Wikidata wrangling

Hi. I see that you helped get Wikidata links to some new articles I created, and that's much appreciated. In the spirit of "teach a man to fish...", I have a question about the protocols for certain functions that are very easily handled in Wikipedia and Wikispecies, but not in Wikidata, and hopefully it's something you can teach me - assuming it's something Wikidata allows. Case in point, I just created an article for Scaralina marmorata, a species which previously had no Wikipedia article, but did appear in Wikidata under the previous combination, "Calyptoproctus marmoratus". I linked the article to that Wikidata item, but most (not all) of the links in Wikidata also point to the old combination, only a few point to the new name (e.g., iNat, BugGuide). Is there a process to migrate an existing Wikidata item to a new title, or do you really need to create an entirely new Wikidata record, and then delete all the links in the old Wikidata record that are pointing to the new name? Link deletion seems to be necessary, because Wikidata appears to choke when different records contain identical links ("There can be only one"). If Wikidata retains all previous combinations of a name, is there a way for the old combinations to point to the new one? Thanks for any tips. Dyanega (talk) 23:48, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For the most part, while we modify Wikipedia articles to have the current taxonomic name of a taxon, we keep adding new Wikidata records for each new combination of a taxon. So both Calyptoproctus marmoratus and Scaralina marmorata should each have a unique Wikidata item, each with pointers to the various DBs that have entries for that exact name. But it's a bit of Wild Wild West territory there, as WD supports all the different language Wikis. When I find IDs on the wrong Wikidata item, I move them to the correct one. And yes, there are some fields you can add to an item to point to an older name (such as "basionym" or "original combination") and you can point forward from such using the field "subject has role". - UtherSRG (talk) 00:45, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you deal with this please

Recreating a previously deleted page

Hello UtherSRG,

I noticed that you were working on the film page Obara'M, which was deleted. I want to work on that same film page but I would also like to be aware of any issues this topic had in the past to avoid repeating the same thing.

I would really appreciate your help in understanding why this topic was previously deleted.

Thanks. Aivrie (talk) 19:26, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted it as WP:CSD#G5. You may start it fresh. I suggest Draft:Obara'M. - UtherSRG (talk) 21:16, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Reliance Global Corporate Security recreated

Hello, you just deleted the Draft:Reliance Global Corporate Security

It has been recreated by the same editor. Could you delete and protect.

Can and will. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:13, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi UtherSRG, might find my SPI complaint at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Nittin Das relevant. Cheers, microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 19:12, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/CharlesBNB

Hi, just wondering what clerk action are you requesting there? I couldn't understand from just reading the case. Any clarification would be appreciated. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 15:34, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looking for a CU between the two possible puppets. If neither are CBNB, perhaps they are themselves the same. - UtherSRG (talk) 02:21, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That would be a CU request. As far as I know, clerk actions are usually for moving, merging, and splitting cases. From what I can see, Trace010 appears to be closer in connection to CBNB. Sword-Emperor-dev definitely appears fishy, but does not overlap with Trace010 and behaviorally aren't the same. (my bet is what Girth Summit said, another UPE editor picking up the same ticket for Akuma Saningong)

I'm going to close the case for SEd, then as I don't see further actions necessary. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 02:38, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Humanos!

Hello,

Thank you for the info on the reversion on human. I feel a bit too lazy to start a new debate on this on the talk page as it is outside the scope of my usual, more intensively focused topics. I can't help but be curious though: what was the compelling reason that its exclusion was deemed beneficial to the article, as there is nothing in the talk page about it (I checked beforehand). Kehkou (talk) 04:31, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think the jist of the decision is that humans are essentially domesticated, and we don't list the status of for domesticated species; we are no longer "in the wild". - UtherSRG (talk) 10:16, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion has been archived. Near the top of the talk page is a set of archival links, as well as an archive search box. I believe found the relevant discussion. - UtherSRG (talk) 10:18, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Afc declined

Hello, I appreciate your activity. But I created draft:Shwapnopuron which were brought under Afd. It was saying that WP:NORG failed. But from my point of view it does not violate the criteria of being notable in any way. An organization needs to be significant,

1) Reliable multiple sources

2) Independent

3) Secondery, In-depth and others

The article was created by maintaining all these criteria. This is evident by looking at the sources added to the references. Your last comment was to upgrade the issue of deletion discussion, where WP:NORG was lacking but this article meets all the criteria. All the sources are from prominent, reliable and national newspaper like Ittefaq, Jagonews24, Manab Zamin.... Please review the sources. Sulupa (talk) 18:24, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The deletion discussion disagrees with you. Please find a way to address the issue. - UtherSRG (talk) 23:22, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
