Arbitration


Heya, was just wondering how one keeps a WD entry from being linked (in this case, by bot) to a page when it's the "wrong" page. For example Junya Matsumoto keeps getting linked to wikidata:Q96971581 despite the two being about different people. Primefac (talk) 14:13, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

@Primefac: The quickest approach would probably be to create a new item for it. False matches like this should only be happening when the name and year of birth both match, which isn't to common. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 14:16, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
Ah, right. I always forget that WD doesn't distinguish pages the same way enWiki does. Thanks. Primefac (talk) 14:27, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Please delete wrongly uploaded photo?

Hi, Materialscientist. Re File:Kristof Nel (1a).jpg. Please would you kindly delete the first upload on this file - I uploaded the wrong photo in error. The correct photo is the chap without spectacles, and with his chin on his hand. The wrong photo is the chap with glasses. Thank you. Storye book (talk) 17:47, 14 August 2024 (UTC):

Possibly you meant to ask @Materialscientist:. But done anyway. ;-) Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 17:49, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
Eek. Sorry. My bad. Hi Mike Peel! Thank you for doing the deletion, anyway. Storye book (talk) 18:51, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
Any time. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 18:53, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
Just to explain what happened next: it turns out that my second upload was from Getty Images, where, if I understand correctly, the photo did not have enough written below it to prove the identity of the sitter. So I have now uploaded a different image from a different source on a different image filepage, and added it to the Christof Nel article - and so far, all is well. Some days, everything goes wrong, eh. Storye book (talk) 10:26, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
