@Wüstenspringmaus: I removed the template "Done" to be not archieved by the bot. Edits are not patrolled, but patrolling is not trivial--Estopedist1 (talk) 06:07, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Estopedist1: There is no bot on AN that archives sections with the "done" template, and I wasn't sure if this section was resolved, so I didn't mark it with {{section resolved|~~~~}} so that other admins can feel free to mark it as resolved if they think it is. --Wüstenspringmaus _talk 05:54, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

100+ removals of country of citizenship (P27) = Empire of Japan (Q188712), trouble for them is there are ~35000 in total. To save their own time they need to be reverted or assisted (probably reverted). —Xezbeth (talk) 04:07, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As i means, this is proposed property (useful, in my opinion), but created in main namespace. Kaganer (talk) 23:08, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's a inverse property label item (Q65932995) which live in the main namespace, not a property proposal. --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 07:06, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to be a misguided new user rather than a spammer – I've deleted the two items and pointed the user towards our notability policy. –FlyingAce^✈hello 23:04, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppets keep spamming Q129644656 across many wikis. The claims of the people he's married to, or related to, are all hoaxes. It's been going on for months. Should this item be deleted? 2601:644:9083:5730:E8E0:E2A3:25FA:AEAA 16:56, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hussein kawaz appears to be systematically adding profiles manually with Authority file of the Iraqi Authors ID (P12707) from the corresponding database. However, requests via the talk page (from @ISNIplus) to add P31=Q5 to these entries (if human) have been completely ignored, which leads to a tedious cleanup job. It’s a minor thing since the edits are on the whole quite helpful, but they shouldn’t be ignoring their talk page. Could somebody perhaps leave a message in Arabic? Thanks, Dogfennydd (talk) 19:39, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And they should also be requested to use native language (P103) or languages spoken, written or signed (P1412) instead of language of work or name (P407) for these entries. Dogfennydd (talk) 19:44, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
