== Suspicious posts by user AnthonyM698 ==

Hello.  Can we kick a user out of wikidata?  I don't like the postings I see from user AnthonyM698.  At best they are unnecessary, misleading, wrong and confusing.  I suspect though that there is a hidden vandalism agenda.  Who would change the label of the metal band Anthrax (Q109871) to Antrax?  Right, nobody in their sane mind, but this user did.  Insane.

: {{user|AnthonyM698}}
::Thank you Ajraddatz.  You are right that the contributions look mainly correct.  Some of AnthonyM698's changes that I find concerning because the expressions added do not belong to the item:
::https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q3870&diff=prev&oldid=1093855361
::https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q6663522&diff=prev&oldid=1062951431
::but that is not an attempt to vandalize anything.  In fact, I see this user having fixed some vandalisms, for example:
::https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q37230&diff=prev&oldid=1114566356
::I overreacted and this user appears to be ok.  I apologize.

: Thanks for bringing this to our attention.  I agree with OP that the change to {{Q| Q109871}} is inexplicable, but also with Ajraddatz that most of this user's other edits seem to be correct.  In such a case, it's usually best to raise it with the user directly and ask what they were thinking.  I see [[User talk:AnthonyM698|their user talk page]] only contains a welcome message, and no complaints or warnings.
: Also, a quick tip: I notice that it took you four edits to restore the Anthrax page.  If you look at [https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q109871&action=history the revision history of Anthrax], and use the two columns of radio buttons to bracket a group of changes, then you can get [https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q109871&type=revision&diff=1113530047&oldid=1096522940 a diff comprising multiple consecutive edits].  If you click on "undo" here, then you can revert a sequence of edits in one edit.

::Thank you Bovlb.  I will contact AnthonyM698 about the change to metal band Anthrax (Q109871)
::That is a GREAT quick tip.  I did not know this, and will use it hence forth!

:::Good morning everyone, sorry for the bad edit of the Anthrax band. I must have been tired or overfocused on another research project. I think at that point I thought that someone confused the band and the bacteria. Thanks for having corrected it, and please accept my apologies.
:::: Regarding the aforementioned links and edits: I thought It would be interesting to add Kenya's capital city and its different variations to further disambiguate Nairobi. As for the Lob bomb, the items added as synonyms are the latest iterations of this improvised weapon (also mentioned on its wikipedia page, History section, 5th paragraph https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lob_bomb). {{user|AnthonyM698}}
::::: Hi AnthonyM698.  The problem is that those expressions belong into a different item.  The expressions you added for Lob bomb are instances or subcategories of Lob bomb so should be moved.

** Well, we do already handle this entire thing considerately on an individual case-by-case basis.

(It does not matter to me that I as an admin can view the offending edit myself to see what might possibly motivate the revdel, or that you've explained your reasoning regarding such revdels to me before, or that the admins may be expected to somehow infer the same reason every time you do this; there is a difference between abbreviating a reason--which at least provides some transparency to the outside observer regarding the underlying cause--and omitting it entirely--which, absent other extraordinary circumstances, is unconscionable.)

****{{ping|Koavf}} Thus, thanks for removing it. However, there's no harm in leaving it visible in the history. One can easily see ''why'' the edit was removed, and it does not appear to be blatantly dangerous (such as extreme pornography). By your argument, all spam should be revision deleted. That is overkill and isn't conducive to transparency and accountability of admins. What if I reverted and hid all your comments under the guise of spam and all the other admins did the same?

== Vele 123 ==

Since joining Wikidata a few days ago the user {{user|Vele 123}} has been vandalizing Macedonia related items by removing the interwiki links to articles in Greek and Bulgarian. It's quite clear that each nation (and its corresponding Wikipedia) has its own historical bias especially on such sensitive subjects but removing the appropriate links to other Wikimedia projects is downright vandalism. After being warned several times by me and other users he just kept on engaging in a revert war. Please take corrective measures. Thanks. --[[User:ShockD|ShockD]] ([[User talk:ShockD|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 10:30, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

:and thus should be removed from Macedonian Language (Q9296) and Macedonians (Ethnic Group) (Q2436423). They are in contravention with the notions of Language (wrongly referred to as a Norm in the first article)  and Ethnic Group (wrongly referred to as NorthMacedonian in the other) which is the basis for being linked in the first place and thus should be removed or otherwise moved to a different Category or disambiguated. Only then could they be assigned to another  interlanguage link. As proposed to ShockD maybe the example of this category could serve in the resolution of this dispute:   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Linguistic_controversies. or introduce a Category:Contested Ethnic Groups.  
:
:I wish to urge to bg wiki editors to refrain language interlinking bg wiki Categories and Portals containing fabricated facts such as NorthMacedonians (Ethnic Group)(Северномакедонци) or Македонска литературна норма (referring to the Macedonian Language). Consensus exists that the Macedonian is a language. There is no consensus that North Macedonians (Ethnic Group) are an ethnic group. Subjective views of bg wiki editors should be considered as acts of vandalism towards the rest of the community, since they fail to substantiate their claims with credible references and fail to enjoy the consensus of the rest of the community about these 2 issues. 
:Please restore my credentials or otherwise propose other remedy or refer us to Dispute Resolution on these 2 issues.

{{ping|Csarendt}} Welcome to Wikidata!  I'm sorry if your first experience here has left you feeling frustrated and discouraged.  As Quakewoody noted above, the right place to dispute a request for deletion is in that discussion but unfortunately you have left it too late and the item has now been deleted.  This page is now the correct place to request undeletion but, before you do that, I recommend you come up with an explanation of why your item meets our [[WD:Notability|notability criteria]].  Specifically, I think you need to show that this subject {{tq|can be described using serious and publicly available references}}.

== "Section resolved" on Wikidata:Administrators'_noticeboard ==

Hey everybody, I am a seriously annoyed by the plenty of {{tl|section resolved}} edits that particularly non-admins make on this page. Can we please be a little more careful with this procedure, please? I have difficulties to follow current cases when they are removed too quickly from this noticeboard. Clearly not everything which might seem resolved is actually resolved.

Does anyone feel the same, or different? Should we change something regarding use of {{tl|section resolved}} on this noticeboard? —[[User:MisterSynergy|MisterSynergy]] ([[User talk:MisterSynergy|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 18:01, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

:As a side note, I'd mention a minor technical issue. Apparently it's meant that upon the archiving the template doesn't go there as such, but is replaced with a shorter note: "This section was archived on a request by: ...". It always works with my own signature, and with many others too, but not with all of them (see [[WD:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive/2020/03|the current archive]] for instance). I'm not sure whether the cause is in template itself, or in the signatures, or in the way that archiving is done. Anyway, it would be nice if this flaw is fixed. — [[user:Mike Novikoff|Mike Novikoff]] 16:20, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

:: Newspaper is clearly linked to the falun gong, as us congress reported [https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/eoir/legacy/2013/06/13/China and Falun Gong.pdf].

Hi all, I have been [https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sp%C3%A9cial:Contributions/Nibbler869 contributing to french Wikipedia] for several years on various topics. However, I still discover new stuff, especially in Wikipedia side projects. So thanks to [[user:Popolon|Popolon]] who offers me the opportunity to dig deeper in Wikidata.

{{ping|Jasper Deng}} I always talk with people who openly contribute to Wikipedia, even if we disagree. On the Falun Gong topic, I created a neutral page discussion following a neutrality dispute. There is a consensus about Falun Gong from scholars who actually study it, as I explained in that discussion page. The consensus is that declaring Falun Gong is a cult is part of the persecution strategy of the Chinese Communist Party.
See for instance:
* this quote from {{cite book |author=David Ownby|date=2010 |title=Falun Gong and the Future of China |quote=The entire issue of the supposed cultic nature of Falun Gong was a red herring from the beginning, cleverly exploited by the Chinese state to blunt the appeal of Falun Gong and the effectiveness of the group’s activities outside of China.}}
* and this quote from {{cite book |author=Ian Johnson|date=2005|title=Wild Grass: three portraits of change in modern China|quote=One of the government's most brilliant moves in its persecution of Falun Gong was declaring the group a cult. That put Falun Gong on the defensive, forcing it to prove its innocence, and cloaked the government's crackdown with the legitimacy of the West's anticult movement.}}
So modifying the wikidata description of Epoch Times to "journal de la secte d'origine chinoise Falun Gong" is at least POV pushing. And, as this change was not visible on the laptop version of the Wikipedia page, I considered it was sneaky vandalism ("Any vandalism that is not immediately obvious, such as subtly changing links or statements.") when I discovered it. This is why I reverted it and did not discuss with [[user:Popolon|Popolon]]. The description on the [[User:Popolon|user page]] strengthened my analysis ("Popolon est un contributeur de wikipedia non-neutre, qui fait tout ce qu'il peu pour l'être et tente de remplir ce qu'il peut.").

:{{ping|Nibbler869}}, You can't say you discover because of me as you participated to it for years now, and on this unique subject of falun gong... This a really a movement, with a leader, [[:en:Li Hongzhi|Li Hongzhi]], and as said just previously there are strong relationship between falun gong members and Epoch Times, avoiding to show this relationship is probably a strategy of the secte movement, as editors are also sect members [https://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/eoir/legacy/2013/06/13/China and Falun Gong.pdf] and [https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB108190438992282143]. They are at least very actives for years in touristic places to try to gain new members, in [[:en:Jardins du Trocadéro|Trocadéro]] near Effel Tower in Paris and in most touristic place in Taïwan, with strong and aggressive evangelistic stance, as [[:en:Jehovah's Witnesses|Jehovah's Witnesses]] and some other American evangelist sects. They are also know to use [[:en:Shen Yun]] ballet to try to get new members and hide them in their billboard [[:en:Shen_Yun#Billing_and_promotion]], this is not really fair one more time. I'm not a Chinese citizen (not from China nor Taiwan), I'm French from French family for lot of generations, and don't look at the China's government stance, but only describe the sect stance independently. That's sad to see a movement only existing because it has an enemy… When I say on my page I'm not neutral, it's only a [[:en:Cynicism (philosophy)|cynical]] point of view to recognize that, has every human or living form, I can't be 100% neutral, even if I try as most as possible when I edit Wikipedia.

== LTA on items related to China politics ==

Previous discussion: [[Wikidata:Administrators'_noticeboard/Archive/2019/10#Persistent_vandalism_on_China_politics-related_items]].

This LTA using IP addresses located in Hunan, China has been actively vandalizing items related to China (or Greater China) politics since last year. In Oct 2019, we (editors from zhwp) noticed this user and reported it here. Since then, "the level of vandalism in this period is likely lower than it might have been because of short-term blocking of some IPs, and protection on many of the articles". But this tendency does not last long. During the last several months, this LTA makes disrupting edits, sometimes with fairly insulting words in edit summary, every a few days. The LTA does not seem to be possible to cease without further actions. I think it is the time to reconsider that the necessarity of long-term block of IP ranges used by the user.--[[User:虹易|虹易]] ([[User talk:虹易|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 12:28, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

* I made a couple of short-term blocks, and did some reversions.
: [[User:Bovlb/china]] Here is an updated set of /16s I have been monitoring on and off.  Not all are equally busy, but they all seem to have the property of being used solely for this type of POV-pushing description vandalism.
: While I agree broadly with what 虹易 is saying, I do not necessarily attribute these edits to a single underlying person. [[User:Bovlb|Bovlb]] ([[User talk:Bovlb|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 23:52, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
:: As I indicated in the last thread, I am open to placing a long-term block on some or all of these /16s, but it is a fairly drastic step, and I hesitate to pull the trigger without some show of support from the (admin) community.

::: If this can not be solved by an edit filter, then, yes, probably we need to go for a range block.--[[User:Ymblanter|Ymblanter]] ([[User talk:Ymblanter|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 19:28, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
:::: {{ping|Ymblanter}} I'm not sure whether an edit filter would be a good solution. The problem changes are primarily changing Chinese (but also sometimes English) descriptions (but also sometimes aliases).  An edit filter that looks for additions or modifications of Chinese descriptions would catch most of them.  We could also make this filter operate only for IP users, or conceivably even for these specific /16 blocks (if I can work out how to do that).  One reason we have to be careful of wide IP blocks is that it causes chaos when blocked users rename pages (and hence attempt to change sitelinks) on other projects.  Would the prevention of Chinese description changes by IP users be an acceptable compromise?  Some level of throttling like one per day (to at least prevent the edit warring)?
