CorranHorn7 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • SUL (for IP: GUC))

Salve a tutti, l'utente CorranHorn7 noto vandalo infinitato nella it.wiki sta continuando a fare modifiche errate su wikidata. I suoi edit riguardano pagine dedicate al wrestling e la sua attività principale è modificare le pagine degli show WWE aggiungendo nuove puntate prima che vadano in onda. Inoltre ha eliminato dalla pagina "WWE Raw" uno degli atleti senza motivo. Mr. Durning (talk) 15:56, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

This user continued his disruptive edits on Wikidata after being blocked on itwiki for the same behaviour, which is cross-wiki abuse and unacceptable. We should therefore consider blocking or warning them. Pinging our itwiki experts Horcrux, Epìdosis and Sannita: What do you think? Wüstenspringmaus _talk 07:19, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

The write-only behavior is unacceptable. I'd propose a six months block limited to items WWE SmackDown (Q35622), WWE Raw (Q18754), WWE NXT (Q35903), WWE Main Event (Q35718) and WWE NXT Level Up (Q110977099). --Horcrux (talk) 10:20, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Agree with @Horcrux. A topic ban should suffice. Sannita - not just another it.wiki sysop 18:21, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Perfetto @Horcrux: e @Sannita:--Mr. Durning (talk) 18:51, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello @TenWhile6:, is it possible to satisfy this request? Mr. Durning (talk) 17:00, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

I am not an administrator here, sorry. TenWhile6 17:02, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

@Estopedist1 is it possible to satisfy this request? Mr. Durning (talk) 19:18, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

 Blocked indef: already indef in itwiki. If he will continue sockpuppetry at above-mentioned WWE items, then items to be protected Estopedist1 (talk) 21:12, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Unable to create for "Bare Bitcoin"

"Bare Bitcoin" is a Norwegian bitcoin exchange service, registered with the Norwegian financial authorities. I'm unable to register the Wikidata entry due to an automated spam filter. Torkelrogstad (talk) 16:16, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

@Torkelrogstad: first of all, are you sure "Bare Bitcoin" meets WD:Notability? Estopedist1 (talk) 09:18, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Report concerning User:Butko

Butko (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • SUL (for IP: GUC)) At least two instances of adding Russian propaganda websites as links in some entities.
[1] adds Tsargrad TV. Tsargrad TV is banned in Russian wiki, which the editor, being frequent contributor there, is well aware of.
[2] low quality website, yet informing us on "criminal actions of the Ukrainian authorities".
yet again [3]

私は普段、日本語版Wikipediaで活動しており、Wikidataのことがわからないので、間違った場所に依頼していたらすみません。この利用者の編集は無根拠・間違い・差別的などの問題があり、保護されていない項目は私が修正しましたが、次の2つの項目は保護されており、修正ができませんでした。

• woman (Q467): Difference between revisions
• trans woman (Q1052281): Difference between revisions

この利用者は日本語版で無期限ブロックされていますが（Wikipedia:投稿ブロック依頼/Ninijyo）、日本語版Wikipediaで指摘された問題行動を、Wikidataで引き続き行っています。Wikidataでもブロックした方がいいと思います。--呉野 (talk) 13:05, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

Report concerning User:Xezbeth

Xezbeth (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • SUL (for IP: GUC)) — Reasons: This guy kept adding non-exist articles invalid cross-language redirect-links. He caused Vandalism Seeing his behavior Special:Diff/2272805756, Special:Diff/2272805730, Special:Diff/2272805707. He kept adding a lot of redirect-links in cross-language pages. I had made a warning in his talk page a couple days ago already, but he didn't listening to me, then repeat the same Vandalism. You also can see his talk page, the warning i have made. Please Block him. ―Znppo (talk) 07:17, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

This is convenient, if an admin could reinstate the valid redirect links instead of me then maybe Znppo will take the hint this time. —Xezbeth (talk) 07:41, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

If keep adding a lot of invalid redirect-links in cross-language pages, then Please block Xezbeth and tell him a lesson not doing this Vandalism again. If this is not Vandalism ,then i swear i won't waste my valuable time reporting Xezbeth here.--Znppo (talk) 08:25, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

In some cases, sitelinks to redirects are allowed. See Wikidata:Sitelinks to redirects. @Znppo, what makes you say the links are invalid? All the examples that you gave seem to be valid use cases per this policy.  —Andrei^talk 13:33, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

The Japanese redirect-links Xezbeth added were all linked to novel manga publishers. Those Japanese anime manga articles haven't been created by anyone yet. Most of the time, we should create those articles one by one first, then add the links to Wikidata.
However, Xezbeth just added those redirect-links. Do they qualify as valid redirect-links? This kind of behavior is very weird. When I clicked on those redirect-links, I found that they led me to Japanese novel manga publishers. This is a very strange situation.
I think those Japanese redirect-links he added caused a lot of confusion for web viewers. Adding those redirect-links should not be allowed in Wikidata until the articles are established. I believe his actions constitute vandalism.

Administrators, please determine whether this is vandalism. If it is, please block the user Xezbeth. If adding these redirect-links is considered normal in Wikidata, please help properly add these redirects linking to the Japanese novel manga publishers.--Znppo (talk) 19:17, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

On Wikidata, this is valid per the policy to which I linked. According to it, if a Wikipedia project has a redirect from the title of a work to the article about the author or publisher, then that redirect can be added to the item about the work, with the "redirect" badge. If ja.wp has a different policy that overrides and/or enhances this policy, please cite it; what we think is weird is not grounds for blocking.  —Andrei^talk 07:26, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Since redirect-links are accepted in Wikidata, I have reverted all the edits I made earlier. it means I re-added those redirect-links to the novel manga publishers. I apologize if I caused any confusion.--Znppo (talk) 11:30, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

I think that this discussion is resolved and can be archived. If you disagree, don't hesitate to replace this template with your comment.  —Andrei^talk 07:54, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Report concerning User:Kambaiyu75

Item/lexeme creations and statements added by this user for the most part are nonsense. E.g. their last item Afan (Q131279322) has two statements that don't add up, and there's no other information based on which the item could be cleared up. In their lexemes like Nkhang (L1378339) all statements individually are nonsense. Hard to say if they deliberately enter nonsense or if they just have no understanding of what they are doing. Probably all their items/lexemes should be deleted and user should be blocked. 2001:7D0:81F8:9A80:EC43:3A7B:4AED:5ED7 09:28, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

@Kambaiyu75 please explain what you are doing? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:18, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

I have partially blocked the user from the main namespace as a precaution. I will wait a little longer for an explanation before deleting those items/lexemes — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:43, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Unless we get a response soon, I'm inclined to delete all of the lexemes as nonsense. Their items make a little more sense, but fail to establish notability. Bovlb (talk) 00:36, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
