Chinese wiki page of gender dysphoria links to wrong wiki pages in other languages

The Chinese Wikipedia page of gender dysphoria was moved from 性别不安 (gender dysphoria) to 性别不一致 (gender incongruence) following the guidelines of the new ICD-11 published at the beginning of 2022. Here is the link of that edit: https://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%E6%80%A7%E5%88%A5%E4%B8%8D%E4%B8%80%E8%87%B4&diff=69534261&oldid=69524829.

The content of the Chinese Wikipedia page covers both the DSM-5 definitions (gender dysphoria) as well as the ICD-11 definition (gender incongruence). The Chinese page that the English wiki page gender dysphoria currently link to (性别不安) is but a redirect page to the Chinese gender incongruence page (性别不一致). But when someone click the "other language: English" under the Chinese gender incongruence page (性别不一致), it only links to one very small section titled "gender incongruence" under the ICD-11 Wikipedia page, while it clearly should correspond to the gender dysphoria page. This problem seem to exist for other languages' versions of wikipedia pages as well. The Japanese version also seem to have the same problem. For the Chinese wiki page though, I think it would be more appropriate to change the link to 性别不一致 from 性别不安, but I cannot edit it since it has a badge. --LT1211 (talk) 21:20, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

PS: Links for gender dysphoria: Q1049021; gender incongruence: Q56314793. I want to change the Chinese wikipedia link of Q1049021 from "性别不安" to "性别不一致". --LT1211 (talk) 04:25, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
these pages aren't protected. you can do this without the help of administrators. BrokenSegue (talk) 04:47, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I can't. It says "Warning: You are trying to add/remove badges to this item. At local Wikipedias adding or removing badges are done by consensus. Saving this edit was blocked and should be done only by administrators or trusted users. If you think you are correct, please contact an administrator." There is a badge for intentional redirect there. --LT1211 (talk) 00:03, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you needed to be confirmed to make this edit. Unfortunately not speaking the language I don't feel comfortable making this edit. Hopefully someone else who does will come by. BrokenSegue (talk) 07:00, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

QDJ22

Looking at the deleted edits, it is apparent that this is likely a case of paid promotional editing. I asked them if that was the case, which they declined. They have been asking me to restore the items created by another user who had been blocked for abusing multiple accounts for similar promotion. I, personally, do not wish to take any more actions in this case and would appreciate if any other admin takes time to look into this. Thank you.--BRP ever 15:43, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Item Discussion

Moved from Wikidata talk:Administrators

Hello here, An item was deleted because its a recreation of deleted item which i don't know about it before and i was told to contact the original deleting admin to request for undeletion which the admin is BRPever and i reach out to him on his talk page and he replied my first message and he asked a question which i replied but no reply from him and i sent another message but no reply yet again since then till this moment. the item is Q115804292

Kindly help me to look into this please QDJ22 (talk) 13:11, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@QDJ22: We have three possible criteria for inclusion called Wikidata:Notability, none of which the item meets. Furthermore it is promotional in nature. Short descriptions are for disambiguating what type of entity the item describes, not a long advertising blurb. Therefore, absent consensus here otherwise, the item will not be restored and the person does not belong on Wikidata. --Jasper Deng (talk) 19:24, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I believe you are mistaking the item i created with the one that was first created, the first item that was deleted might not meet the notability criteria and might be promotional.
The item I created is different from how you are saying it and what and why is the reason that the person does not belong to wikidata? QDJ22 (talk) 19:53, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@QDJ22: Sorry, all of the items you created do not belong on Wikidata for the exact same reasons.--Jasper Deng (talk) 17:45, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Seems you are talking about all of the items i have created so far, not just this particular one but i never thought that about all the item i have created.
but What is the same reason you are talking about, because i don't want my item to be having issues like this and i can become a good editor QDJ22 (talk) 07:07, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@QJD22: I already explained to you above: your items must meet at least one of the three criteria of Wikidata:Notability and the item descriptions must be used only for a disambiguating description, not advertising or promotion.--Jasper Deng (talk) 18:29, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
ohh okay i get that and i will avoid the aforementioned and improved better with my future edits and items but this particular item (Q115804292) that i brought here for discussion has a reference URL which is a news publication from a romania newspaper(ziare.com) which i added at described at url(P973) QDJ22 (talk) 16:35, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@QDJ22: Doesn't matter if your item description is promotional.--Jasper Deng (talk) 19:24, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
ohhh i understand now, i am just started editing and creating item and i don't know there is something like that
Since i know now, I plead for undeletion of the item in order to correct it instead of recreating it and i promise to be mindful of my future edits and items as i have learned something and i will continue learning to be good and better at it
Thanks QDJ22 (talk) 20:55, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Report concerning User:359998Dominic

359998Dominic (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • SUL (for IP: GUC)) — Reasons: The user is removing and changing sourced statements to wrong values. They haven't been reponding to messages on their talk page. Máté (talk) 21:09, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Máté the user in question has done over 700 edits. Could you give examples of vandalism? Estopedist1 (talk) 05:46, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Estopedist1: Most of the edits in the past two days are vandalism. Look at their edits falsifying statements on:
Since they moved on to adding unsourced religion statements but there I didn't check if they were incorrect therefore didn't revert them.
Most recently they are addin wrong minimum age (P2899) qualifiers on items oncontent ratings which I haven't had the time to go through and revert.
But the biggest issue is that they don't communicate, just keep carrying on with destructive behaviour. Máté (talk) 05:56, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
one week block. Yep, lack of communication is the biggest issue here Estopedist1 (talk) 12:20, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unblocking of IP is failing

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Unblock/2800:E2:3480:225B:30C8:345B:C0C1:1A0A cannot be done.

Error: Block for 2800:E2:3480:225B:30C8:345B:C0C1:1A0A not found. It may have been removed already.

Is only solution that this IP user has to make a user-name-account? Estopedist1 (talk) 05:39, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That individual IP is not blocked, but there is a range block at Special:Unblock/2800:E2:0:0:0:0:0:0/33 which would need to be removed. —MisterSynergy (talk) 07:53, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Estopedist1: I checked this range for collateral damage and will say that the amount of collateral damage is not acceptable for the level of abuse observed and the length chosen. Please look into other mitigation measures such as abuse filters before applying such a wide rangeblock, and please ask a CheckUser to check for collateral damage (you won't see it all in the range contributions because collateral damage includes inability of good-faith users to make accounts). An IPv6 /33 is a very large range.--Jasper Deng (talk) 09:02, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, and I unblocked whole range. Let's keep on eye on this IP range Estopedist1 (talk) 12:26, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
to check the activity from this IP range, I am putting here 2800:E2:0:0:0:0:0:0/33 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • SUL (for IP: GUC)) Estopedist1 (talk) 06:30, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Report concerning User:

User:Biyolojiyabikurdi is removing sourced info on Q37970 and Q7162 just to add an unsourced word like "Bomawezanî" instead of "genetîk". Can someone do something please? Balyozxane (talk) 15:09, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Balyozxane I blocked him for two weeks because of edit-warring/vandalism. Please find solutions via talking Estopedist1 (talk) 06:32, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Report concerning User:Valentin001818

This morning I deleted Q115959760 following a request at WD:RfD, although just using not meeting the notability criteria as rationale. A discussion on my user talk followed, User:Valentin001818 pressing me to undelete. I decided not to and explained that. User recreated the item, which I deleted as recreation. In view of the mentioned discussion I think it is wise if a second pair of eyes decides if this account is to be considered "promotion-only" and blocked accordingly. Lymantria (talk) 15:36, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am unable to find a serious source. Best hit is [1], but I see that everyone can post there press releases. Estopedist1 (talk) 06:44, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Report concerning User:Zhxy 519

Zhxy 519 (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log • SUL (for IP: GUC)) — Reasons: Zhxy 519 continuously vandalized eunuch official (Q24841818)(Eunuch public official) and eunuch (Q179294)(Eunuch). They are distinct concepts. I propose topic ban for eunuch-related items. Sharouser (talk) 07:38, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Indian hijras, castrato singers and religious Eunuchs are usually not public officials. See en:Eunuch. But Zhxy 519 made many disruptive edits based on his misconceptions. Sharouser (talk) 07:48, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I notified him. He hasn't done any edits since 3 January Estopedist1 (talk) 14:59, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I’m sad the proposer of this topic never tried to discuss with me. I’m tired of this topic, and I will just leave the reasons for my edit.
  1. I haven’t seen the word “eunuch official” used in European languages besides wiki projects. And even you say so, the article “eunuch” still using most of its part to describe an “eunuch official“.
  2. So, it is sad to see most of the Asian langs isolated from the big group, while the original eunuch definition in European langs doesn’t exist in most Asian langs.
  3. Current situation is introduced by a long-term Korean puppet user in wikidata, if my memory is correct. My first purpose was to stop its vandalism.—Zhxy 519 (talk) 15:50, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Report concerning User:L.Adam2005

L.Adam2005 ( talk  · contribs  · logs )

L.Adam2005 repeatedly changing Lili Pankotai (Q115686720)'s occupation (P106) from poet (Q49757) to activist (Q15253558). The Hungarian article does not say that she is an activist but we have a French source which supports the fact that she is a poet. I indicated this in my edit summaries. As I am involved, please help resolving the situation. Thanks, Bencemac (talk) 18:23, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Q229747 (Erica Durance)

Someone is very keen to cross-wiki pushing a twelve year old low resolution cropped photograph of this actress as default image on this project, persistently ignoring the existence of a much higher quality recent image. Could one of you please take a look at this at Talk:Q229747? Thanks in advance and regards, Wutsje 21:26, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
