== Account sharing between Riley Huntley and Gwickwire on English Wikipedia ==

Please see [[:en:Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Account sharing between Riley Huntley and Gwickwire|this thread]] on the English Wikipedia. I am informing you as Riley is an administrator on Wikidata. You may wish to discuss this and decide what course of action, if any, is appropriate.--[[User:Deskana|Deskana]] ([[User talk:Deskana|talk]]) 10:06, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
:Riley has since resigned as a sysop here. [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/?diff=prev&oldid=5444561] I believe this would be under a cloud (in other words, this would be "controversial" and he could not request sysop without running at RFP again.

:On a more personal level, Riley has overall a good record here and globally, and this incident, while quite inappropriate on both of the named editors' parts, does not affect my overall opinion of him that much. I hope Riley returns and will be happy to support him for admin in several months. --'''[[User:Rschen7754|Rs]][[User talk:Rschen7754|chen]][[Special:Contributions/Rschen7754|7754]]''' 10:11, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

::I feel like Rschen7754. Riley was a very important admin for Wikidata, a helpful SWMT member and, I believe so but I cannot judge that because I haven't worked with him on English Wikipedia, also a great Wikipedian. He was always a net positive and also a good friend to me. I really hope he'll come back soon.

:::I don't think that giving someone he trusts a temporary password to post a message for him is a terrible thing worthy of stripping all of his rights. Certainly not the best thing to have done there, but that's in the past. I can trust him to not make that mistake again, and would support any request to get the rights back, though I agree with Rschen that such a request should happen at RfP/A.

:::::::::For this wiki, the main issue was that Riley held sysop here, and Gwickwire did not. To be a bit candid, I trust Riley with holding sysop here, but I do not trust Gwickwire (yet). Secondly, as per the WMF, in order to view deleted content, editors must go through a RFA/RFA-like process. We still cannot prove that Gwickwire did not view deleted content, as this is not logged. Finally, we also have no way of verifying that Gwickwire does not still have access to Riley's account. --'''[[User:Rschen7754|Rs]][[User talk:Rschen7754|chen]][[Special:Contributions/Rschen7754|7754]]''' 18:49, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

== Sk!dbot ==

I would like to bring the administrators' attention to [//www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Sk!d&diff=prev&oldid=35959395 my message] to Sk!dbot today. Between 17:05 and 19:22 on May 5, the bot created several thousand entries for the articles of Hungarian Wikipedia. These articles did not have the traditional interwiki links, so Sk!dbot created a single entry for all of them without checking whether a suitable entry had already been created where these articles could have been linked to. This resulted in a great number of duplicates. To make things worst these duplicates can only be identified by manually and tediously checking the articles one by one, and, only by a native speaker of Hungarian language. Therefore - in addition to blocking Sk!dbot - I suggest to delete all these recent entries created by Sk!dbot, so that our editors can add the Wikidata links from scratch. I can see no other way of solving this chaos the bot has created. [[User:Csigabi|Csigabi]] ([[User talk:Csigabi|talk]]) 21:19, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

: Why should proprosals not be allowed to be translated? The pages are clearly marked as proposed policies, so neither readers nor translators should be fooled about what they reading respective translating. There was a RFC about [[Wikidata:Sock puppetry]]. If it is translated, users who don't speak English well will be able to better understand what is proposed. So I completely fail to see why the translation admins should be "causing trouble" by preparing and marking these pages translation. [[User:Byrial|Byrial]] ([[User talk:Byrial|talk]]) 16:55, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
:: It's simple. If a single suggestion is made, there often occur major changes. Thus, marking such a page for translation would de facto invalidate all previous work. If you think, translations of a proposal are really needed, you should not use the extension, anyway. It just causes loads of work for admins and translators and there is very low benefit. That's the reason why only stable revisions should be translated via the extension.

::: I think that the translation admins do consider the stableness of a page before marking it for translation. I generally wait some days after a change to see if there is follow-up changes.
:::* [[Wikidata:Sock puppetry]] was last edited for content at March 25 and not since. It was first marked for translation at April 7.
:::* [[Wikidata:Alternate accounts]] was last edited for content at April 7 (with some very minor changes at April 8) and not since. It was also marked for translation at April 7 and 8 (by the last contributor).
::: So there isn't a lot of changes here causing high work loads on the translators. Besides the translators can see that is a proposal when they start translating these pages, and is able to judge if they will risk to translate something that maybe does only last for a short time, and what the benefit might be. Why should we deny them to decide for themselves, if they think it is a good way to use their time or not? So in my opinion it is not as simple as you say. It is basically about who are best fit to decide how the translators use their time. I say that it is the translators, especially because it is their time we are talking about.

== Why are there no Hungarian-speaking admins ==

Just out of curiosity (and sorry to wander off-topic): why doesn't Wikidata have any Hungarian-speaking admins? Huwiki is not only a thriving medium-sized Wikimedia project, it was also the first one to integrate Wikidata. Yet when the Hungarian Wikipedia community has a language-dependent issue related to Wikidata, a translator needs to be brought in just to explain to the admins what the problem is. Has no-one from among the Hungarian wikipedians volunteered? And if that's the case, are we making an effort to reach out to them for a qualified candidate? [[User:Malatinszky|Malatinszky]] ([[User talk:Malatinszky|talk]]) 05:22, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

:As far as I know, nobody has been denied Permission to be sysop, only because (s)he speak hungarian. I do not think it is enough to only be Hungarian to be a good sysop. Try to find somebody who has been here some time, and who know how things work, and you think can be a good sysop. In the Swedish part of Wikidata, a no/da-speaking sysop is "close enough", but there is no language who is "close enough" for the hungarian community, I'm afraid. -- [[User:Lavallen|Lavallen]] ([[Special:Block/Lavallen|block]]) 06:48, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
:: [[User:Bináris]] was an admin but did not pass reconfirmation. By all means, if any Hungarian speaker has experience with Wikidata (say several hundred edits), is reasonably active here and wants to be sysop, they absolutely should run an RfA.--[[User:Ymblanter|Ymblanter]] ([[User talk:Ymblanter|talk]]) 09:07, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

I believe [[User:Csigabi]] would be a strong candidate. I notice by looking at his talk page that he's been recruited; here's hoping that he's interested in the job. [[User:Malatinszky|Malatinszky]] ([[User talk:Malatinszky|talk]]) 12:35, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

I appreciate your constructive attitude to my faux naive question above. I'm not claiming an anti-Hungarian bias, but I do feel that it would be important for every reasonably large Wikimedia project (say, 100k articles and above) to be represented on Wikidata by an admin speaking the language of that project (as well as English). I think this is an important enough goal that we should not be satisfied by declaring that there is no anti-XXX bias, but we should actively reach out to unrepresented Wikipedia communities, and encourage them to identify suitable candidates.

I am increasingly uncomfortable discussing this issue here, where it is arguably off-topic. If you think the problem merits discussion and can suggest a more suitable place to talk about it, I'll be happy to move the conversation there. --[[User:Malatinszky|Malatinszky]] ([[User talk:Malatinszky|talk]]) 12:46, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Any ideas of how to archive bulk requests? [[Wikidata:Requests for deletions/Archive/2013/Bulk Requests]] has exceeded template include size, and [[Wikidata:Requests for deletions/Bulk]] and [[Wikidata:Requests for deletions/Bulk/2]] are full, so I placed the next requests at [[Wikidata:Requests for deletions/Bulk/3]] and [[Wikidata:Requests for deletions/Bulk/4]]. [[User:Byrial|Byrial]] ([[User talk:Byrial|talk]]) 07:10, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
: I think we can archive them manually to the same archive as regular deletion requests. However what I would like to stress is that we need a better communication for bulk requests. For example, if I come and see a batch of 15 of which 12 are deleted and three are not, and otherwise there is no sign of activity, I would obviously check the remaining three. Please, if you have done it and the batch is done, mark it as done. This would save some users from unnecessary work duplication and also would make it easier to archive. Another this is that it might be good to have the list of all active bulk deletion pages somewhere (on the top of regular RfD?).

This page was recently deleted [[Q11755853]] for not being "notable". I had around 15 items linked to it: [[Wikidata:Stratigraphy_task_force/Supergroups]]. I'm assuming good faith and that the editor did not know that "supergroups" are an essential part of the stratigraphic nomenclature. I am a little annoyed that the page was deleted without notice although task force pages were directly linking to the item. I don't know where the deletion policy is written up, but that should be just commons sense or bullet point 1 on that policy. --[[User:Tobias1984|Tobias1984]] ([[User talk:Tobias1984|talk]]) 12:15, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

== [[WD:News]] ==

Hi

I duplicated Subj ([[Wikidata:News/temp]]), modified it for the new translation system and created subpages for translating it to all languages. Now I'd like you to move my page to the old one so that from now on the news will be synchronized in all languages (now some of the main pages show 'news' as old as December {{-)}}).

Because many of the target pages already exist, the moving needs the sysop flag. Also, I think that for the sake of history preservation, the deleted edits of the existing pages need to be restored. 

Thanks in advance, [[User:Michgrig|Michgrig]] ([[User talk:Michgrig|talk]]) 15:22, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

This is the IP address used by [[mw:Wikimedia Labs|Wikimedia Labs]], and it can be rather disruptive for RecentChanges when one of the bots that uses it gets logged out. (Obviously autoblock would be disabled and account creation would be enabled.) The way I see it, if we block it, the worst-case scenario is we lose one of our bots for a few minutes/hours/days (which we're more than used to by now); if we ''don't'' block it, then someday if a bot got logged out when no one was watching RecentChanges, we could wake up to find a few thousand unpatrolled edits, burying any edits in that period that need reverting.''' —&nbsp;[[User:PinkAmpersand|<u><font color="000">PinkAmpers</font></u>]]'''[[User talk:PinkAmpersand|'''<u><font color="FF1493">&#38;</font></u>'''<font color="000"><sup>(<u>''Je vous invite à me parler''</u>)</sup></font>]] 15:09, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
