[00:11:19] Over on #wikipedia-en-help I'm talking to a user who seems to be a serial abuser of Wikidata. Usename is Hyundaivenue [00:18:42] He seems to be inserting /join #wikidata-help [00:28:04] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Hey80'Q <- Can somebody explain what "running bad batches" means? [00:28:51] Running big chunks of automated changes that are incorrect [00:29:53] perryprog: does that mean he was making some kind of API connection to wikidata and injecting crap? [00:30:08] perryprog: Is this some kind of industrial scale spamming? [00:31:40] salimfadhley it's groups of changes published using tools like https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:QuickStatements [00:31:51] salimfadhley think AWB but with incorrect settings [00:32:58] Hi [00:32:59] Ah, he has joined us [00:33:17] yesss [00:34:16] perryprog: akkijava is the user I was speaking of earlier, who wishes to have his block removed. I have already explained that in my opinion the edits he made on wikidata were abusive. [00:34:49] akkijava, you need to respond to the admin who blocked you. [00:35:23] i responded but there's no response [00:35:27] on talk page [00:35:45] That does not appear to be the case. [00:35:46] It's about 2-3 months when i responded [00:36:10] You haven't edited once since you were blocked. [00:36:39] yes the blocked was from so long [00:36:53] I'm not sure what you're saying. [00:37:12] akkijava: Here is the message from the admin that you did not respond to: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User_talk:Hey80%27Q#sports_season [00:37:14] I was blocked there 5 month ago [00:37:20] Yes, and? [00:37:55] And i can't able to add new item [00:38:06] Right. That's because you're blocked. [00:38:41] Is there's any option to get unblocked? [00:39:12] akkijava: Read your talk page. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyTalk [00:41:41] If there's any sorry option or any punishable things I'm ready to accept that as I'm not aware about that [00:43:09] akkijava, read your talk page. You clearly have not done so. [00:45:14] akkijava: May I suggest that now your question has been answered please type /part to remove yourself from this group [00:45:23] akkijava: We can resume the discussion on the help group [00:46:31] we really shouldn't be helping them in #-help. That's for En wikipedia stuff, and to a /very/ limited extent, other sister project stuff—not unblock issues on sister projects. [00:48:55] perryprog: I just wanted him out of here. The limit of my advice will be that we cannot help him as he is blocked. He needs to follow the instructions from the blocking admin [00:49:30] It's not that we can't help them because they're blocked—it's that we can't/shouldn't help them because they're in the patently wrong venue for it. [00:51:22] My rule of thumb is 1) is it a quick and easy question, or one that pertains (through xwiki stuff like commons images or wikidata infobox magic) to enwiki in a constrained way? Then it can be handled in #-help. 2) is it something that involves any of policy (minus stuff covered by rule 1 like copyvio), content, or contributors from a non-enwiki? Then send them to the correct venue. [00:52:58] perryprog: thank you, I will bear that in mind. TBH, I was only really following this up because I was trying to understand something of what this guy was up to. It's clearly not the kind of thing we ought to be dealing with on en-help, but I did want him out of this room where he consumes bandwith [00:53:34] That type of curiosity can be easily sated by just talk page stalking the relevant place :P [00:53:39] perryprog: Unfortunately I doubt anything anybody has said will make the slightest difference.
