This page uses the Structured Discussions extension of MediaWiki (SD, formerly known as “Flow”). I think that we really need something like this instead of the classical discussion approach, but I am also aware of the fact that not everything works smoothly yet in SD.

If you struggle to use this discussion page perfectly, do not worry and just leave a messy or broken comment for me. You do not need to figure out how to write a perfectly formatted comment with lots of trial-and-error edits. I am hopefully going to figure out what is on, otherwise I am going to ask you. Thanks!

Btw. SD comments do not need to be signed, since the software manages all contributions and puts user names and timestamps above them. Experienced users might also like the wikitext mode of SD, to be actived in the lower right corner of the input field.

Would you also be able to restore Q102355500? I also believe this meets WD:N criteria 2, having played professional football per this, this and this. Again I'll improve the item with sources.

Could you please check the bot status, DeltaBot didn't update Wikidata:Property_proposal/Overview since 25 May 2024.

That closing bracket was the issue: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Wikidata:Property_proposal/Generic&diff=prev&oldid=2166162354

As it is already fixed, the bot was able to complete today's run successfully. Such a bad link should not crash the bot, but I have little to no time to catch these exceptions in the source right now.

Hello, I noticed you had deleted Q114643589 as not being notable. However, I believe the subject does meet WD:N criteria 2, having played professional football per this and this. Any chance the item could be restored to allow for improvement? Thanks, S.A. Julio (talk) 05:46, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

It's restored. Please add the external links to the item page, as it is currently completely unsourced.

hey, lately I've working on a project for work that is trying to map historical figures that were honored with an ornamental grave. For the people that did not have a wikidata page, i made one with the intention of adding more information later on. However I've noticed they were all removed January 21st. For example Q123759716, how should I proceed?

Adapt your workflow.

I have reviewed some of the deleted items; they have all been created between December 11…13, 2023, with only an English label and description and nothing else. In this condition, they do not comply with the inclusion policy at Wikidata:Notability and qualify for immediate deletion.

Special:Contributions/Sablina Vis lists plenty of further items in a similar condition, but not (yet) deleted. Please bring them into an acceptable condition with regards to the notability policy, and I will undelete all the others as well.

Ah so that was the issue, thank you for explaining! I'll go fix the rest of them.

Thanks! When you are ready, please drop a note here and we will continue with the others.

Hello,

It took a bit longer than planned but I have fixed the list of historical figures that remained. I've added that they are human, their sex and other properties I have obtained from historical researchers here at 'Cultural Heritage Agency' (the Netherlands). How should I proceed?

Kind regards,

Sablina

On first glance it already looks much better than initially. Some data items such as Q123759786 could require more information, but most are okay and I'd be willing to undelete some of the deleted ones.

In total, there are still almost 200 deleted data items that you have created, and you have meanwhile fixed around 50. Shall I restore 50 more for the moment in order to fix those in chunks? You seem to be editing largely manually via the web UI, thus leveraging the power of automation is apparently not a thing to consider yet.

Thank you, 50 more would be fine, and it is correct that I'm not automating it as I was still figuring it out if what I was doing was sufficient. I might try automation for the next 50.

I will add more information eventually to Q123759786 (Helene de Montmorency wife of count of Bokhoven), such as who her husband was, but it might take me a bit of time.

You can find the first 50 restored items here: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=&subtype=restore&tagfilter=&type=delete&user=MisterSynergy&wpFormIdentifier=logeventslist&wpdate=2024-05-16&day=16&month=5&year=2024&offset=&limit=50

Once you have improved them, we can continue with the next chunk and see whether we should make it larger ;-)

Sorry to disturb, but could you please unprotect his page and or add my en.wikiquote addition there...

Sure, like so ?

Hi @MisterSynergy, you have deleted this page due to the notability policy in 2022-04-27T10:43:30

The NT Emergency Service is an official branch of the Australian Northern Territory Police, Fire and Emergency Services. link https://pfes.nt.gov.au/emergency-service

Would you mind giving it a look? Thanks.

Restored. Please add independent references for this one as well.

Hi @MisterSynergy, you have deleted this page due to the notability policy in 2023-08-07T20:39:14

That is an oficial government entity, link https://www.ense-epe.pt meets the acceptance criteria no.2 of the notability policy.

Would you mind giving a look at it again? Thanks.

Restored. Please add independent sources as well.

@MsynBot has been edit warring with @Github-wiki-bot on several software items that only have one version (e.g. Ordia (Q63379419)). Github-wiki-bot sets the latest version to have preferred rank (I think that some Wikipedia infoboxes that get data from Wikidata only display preferred-rank versions), but MsynBot then goes and changes it to normal rank if it was the only version. On RSSOwl (Q389413) I added another version so that they would stop fighting, but some software has only one version. Perhaps MsynBot and Github-wiki-bot can come to some kind of truce?

@Konstin: I think this should be fixed in your bot. There is no need for preferrred rank if no claims with normal rank are present, and users are often confused if this is set up incorrectly.

For background, the source code for my bot can be read here, and this task was approved in Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot/MsynBot 13. It is a generic bot that operates on all of Wikidata, and there are no topical exceptions implemented to it.

Fixed in https://github.com/konstin/github-wikidata-bot/commit/8a37d95ba4ab9fce02ff0a0a7e12f38299dc96fb

Thanks, great!

Thanks, Konstin!

Hi MisterSynergy, you deleted Q18284542 as empty. This item and the others were not empty at all, see the history. You should always check the history before doing deletions like this.

Thanks, seen.

I am usually looking for current and former sitelinks and what the current status of them is, in order to figure out whether this was an incomplete merger. In this case, a sitelink had never been attached to the item.

Bonjour, la page Q12949467 a été supprimé en la fusionnant vers Q112578102 alors que le contenu n'est pas le même (la page supprimée était une liste et l'autre une pour les catégories), pourriez-vous la recréer. Merci d'avance.

I have restored Q12949467 to the original list item form. Thanks for the notice.
