Is Wikidata a reliable source for Wikipedia?

Per this edit added by user:Prakashs27.

User:Prakashs27 has also been adding birth, death, battle dates, and coronation dates using questionable sources, when they actually use sources. They have also used this source.

They added a date for the battle of Guadalete, ignoring an entire paragraph that discusses the possible dates of battle. AND, taking the date they decided upon(19 July 711), changed the date of death for Roderic, with no references.

User:Prakashs27 has warnings on their talk page for their editing from 6 different editors. --Kansas Bear (talk) 02:37, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Almost forgot! User:Prakashs27 also changed the date of the battle of Tarain using Cynthia Talbot (2015). The Last Hindu Emperor: Prithviraj and the Indian Past, 1200–2000, p. 47, except that Talbot makes no mention of any date for the battle. to which I removed the date and the misrepresentation of the Talbot source. In response user:Prakashs27 used Wikidata for a source(as mentioned above). --Kansas Bear (talk) 03:11, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Yevgeny Prigozhin (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

hey there - i don't intend to make any edits, but i was wondering if the page Yevgeny Prigozhin is still intended to be indefinitely extended confirmed protected. it was protected by you in february of 2023 due to an edit war going on at the time, and is still protected. is this intentionally left as extended confirmed or is it around the right time to remove those restrictions? 198.187.154.2 (talk) 05:04, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See the 3RR case where I applied the protection. This has also been logged in WP:General sanctions/Russo-Ukrainian War#2023. Per the wording of WP:GS/RUSUKR nobody who is not extended confirmed can edit articles which fall in this topic area. So this page is unlikely to be free of ECP any time soon. (Prigozhin, though he is deceased, remains clearly associated with the Ukraine war, so the Ukraine sanctions still apply). You are still free to propose changes on the article talk page.

ooh, gotcha! yeah, i don't intend to edit the page but i've been curious about learning these wikipedia policies - thank you! 198.187.154.2 (talk) 01:59, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ed; hope you are doing well.

The userpage of Lumbarschen, who was identified as a sockpuppet in WP:SPI/Arbe21 21 § 30 August 2024, remains to be tagged per WP:SOCKTAG. A clerk will probably notice it before the case is archived, but I thought of letting you know.

I would also like to ask whether the rest of the accounts mentioned in the comment section of the aforementioned case – Henrikurti and Randomuser2412 – were checked for "possible" links? They are reported in a different case (see WP:SPI/NormalguyfromUK § 20 August 2024), but the evidence in relation to Arbe21 21, is compelling. There is some additional suspicious activity that wasn't mentioned; such as Lumbarschen appearing a day after the creation of Skanderbeg's Serbian campaign by Henrikurti, to contest its deletion (diff). Though, this is not necessarily due to sockpuppetry; there are additional possibilities to consider. Demetrios1993 (talk) 14:54, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ed,

Sorry to bug you. I recently cleaned out a filmography of Jesus Franco. I feel like an editor with similar editing patterns of User:HerbLightman has come in and made changes to more European genre filmography articles through the User:49Bottles account. Not sure if it needs more time or eyes, but figured I'd point it out. Thanks. Andrzejbanas (talk) 18:55, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Whups looks like we both did this around the same time here. Hope it does not complicate things. Andrzejbanas (talk) 22:22, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, as the page falls under a contentious topic with a 30-500 restriction (WP:PIA), I am curious as to why it wasn't extended-protected per arbitration enforcement? Also, you noted in the WP:AN3 section the existence of a partial rangeblock (on a much wider range), but I am confused as it doesn't seem to be related to that incident at all. Thanks a lot! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 18:29, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Upgraded to indefinite EC protection per your suggestion. The earlier range block was mentioned for reference; perhaps it's just a coincidence. EdJohnston (talk) 18:39, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot! Yeah, the disruption that led to the range block seems to have been pretty unrelated. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 19:48, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could this be deleted as already was, sock got back after while: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Al_Madeena_Cherpulassery&action=history 93.140.190.14 (talk) 19:51, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The redirect is currently deleted. Another admin has indefinitely protected the redirect against re-creation except by WP:ECR editors. I hope that will be sufficient. EdJohnston (talk)

User was recently site blocked indefinitely from the Japanese wiki for brute forcing edits without consulting the Talk page first (this disruptive cross wiki activity started roughly a month after their initial edits on the EN counterpart), sockpuppetry, harassing JP editors who were against their behaviour with false accusations, as well as maliciously reverting edits of said editors (which coincidentally happened during the edit block request).

This user was under the scrutiny of an RfC and an edit block request, both of which were ignored by said user, except for the socks. User was continuing their edits on the English pages during the duration of both incidences. This user engages in aggressive POV-pushing and does not engage in Talks nor do they present information when pressed, as noted here, here and here. I would like to know what measures could be taken against this user. 14.192.210.103 (talk) 23:40, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This IP user is an involved editor spreading false allegations. A CheckUser was performed and the sock puppet allegations were not substantiated.

I was blocked based on a comment request where only 3 people gave input, but I believe that to be for reasons of offending Japanese sensibilities. On Japanese Wikipedia I have had a target on my back for a while for attempting to bring the Nanking Massacre article in line with the English counterpart (on Japanese Wikipedia the Nanking Massacre is named "The Nanking Incident" and many of the genocide allegations are scrubbed from the article).

None of this is relevant as I haven't edited on Japanese Wikipedia in a while. Symphony Regalia (talk) 00:27, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The last paragraph of the CU request by a JP admin mentions "an abnormal amount of logins within a short timeframe" for those accounts, which was the basis of the block by another JP admin. It should be noted that the socks were created days later after your initial edit on the subject, all of which were involved in the same subject matter.

You were requested for comments on both the RfC and the edit block request to defend yourself, would you kindly explain why you chose not to do so? 14.192.210.103 (talk) 01:53, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
