung (talk) 15:26, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Nice, you first add a wrong label and than trying to force that on it? Learn to be polite if you want a response. Multichill (talk) 22:25, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Nice, attacking others with a LIE: the label I added was perhaps not the precise terminology but at least there was one and it matched the associated "main topic" entity label; and I did NOT try to "force" it. If you want to be credible, stop lying and learn to bring pertinent arguments. There's no comparison to be done between ONE imprecise edit by me and all the uncorrected mistakes done repeatedly by your bot. Bots are stupid things that deserve to be monitored more closely. I don't necessarily expect a response; apparently, there's no way to get some bot programmers to become more careful with common, central data. -- Bjung (talk) 00:18, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Cool the tone, Bjung; maybe it's appropriate in your culture to swear at good faith contributors but it's not on this wiki.

If you feel a bot operator is not acting appropriately, you can seek aid at WD:AN after first attempting to resolve the perceived problem directly. --Izno (talk) 00:47, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi Multichill: I just fixed the railway problem we talked on IRC about; it was due to wrong coordinates. I fixed them on the Polish Wikipedia, too, and I think the problem will vanish on the next update of your map. odder (talk) 17:47, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
