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]
+ 2 days of impunity Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton (talk) 00:00, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
+ 3 days of impunity Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton (talk) 04:56, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you continue your pattern of disruptive editing here, you will be blocked. Figure out a way to stop edit warring and discuss on the talk page, and cut out the uncivil messages here - final warning. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 03:42, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ajraddatz:
"discuss on the talk page"
Did you not notice that JMagalhães is not open to dialogue on his talk page?
And a final warning for a volunteer: try to solve years of issues and nothing to the real problem. It is totally unbalanced; the problem is to bother the sysops; if they do not bother a sysop, they can do whatever they want.
Very concerning how sysops deal with problems. The others are in total silence. Nothing is happening.
"uncivil messages here"
What are the uncivil messages?? List they.

Second opinion re: revoking Soufiyouns's email access

[edit]

Hello! I just received an email from user:Soufiyouns asking me to undo a block (user:باسم was the blocking admin). I revoked their email access for the duration of the block, explained that email unblock requests were inappropriate, and pointed them towards the unblock template via a talk page message. Was that the correct course of action? The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 13:58, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I received the same email. --Crystal Yragui, University of Washington Libraries (talk) 17:38, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't have necessarily removed their ability to send emails, but correct to direct them to the unblock template as the preferred method of appeals I think. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 18:25, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I also received this e-mail, for the record. Ymblanter (talk) 19:22, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are a few aspects that concern me here. @باسم has been actively editing but hasn't weighed in here, as the original blocker. @Soufiyouns appears to have sent email to at least one editor who's not an administrator, and can't, therefore, unblock anyone. Soufiyouns hasn't responded on their User talk page, either, despite retaining access to write there. @The Squirrel Conspiracy has received no support for the action in question, but hasn't modified the block to restore email access to this user. I suppose it's a moot point, as the block expires in a few hours, but in principle, I see no reason that email access should've been revoked. While it's "preferred" to request unblocks out in the open, it's not mandatory anywhere that I've seen, and Wikidata has no policy about this, so hopefully, admins can WD:AGF here. Because it seems to me that, before and during this block, Soufiyouns has been making use of the User talk page to calmly and rationally discuss the issues with the blocking admin.

Protection request per persistent vandalism

[edit]

From some time ago, several IPs are vandalizing an amount of entries about royals, changing deliberately the labels and descriptions in English and some other languages (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) without obtaining any consensus for doing that, and removing deliberately statements (6, 7 or 8), and other major modifications. This is not the first time they do this class of long-term editions. See User talk:Epìdosis/Archive/2024#Protection requests per vandalism for a similar previous case (@Epìdosis, @Hjart).

I restored the entries to their stable versions, but it is known that some of those IPs come back for restore their versions (more information at the previous discussion at Epìdosis talk page). For that, please consider protect all this entries and restoring them to stable versions if the IPs change them again before protection is applied. FYI, the entries affected are listed above:

Some of "good faith edits" lead to very bad results: particularly this edit [22], which went into infoboxes in many Wikipedia language editions, has eventually stated that bread was invented in Australia about 30,000 years ago (despite of lack of definitive evidence for it). No thanks, this is "almost disruptive" (IMHO). 2A00:1370:8186:125E:356B:CE70:F19D:24A8 16:21, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is a problematic case. Several his edits are not wrong but they can be called as "reduction to nonsense", e.g. Special:Diff/2204411587. If the user doesn't feel that his edits are nonsense, then it is probably best (for Wikidata) to block him.--Estopedist1 (talk) 06:19, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Editors violating OR policy and ignoring discussion at Q6495391

[edit]

There are several editors who appear to be both gatekeeping me from removing incorrect linking to Q6495391 and ignoring attempts at discission.

People are effectively engaging in original research, which is clearly a violation of policy.

People need to step in and either acknowledge the problem, actively collaborate or stop refusing me to edit aspects of historiography that I have solid evidence of Wikimedia managing to fib by ignoring sources. Peter Isotalo (talk) 18:21, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

the item is fully-protected for one month due to edit-warring by established users. There is also pending deletion request. Estopedist1 (talk) 06:16, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why on earth would you protect the item with the problematic content intact? The item is clearly violating basic policy by making demonstrably, easily verifiable errors.
Most of the items are either not using the same terminology "late modern" or aren't even referring to the same timespan (20th century until now rather than c. 1800 until now). Not a single established user has lifted a finger to actually help solve the conflict or even tried to reply to the factual issues involved.
The behavior here is ungenerous and in my view clearly obstructive. People are not taking the issue seriously and appear to favor simply grandfathering unsourced claims rather than allow for perfectly normal corrections, as is the normal standard for all Wikimedia projects.

Re: Report concerning User:161.0.63.21 / RSR2003

Anonymous editor 161.0.63.21 persists in edit warring on Cuscatlán Department (Q1130677), including the removal of a sourced statement on 16 July 2024, with the same claim having been removed by the same editor on 8 July 2024 and 19 April 2023. -- DCflyer* (talk) 20:57, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've checked CA of RSR2003 and noticed that this was also abusing multiple accounts on Wikidata with edit-warring and removal statements, see their CU-results. So I support blocking this user / the IP (regardless of whether it is the same person as the user). --Wüstenspringmaus talk 06:33, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
