Thanks!

Thanks for sorting out Accel World (Q53351) (I noticed it dropping out of Wikidata:WikiProject Video games/Reports/Platform/PlayStation 3). These items are a pain to split, thanks for doing it :) Jean-Fred (talk) 16:35, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

"simulation video game (Q1610017)"

Hi, I was wondering why you reverted. There was no explanation in the edit summary. Thanks. Huggums537 (talk) 17:29, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

You changed a correct short description to a less correct one. —Xezbeth (talk) 17:42, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Items of Japanese actors or voice actors

Yesterday I was correcting the short description of all the items related to Japanese actors or voice actors and you, for your part, reversed mine without giving any explanation. However, you should not gather so many occupations in itself, you have to follow the example of the other articles (see Wikipedia:Short description#Inclusion of dates), you only have to rewrite the nationality first and then the first occupation in the short description. 148.101.59.159 18:25, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Aoi Yūki (Q1347031) is not known for being an actress. Nor is Aya Hirano (Q237405) or Yui Ogura (Q2477774). Saori Hayami (Q1153079) is just as known as a singer. And so on. I assume you're just going by the first occupation mentioned in their EN wiki article, which is the wrong approach. —Xezbeth (talk) 19:45, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

But those three Japanese voice actors you mentioned did appear in numerous live action productions, for example Aoi Yūki (Q1347031) appears in Cafe Isobe (Q372631) and some in Super Sentai (Q1054760) or when Mamoru Miyano (Q519821) recently appears in the movie The Prince of Tennis (Q303674), the other items that I have edited before I am not aware of it, and what do you mean that your approach was wrong? I do not understand you, inform yourself better. 148.101.59.159 00:09, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Short description reversal

G'day Xezbeth, you recently undid the short descriptions I added to athletics at the 2002 Asian Games – men's marathon and 2013 Speedway Premier League. I added these based on WP:SDNONE which states "If an article title is sufficiently detailed that an additional short description would not be helpful,... a description of "none" should be used to remove the article from the missing-description tracking categories." I am curious as to the reasoning behind your reversal. Cheers and happy editing! JohnnyBflat (talk) 11:38, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

That guidance is for the English Wikipedia, not Wikidata. There are no tracking categories here. —Xezbeth (talk) 12:08, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Carmilla

The 1872 novella is data item Carmilla (Q111534222). You are editing the main data item, which is for all editions of the work. The 1872 publication data applies only to the first edition, not to any other editions. --EncycloPetey (talk) 16:18, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Ok, but why call it a novel if it isn't one. —Xezbeth (talk) 16:19, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Are you claiming that no sources call it a novel? There is no precise distinction between novel and novella. If you search, you can find it described as a "novel", a "novella", or a "story". --EncycloPetey (talk) 16:23, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Wikidata supports multiple values. If you think "novella" is the better description, simply give it "Preferred" rank. We do this with conflicting data about birth dates, for example. Both dates are put in, but the one with the better support is marked as "Preferred". The other values remain in place; there is no need to limit a property to a single value. Just mark one as "Preferred". --EncycloPetey (talk) 16:31, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Hi, I noticed there technically missing an item i guess. But I couldn't quite figure it out.

I asked on the Discord wikiproject video games channel:

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q112617712 I think someone with more understanding as to what's going on with these remakes should look into this

FF7 remake. From the wiki page there is The remake the ehanced remake called Remake Intergrade and then a 3rd remake is coming ? but i think there is a wikidata item missing for intergrade ?

wikipedia:

An enhanced version, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade,[b] was released for the PlayStation 5 and Windows in 2021. The second part, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, is scheduled to release in winter 2023–2024 for PlayStation 5. A third part will complete the story and will follow Rebirth sometime in the future.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII_Remake1

They said it wasn't worth making it a separate item, but I guess you can make it one. I would agree with making it separate, but I'm somewhat confusing by the naming of all these versions Thibaultmol (talk) 15:21, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

I made a separate item: Q112663549. It has unique entries on various databases so I see no reason why it shouldn't have one. —Xezbeth (talk) 19:40, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

Personality Database

Does this database have entries in a mixture of languages, or are all the entries in English? If all the data is in English, then that information should be listed only on the data item for the Database, and not on every reference. Listing it everywhere would be redundant. --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:06, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

I'm not even sure why it's being added while using Wikidata for Web. It didn't to begin with. —Xezbeth (talk) 21:08, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Wait yes I do. It's pulling it from formatter URL (P1630) on Personality Database work ID (P10688) and Personality Database profile ID (P10757). Could just remove it if it's redundant? —Xezbeth (talk) 21:13, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Since it's redundant, I would remove it, yes. That information should only be necessary if the database is multilingual and it's necessary to individually identify the language of each entry in the database. For a single-language database, we just mark the language on the data item for that database, and bots can pull the information from the data item, as needed. --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:50, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Re: wwwyzzerdd

Hi, I noticed that you are a user of my browser extension wwwyzzerdd. I am considering applying for a Wikimedia grant to further its development (for one thing it needs to be rewritten to be compatible with manifest v3 before the 2023 deadline). As part of that I'm contacting some users to get some feedback. If you have some time I would appreciate if you could tell me:

• How do you find the extension? Is it useful to your work?
• What features / functionality would you like added? Are there bugs that you'd like fixed?
• What browser/OS do you use?

Thanks, any feedback is appreciated.

WHO Public Health Prizes and Awards

Hi, I see you have changed the link to all WHO Public Health Prizes and Awards from the lists to a redirect, is that common? FuzzyMagma (talk) 12:47, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

an item about the award should be separate from an item about the list article on Wikipedia, as they aren't the same thing. Linking to the redirect instead made sense to me as that's where an article would be if it were to ever be created. —Xezbeth (talk) 12:50, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

web novel

Hello. I see you have changed the instance of Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken (Q115735149). Can you tell me why do you think web novels are no the light novels? As I've said previous, light novels are only a style of novels, so the web novel could be both a novel or a light novel. Web novels are one that published online, but the style doesn't matter. Laftp0 (talk) 06:56, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Shōsetsuka ni Narō works are just novels. Only when picked up by a light novel label and published in tankōbon/bunkōbon format as a light novel are they considered light novels. Calling them light novels on Wikidata is just asking for confusion since the web version is ignored in 99% of cases already. —Xezbeth (talk) 07:01, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

What is the source determines light novels are only published in tankobon? I see many sources including English Wikipedia and Japanese dictionaries determine light novels as a style. Also Naro has a dedicated category for novel series as Pure Literature (Q4160933). Laftp0 (talk) 07:05, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Pokemons

Hello, why each of them is subclass of character and not instance of? Infovarius (talk) 20:08, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Because there's more than one of them. Meowth (Q877650) is not a single instance of a character. —Xezbeth (talk) 20:15, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Kochubey

Hi. Technically, you're probably right. But ! Why separate from other languages? Бучач-Львів (talk) 09:12, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

I was trying to find something useful to link to and Wikidata:WikiProject Names/Disambiguation seems to be the best option. If interwiki links are important then they can be done via redirects per Wikidata:Sitelinks_to_redirects#Disambiguation_page_and_family_name, but that isn't a requirement. —Xezbeth (talk) 09:15, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Besides. The article in EnWiki actually has a disambig template ) look at the code --Бучач-Львів (talk) 09:17, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

I'm very familiar with how enwiki surname articles are structured. If it's just a list of names with no prose they are considered set index articles, which are still not disambiguation pages. —Xezbeth (talk) 09:20, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

why complicate? as a result, they are "torn off" from similar wikipedia articles by other languages... --Бучач-Львів (talk) 09:22, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

as far as I understand the task of Wikipedia, it should simplify the search for information. --Бучач-Львів (talk) 09:24, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Removal of sitelinks to Soul Eater items on WikiQuote

I believe that on or about 03:40 30 June 2023 you likely removed sitelinks to the articles q:en:Soul Eater: Seasons 1-15 and q:en:Soul Eater: Seasons 16-Current. Can I please have a explanation. Thankyou. -- DeirgeDel ^t_a^c 06:15, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Those Wikiquote articles are utter fan fiction nonsense that should be deleted. They certainly do not need Wikidata items, and not season items since Soul Eater doesn't have any seasons. —Xezbeth (talk) 06:17, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

I nominated them for deletion on Wikiquote, should probably have just done that in the first place. —Xezbeth (talk) 06:27, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

@Xezbeth:: They were already up for deletion at q:en:Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/SoulEaterFan articles and probably best if you simply vote there. I had to drop a car in for servicing and I've come back and fixed the incorrect Vfd-new template that you probably leveraged without realising you'd raised a new VFD. Sorry if this has got a little messy and unclear.-- DeirgeDel ^t_a^c 08:32, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Removing "present in work"

Greetings, I notice that you have made many removals of present in work (P1441), and I couldn't find your explanation or rationale. Could you explain these removals, please? Elizium23 (talk) 17:49, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

That property should be for fictional things, with an exception seemingly made for real people for reasons that I'm not sure I agree with but wasn't going to argue about. The Vatican City is not a person however so I have no problem removing an unreferenced arbitrary link to a single work of fiction, when the Vatican appears in hundreds of fictional works, none of which need to be linked to either. —Xezbeth (talk) 18:07, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

No, the property's name specifically includes "fictionalized" entities, which is an obvious component of incorporating them into a fictional work. "Fictionalized" of course refers only to real-life entities which have been altered by some measure, to suit the story. Elizium23 (talk) 18:40, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

No, a fictionalized entity would be something like United States of America (Q99281400). I am not going to make dozens of such items for the sake of Civilization V of all things, there's no value in doing so. —Xezbeth (talk) 18:44, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

If we needed to create items for their fictionalized versions, the property constraints should have caught that and raised warnings. I don't see any warnings. Elizium23 (talk) 19:00, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

I believe that is because there is a subject type constraint for artificial object (Q16686448), which includes almost everything. Which looks like it was added after the October 2021 talk page discussion, which seems to agree that it's fine to use this on real objects. I do not feel like arguing so I will revert the other removals. —Xezbeth (talk) 19:11, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

About Date A Live

Sorry. As I am new at wikidata I am trying to add things but there are many things I am not sure of or I do not know about so I take reference from other Items. Can you give me the list of the statements a media franchise has and if possible manga or television series as well? It would be very helpful as I am currently adding statements to Items related to anime (media franchises) or manga. ShahajadaSJ7 (talk) 10:57, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

has part(s) (P527) is really the only important one. country of origin (P495) makes sense, and then identifiers that relate to the wider franchise instead of the separate works, like GameFAQs franchise ID (P6472). —Xezbeth (talk) 11:17, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

dōjinshi

The item calls it a literary genre tho Trade (talk) 17:28, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Yes because you added it. It doesn't even have to be literature, it's a term for any self-published work. —Xezbeth (talk) 17:45, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Whoops. My bad Trade (talk) 19:35, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

What I didn't realise is that dōjin work (Q22669665) also exists, which is probably a better option for things like Gabuli (Q113159248). —Xezbeth (talk) 17:48, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

I moved it to has characteristic (P1552) instead. —Xezbeth (talk) 19:02, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Property in Demon Slayer and Attack on Titan you just fixed

Oops! So sorry for the mistakes I made last night on these two pages, I completely reversed all the data, what a mess! I apologise for the time you had to spend sorting it out; I guess I was too sleepy for that kind of work! Again, I'm sorry and, again, thank you for your contribution! --188.153.222.26 06:48, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

About "Japanese given name" (Q22812564)

Hello. You have removed "Japanese given name (Q22812564)" from the "instance of (P31)" in several entries, why did you do that?

As the explanation says, "Japanese given name" is a "given name prominently found in Japan". "Genjirō (Q111708576)" and "Harumitsu (Q85846081)" are truly Japanese names, and I can assure you that if anyone outside of Japan has these names, he or she is most certainly of Japanese descent. Lombroso (talk) 08:00, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Japanese given name (Q22812564) used to be necessary as undifferentiated Japanese kana given name (Q88865478) wasn't a subclass of it, but it was changed fairly recently. It's a good change in my opinion and now there is no need for the undifferentiated name items to have three separate instances. The separate items for each kanji name should still use Japanese given name (Q22812564), so nothing is being lost. —Xezbeth (talk) 08:14, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

recent director and film item edits

Hello Xezbeth,
I want to talk about this change as it seems to replicate information in a way that Default values were designed to prevent (see Help:Default values for labels and aliases). Instead of having one or more Alias(es) for all languages ("aliases / mul"), you doubled the exact same information to the English and German entries.
The second issue is regarding multiple edits did on film items:

• Changing the film's title language - The language of the film title should be set to the real language. Here it's English, not Japanese. The name of the word does not exist in the Japanese language as far as I know. It's a word from the English language and therefore the language should be tagged so accordingly.
• Changing character names to Japanese writing - I see very little use in this change as the majority of the world will not be able to read this. If you think that the name should be included in the Japanese writing system as well, you can add it with a second qualifier using the same property.
• Moving Aliases from Japanese to English - AFAIC an alias should be entered in the language it would be used (spoken, written, etc.) or where it would be understood. The romanisation of Japanese names (Romaji) should therefore be entered in the Japanese alias section. If there is an English name like in the provided example, probably pretty much to nobody would use the Japanese name while speaking English.

--D-Kuru (talk) 08:34, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Mul labels are not for cramming in every possible language. They aren't even supposed to be used on things like films, see Help:Default values for labels and aliases#When should I use default values for labels and aliases? for the current accepted use cases. Japanese films can and do use English titles. The Japanese title for the Japanese film in Japan is AFTERGLOWS so why wouldn't that be used with the title property? Japanese films should use Japanese names for fictional characters what with it being a Japanese film in Japanese, if you want to include another language then create separate items for them. Romanizations are not Japanese and so do not belong as a Japanese label or alias. —Xezbeth (talk) 09:05, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Why do you keep adding invalid cross-language redirect links?

Why do you keep adding invalid cross-language japanese redirect links? This behavior is meaningless. Please wait until someone creates an article on that Wikipedia for that language before you add a cross-language link, okay? Please don't do weird and confusing things. it is meaningless for your behavior.--Znppo (talk) 14:17, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Redirect links in lieu of an article are perfectly fine. So I'll repeat myself, stop removing them. —Xezbeth (talk) 14:31, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
