Poor labels

Returning of invalid exports

Hi. After your batches there are a lot of duplicates appeared, which I correct through MnM. But I have been making the same edits for the third day in a row on the same items [1], [2], [3], [4], etc, where you bringing back incorrect data over and over again. Could you do something about it? Or maybe let me know how many days you plan to do the exports so I can start fixing it all later? By the way, it would be helpful if you would specify in the batch descriptions what the data is based on. Since I often fix film id batches and sometimes it's impossible to say where some nonsense data is coming from. It's clear here that it's based on imdb, but it's better to have this comment in front.

Apologies, I think I've identified the issue and am reviewing it. I'll stop making related edits until it's sorted. Jake (talk) 02:43, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Filmportal ID

Hi Jakeob, I've seen that you are interested in film. Since you are using OpenRefine (I've tried it but failed) you might want to take a look at Wikidata:Database reports/Constraint violations/P2639#"Unique value" violations. 1410 items are to much for a manual clean up. --Kolja21 (talk) 20:47, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Oh my, thank you for showing me this report. I'll go through and review. Jake (talk) 21:27, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! Ping me if you find GND errors. I can fix them. --Kolja21 (talk) 21:34, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

IMDB data

Hi Jake,

where do you get the gender of – for example – V.H. Palnitkar (Q127161211) from?

Are you also planning to import life dates from IMDB? --Bernice Heiderman (talk) 20:47, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Afternoon Bernice,

If any IMDb professionals (like a director) have also been in an acting role, they have a sort of implied binary gender in IMDb because all acting credits are classified as either Actor/Actress. I'm not sure how all these binary decisions were made and I've made some corrections to IMDb acting credits regarding this binary (some seem to be based on gendered naming conventions), but that's where that field is coming from (V.H. Palnitkar has an "actress" credit).

I'm not currently planning to do life dates (but that is something I'm interested in, there are a lot of missing birth/death dates... but years active in the industry is something I've been looking at), I'm currently trying to connect Wikidata's 'also known as' naming convention with du-duping & name matching credits from various film datasets.

Confusing edit

Why did you do this? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:23, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

And again: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q120450908&diff=next&oldid=1930871286 —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:34, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

I have blocked you because it appears that you are importing aliases without paying any attention to what they are or if they make any sense. In addition to the above-noted nonsense labels which are evidently just copying and pasting Discogs artist IDs (why???), you are also inserting aliases that Help:Alias explicitly says to not include, e.g. https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q49852&diff=prev&oldid=2232822930. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:44, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

This is amazing. You were indiscriminately adding tens of thousands of junk labels. How does this make any sense? https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q3389321&diff=prev&oldid=2232822379 —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:48, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Apologies, I think this came across as more confusing that I meant it to be. I was interested in the aliases and alternate names in Discogs. Jake (talk) 12:03, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Are you going to undo these? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 12:11, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I am reverting the imports and can undo any adds. Jake (talk) 12:13, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 12:16, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

I have submitted reverts in on the three edit groups

• https://editgroups.toolforge.org/b/QSv2/236519/
• https://editgroups.toolforge.org/b/QSv2/236520/
• https://editgroups.toolforge.org/b/QSv2/236521/

It looks like they're starting to revert, but I'm not sure the command is going through. It might be that my temporarily being blocked may have prevented them from reverting. If that's the case, I'm also able to generate QuickStatements from the specific statement IDs to everything in each batch. Jake (talk) 13:19, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Removal of aliases

Could you explain why you are mass removing aliases of artists while adding others? I don't see a pattern there and you are basically reverting my work. Mutante (talk) 18:47, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Apologies, I've reverting a mass import of aliases I made yesterday that added a bunch of confusing aliases. The reverts shouldn't be removing aliases that existed before last night. Is that not the case for you? Jake (talk) 18:49, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Yes, it is. You are reverting my manual work that is legit information. Please stop. Mutante (talk) 18:51, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Roger that, I've stopped. Can you send a link to a page that's reverting your edits? That might help me make sense of the error. Jake (talk) 18:53, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

I suppose you should remove (your) aliases which either: 1) have parentheses (with number or some another name, probably doesn't matter); or 2) equal to label (proobably with other casing). You can leave other aliases probably. --Infovarius (talk) 19:30, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Yes, that would be simpler. I can prepare both lists this evening and run them for the remaining unintended aliases. Jake (talk) 19:47, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

I can also add a note to the removals that explains why they're being removed... which might avoid further confusion. Jake (talk) 20:15, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Q125606728

Please check that the items you're creating do not already exist. Considering the labels "imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival" are identical, your item should never have been created. - Yupik (talk) 22:31, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

And also double-check that the statements you are adding are actually correct. - Yupik (talk) 22:36, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
