Sin senos sí hay paraíso (Q24032555) and more

What happens is that 2 users (Suik 2000 and HernánDávalos13) have come gruelingly to deleted this parameters: original network and country of origin on the pages mentioned in the header, per unnecessary. --77.65.13.26 20:13, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Edoardo88: you have worked on this item, and the above-mentioned users appear to have removed at least one referenced statement that you added, can you comment? ArthurPSmith (talk) 20:30, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
1. I told to 77.65.13.26 that these parameters are irrelevant. The info is in the infobox here in case of spanish wiki, but the user insists on placing them. 2. Edorado88 also insists on place the number of episodes to emit (but this need to add when program ends, not before). It should be clear that I am not accusing anyone. HernánDávalos13 (talk) 21:13, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@HernánDávalos13: You seem to be seriously misunderstanding the purpose of Wikidata. Correct information should never be deleted from here, wikidata provides information to *all* language wikipedias, as well as to thousands of other users who don't see this data through a wikipedia at all, so it is totally irrelevant what any one language wikipedia chooses to do with their infoboxes. If the data in wikidata is displaying incorrectly in a particular infobox, then the people managing that infobox need to fix the problem, you cannot fix the problem by editing things in wikidata (unless that data is in fact wrong). ArthurPSmith (talk) 14:02, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
And now Leoncastro is removing the same pieces of data. Can somebody check to see if this is a sockpuppet operation, or is there massive confusion over in eswiki about this somehow? ArthurPSmith (talk) 13:13, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. Sorry for my bad english. I received a message in eswiki from HernánDávalos13 to review the changes in this entry. I did a neutral review (even I am not interested in this topic). I did a cleanup of the false parameters and put real data with their respective sources. I have not deleted any data with real references. I am a trusted user of eswiki, I am not a sockpuppet of anyone nor do I have any sockpuppet. My only accounts are Leoncastro and my bot Semibot. Regards. -- Leoncastro (talk) 14:03, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Leoncastro: I apologize, I took a quick glance and it looked like you were removing the same things, but I was wrong. Thank you for helping to clear this up! ArthurPSmith (talk) 14:10, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
My changes were:
  1. Added es:aliases «Sin tetas sí hay paraíso», as this is used in Colombia.
  2. Changed “instance of” from «television program» to «television series», because first one caused conflicts with some identifiers.
  3. Changed “genre”, because «television series» is not a valid one, adding «telenarconovela» and «romantic fiction» with external sources.
  4. Added external sources to “original language of work”, “start time”, “production company” and “original network”.
  5. Changed “country of origin” from «Colombia» (country of the original network) and «United States of America» (country of the production company) to only «Colombia» (country of the recording location of the television serie) with an external source.
I hope that this may be enough explanation. -- Leoncastro (talk) 14:21, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
More than sufficient, thanks! If you get a chance, do you think you could look through some of the other recent changes by Suik 2000 mentioned above, it sounds like there might have been some revert warring going on with the IP address that posted this. ArthurPSmith (talk) 14:28, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I think there are no «unnecessary» data in a database. There are true and false information. Maybe Suik 2000 are deleting the data because are false. I do not know, there are hundreds of editions to review there, and I have no time to do it. Perhaps Suik 2000 can justify his editions here. -- Leoncastro (talk) 15:07, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To the sysop that resolves this report, please read this exposition reflected in my discussion, and also this report in Suik 2000's talk page. Still waiting for Suik's justifications. -- Leoncastro (talk) 03:00, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thank you very much for convening me, forgive my bad English too, if I finish writing them until very late because I finish putting together the courage to speak, I usually, usually, eliminate the parameters of << original station >> , << country of origin >>, and << number of episodes >>. Then they like the reasons according to the previous ones.

  • 1. Original Network: Mainly eliminated this statement because apart from what in WP in Spanish we work with logos of the broadcasters, we work locally in part mainly the correct data, I also justify because we have put incorrect data in the WD from the beginning of 2017 with the user Cameliacarmona81 (disco.contr.), with which there was simultaneous vandalism with WP in Spanish, the manual message to the user until arriving at the confusion with the founder of Wikipedia. There is also another case in which one of the WD of the TV Azteca telenovela articles has been placed in this statement "XHDF-TDT" instead of "Azteca Trece" as in this example. As you can see, "XHDF-TDT" is the main station of the "Azteca Trece" (now Azteca Uno) in Mexico City, but not the original network.
  • 2. Country of origin: I feel that in this statement I have no justification, because as it is evident it is a necessary affirmation to present, and if I have eliminated an apology.
  • 3. Number of episodes: In this justification, because he deleted them in some series and telenovelas in current broadcast, such as "Hijas de la luna", "Mi familia perfecta", "Educando a Nina (Mexico)", among others. And if he deleted things they are no longer in the same broadcast.

I have never harmed anyone and those are my intentions, but the one that I think also intends to investigate further the user 77.65.13.26, Since he researched out of curiosity where the user edits, investigate your IP in "WhatIsMyIPAddress.com" and I get that edited from Poland, and you see edited from less than a month WD's of "Colombian articles" and it may be a blocked Colombian user that uses a VPN, it's not that I want to take revenge because That is not my true intention, but also his knowledge also in WP in Spanish since "May 8, 2018" as in these other examples: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usuario_discusi%C3%B3n:186.31.228.194], [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. How is it that an anonymous user can have the advanced knowledge of a self-confirmed and reversible user, if the knowledge acquired over time and registered in Wikimedia Commons?. Me gustaria que esto se resolviera en español. --Suik 2000 (talk) 05:39, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Suik 2000, estoy seguro que los administradores de Wikidata sabrán entender si prefieres usar el español, pues al menos diez de ellos tienen conocimientos del idioma.
Sobre tu respuesta, indicarte que 1) no es excusa que en eswiki se usen los campos localmente con imagen para borrar un dato común de wikidata que beneficia al resto de wikis; 2) tú mismo indicas que no tienes justificación, por lo que ruego que detengas ese modo de actuar y que revises los casos que ya hiciste; y 3) si tienes sospechas fundamentadas de que el usuario anónimo está evadiendo algún bloqueo, presenta los argumentos necesarios en una denuncia independiente, pero no es aquí el lugar adecuado para lanzar esas acusaciones. Sobre el tema editorial, espero que no sigas borrando datos sin justificación (ni en eswiki ni en wikidata), y que hagas caso de la explicación en eswiki de Fantasma del Espacio, quien se ha brindado a enseñarte para que participes de modo colaborativo. -- Leoncastro (talk) 14:30, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protect Q704022 (Gustavo Petro)

The page has seen a lot of vandalism lately as Petro is in the running for President of Colombia. He just finished second place yesterday and will be in the upcoming run-off. The page is semi-protected on the Spanish Wikipedia, but the infobox incorporates Wikidata, and the vandalism here has made its way there where it's harder to identify and rectify. -- irn (talk) 15:27, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Trolls adding Arabic to French

Please note a new vandalistic trend, I have seen three different "new" accounts, all in the past few hours, who have replaced the links for French with Arabic script on 1) "Facebook" 2) "Internet" 3) "Sport".

The accounts who did this are: 1) User:Mazouni oum elaz 2) User:SARRAHAM 3) User:Chahrazed Ait

I reverted the last two myself.

Thanks for looking into this. Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 00:21, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@علاء: Any thoughts? Should I undo the blocks in this case? Mahir256 (talk) 06:03, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Mahir256:, ummm they have no edits on ar.wiki, all of edits on fr.wiki. As I see, that we can consider them as good-faith contributions, because, for example, user:SARRAHAM create a redirect from fr:الانترنت to ar:إنترنت then change the label on Wikidata. So, please undo the block and only warn them, any further vandalism after the warning then we can block them, also I hope if CU in frwiki can check them as they have the same pattern of edits.

And in two months, not one message was left on the IP's talk page? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:48, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Pigsonthewing: While I have no issue with that in practice, I am not sure whether leaving a message on the talk page of a /64 IPv6 subnet (corresponding roughly to a single LAN) renders it visible to all addresses on that subnet, which is especially important since IPv6 addresses within a given subnet are pretty volatile. For example, I see four different IP addresses in the subnet used over two days, meaning if I had left a message on one IP's talk page, there's a close to zero probability that the person wouldn't see it since the person would be using another IP in the subnet.

Linking Pages and Changing Title

Hello,

I have translated this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WolfSSL . I need to link it with https://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Usuario:Arilo91/Taller&oldid=108293784 . I read and read but I cannot do it. I am trying to link both pages, but there is an error. Also I want to change the title of the page for the second link, and it is just showing my user name.

Can you help me please? I have a deadline to meet, so I greatly appreciate your help!

Thank you so much in advance for the help!  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Arilo91 (talk • contribs).

@Arilo91: it is not possible to link page from the main namespace (this is the case with your example on en.wiki) and from user namespace (your case on es.wiki). So you need to move your es.wiki page into the main namespace on es.wiki. To do that, I think you must ask to a sysop on es.wiki; Wikidata cannot do anything for you for now.

Malfunctioning bot

Please block PositionStatements_Bot. Seems to be operated by another person than the one who got approval and neither seems to respond.
--- Jura 13:54, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to have stopped.
--- Jura 14:12, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I responded within 15 minutes of Jura sending his message to me. Though I disagree with the assertions about the statements being inserted, and see this is little more than yet another attempt by Jura to disrupt our project, I have also stopped the import pending further discussion. --Oravrattas (talk) 14:15, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Given that the bot isn't operated anymore by the person who sought approval for it, I think it should be blocked until a new request is made, reviewed and approved.
    --- Jura 14:27, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Since this is bot business, I think this should be discussed with the crats at Wikidata:Bureaucrats' noticeboard. I personally don’t see a problem with this situation, as long as all current maintainers are listed on the bot's user page. —MisterSynergy (talk) 14:37, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • The bot's talk page redirected to some other operators talk page. If one needs to comment on four places to get it to stop, it doesn't seem helpful. It's not clear if tool is suitable for what the operator is currently doing and they don't exactly seem to be open to discussions.
        --- Jura 14:52, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        • @Jura1: please stop claiming that we're not open to discussions, when it seems to be merely that you disagree with the answers you get. The bot is functioning exactly as intended: you seem to simply dislike what it is adding, even though it is the accepted model across multiple projects. Instead, you keep trying to impose a political data model that is insufficient, with some vague claim that it is how things are done elsewhere, even when it is pointed out by repeatedly by numerous people and numerous projects' pages that you are incorrect. You have previously caused a lot of damage by attempting to merge lots of existing P39 statements for people into one, even though they all say quite different things: damage which you then pointedly did not assist in fixing, even when you eventually reluctantly agreed to the model. You are now, again, trying to prevent me from improving the political data in another country. If there is an issue about who gets listed as a maintainer and/or operator of this bot (which are slightly different things as this is a QuickStatements-like bot, which gets run by multiple people), then we're happy to discuss that in whatever forum that should happen. If you want to reopen the questions around modelling legislative memberships again, then we're also happy to do so, though it would help if you could actually bring some new insight or arguments rather than just reiterating your previous position. But please don't claim that anyone doesn't "seem to be open to discussions" when the discussions are clearly going on, and have also happened already multiple times before, and please don't claim that the bot is somehow malfunctioning or unsuitable just because someone is using it to add data with an otherwise widely-accepted model that you disagree with. --Oravrattas (talk) 15:24, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        • As mentioned before, I note your disagreement with Wikidata's current approach. Please use Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot.
          --- Jura 15:34, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
          • You can keep repeating that all you like, but you have been told repeatedly, by multiple people, and with evidence across multiple projects, that this is the preferred modelling approach. But rather than engaging with that, you simply keep falling back on your demonstrably untrue statements about it being other people who aren't open to discussions (rather than just not open to your preferences), or making other unfounded claims. Your preferred approach may be different, but that doesn't mean that everyone needs to do things your way, or that you can block attempts to add things using the accepted model, or revert all the changes you disagree with. Please stop. --Oravrattas (talk) 15:52, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Block 87.41.92.0/24 again, and at least 86.42.179.183

Hello,
In April 2018, people using the Irish IP range 87.41.92.0/24 have deleted a lot of sitelinks. After the discussion Wikidata:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive/2018/04#Block of IP 87.41.92.141, Mahir256 has blocked this IP range for one week on 22 April 2018, and then for one month on 30 April 2018. But I have noticed that:

  • on 31 May 87.41.92.140 (in the same Irish IP range) has deleted site links
  • on 2 June 86.42.179.183 (in another Irish IP range) has deleted site links.

So I think that 87.41.92.0/24 should be blocked again, and at least 86.42.179.183.
For information, I send a ping to MovieFex (who has canceled edits from 87.41.92.0/24) and a ping to InMontreal (who has canceled edits from 87.41.92.140).
