Report concerning JMagalhães

[edit]

A user has been exhibiting disruptive editing behaviour, focusing on removing aliases and modifying genders. Here are some examples:

We can also see they are removing terms without including them on the alias in several other moments:

This behaviour is problematic for the following reasons:

  • Information Loss: Removing aliases hinders the searchability of entities with different names.
  • Disruption: Edit warring disrupts the collaborative editing process by repeatedly undoing other editors' work.

The core concern is removing information and edits warring, not just modifications. These actions violate established practices and confuse users relying on accurate and consistent information.

 Comment The fact that this account has been persistently pushing for controversial and/or blatantly wrong changes through edit warring, and then complains in this noticeboard posing as the victim is absolutely puzzling. The first half of the links are simply controversial changes being undone. That's it. Stop POV-pushing through edit wars and get consensus for the changes. The second half... I'm just clueless about whatever this editor is trying to prove or claim.

Beyond that, I would like to point out to administrators the systematic disruptive use of edit summaries by this account. Among its last 500 edits, 83 summaries are used to engage in personal attacks to users who simply undid one of his controversial changes or made some sort of edit he didn't like, systematically calling them "vandals" and "trolls". And this is not the first time this user opens blatantly nonsense incident reports. For example, last year he opened an absolutely bizarre and nonsense claim against me claiming, with no proof whatsoever, that I was "doing vandalism driven by sexism". Being an administrator myself for 10 years, I've dealt with many bizarre things, but this is hard to beat. I'm considering open a T&S case against this user because his claims are so outlandish and out of touch with reality that I'm afraid there's underlying issues that should be handled privately. JMagalhães (talk) 18:10, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that you attacked me, not defending your actions, says loudly about you. Also, it is not only me that you attack and enter into edit wars. It is not me who is removing information from Wikidata.
It is a clear no-posture when discussing his actions.
Moreover, this "his claims are so outlandish and out of touch with reality" should be enough for a long block. Attacks that no one should receive. Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton (talk) 22:02, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment It has already been explained to this user that when his controversial edits are undone, he should not be pov-pushing through edit wars and should instead engage in consensus building. Yet, not only he keeps pushing unwanted edits and massively using summaries for personal attacks. But, in a bizarre move, he pretends to be some sort of victim and opens incidents reports with completely made-up stuff and claims that are beyond outlandish. Honestly, an administrator intervention would be nice to help this person return to reality. JMagalhães (talk) 10:00, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Again, another attack in front of all admins, and nothing is done. Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton (talk) 20:56, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing they have said here appears particularly like an attack, particularly given you have dragged them before this noticeboard. What I see, reviewing items like Wikimedia Commons (Q565), is you making a change, and someone else reverting. You should stop edit warring to re-add your content in and discuss on the talk page. See w:Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle - make a change, it gets reverted, then you discuss. You are being more disruptive here than the other user. Please step back and discuss, preferably on the relevant items' talk pages. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 13:18, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ajraddatz:, first thing, do never remove a comment from another volunteer.
Second thing, "Nothing they have said here appears particularly like an attack." I will call you delusional and see how long it will take to be blocked.
Moreover, after years, since 2019 of him removing again, r e m o v i n g content, not only from my edits but from a wide variety of content, you say to me that I am the one wrong, enter in the provided links to make a comment at least.
And this is not wikipedia, a Wikipedia rule, especially from a single language, can never be used here.
Of course, I am "disruptive here." No one is taking care of that, and I and other volunteers have had to deal with this for years, so I am done. Do something, enter, and see that they are removing information from Wikidata and that no one is taking action.
You are more worried about "+2 days of impunity" than a person removing content from Wikidata; this is very problematic. Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton (talk) 19:16, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism user blocking request

[edit]

Hello @Do2112 The user named persistently Q160077 This page is committing vandalism. The page must be protected and the user must be blocked. Wikipedia is also committing vandalism. Selamiben (talk) 18:49, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This edit-warring is happening at the Turkish Wikipedia, and the issue must be solved there. Ymblanter (talk) 18:56, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Ymblanter It will be blocked there anyway, the user constantly changes his name here, either a temporary block should be given or the page should be temporarily protected, at least it cannot be vandalized. Selamiben (talk) 19:05, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What looks like the name changing here is in fact page moves on the Turkish Wikipedia. Ymblanter (talk) 19:11, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes @Ymblanter Selamiben (talk) 19:13, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Filters go wrong

[edit]

I create some pages in Italian Wikipedia and i want to link it in wikidata, but any changes I make are blocked as "spam". I want to add Britannica link but say block-spam, i want to add name and description in Italian but prevent blocking by spam. This is crazy. Please fix, because is an abuse to block prevention of good contribution. 109.114.27.56 08:49, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey anyone answer? It's very serious, there's a false positive from the anti-spam filter that's gone crazy and no one is doing anything? I want to put Britannica Encyclopaedia in the external links of an entry and it gives me "spam". See the message "Could not save due to an error. The save has failed. Your action has triggered the Abuse Filter This action has been automatically identified as harmful, and therefore disallowed. If you believe your action was constructive, please inform an administrator of what you were trying to do. A brief description of the abuse rule which your action matched is: Spam". What abuse with Britannica link or add Wikipedia page link or description on incipit? Please correct urgently. 109.114.2.212 06:58, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have just temporarily suspended the filter. --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 07:28, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please give me permission. Thank you.

[edit]

I create some pages in Spanish Wikipedia and I want to link it in wikidata, but I can't seem to add or remove badges on Wikibooks unless an administrator gives me permission. That's why I ask you to please give me permission. Thank you. Kenneth Adrián Jiménez Granados (talk) 14:51, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kenneth Adrián Jiménez Granados, you must have the confirmed flag to be able to add/remove badges. You must request this right here. Regards --Wüstenspringmaus talk 06:11, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Or perhaps they could merely edit constructively until they gain the "autoconfirmed" flag??? Isn't this the normal means of granting permission? This user account is less than a month old, but already editing on multiple wikis; should be able to gain autoconfirmed status without any trouble, and then automatically gain rights to add badges. Elizium23 (talk) 07:02, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We frequently grant confirmed status to users in good standing in other projects who are just starting to contribute to Wikidata, so Wüstenspringmaus correctly provided the link for such requests. I would agree that in this particular case it is better to have a more established track record of contributions, though. –FlyingAce✈hello 23:51, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
