Question

Is Wikidata a reliable source for Wikipedia?

Per this edit added by user:Prakashs27.

User:Prakashs27 has also been adding birth, death, battle dates, and coronation dates using questionable sources, when they actually use sources. They have also used this source.

They added a date for the battle of Guadalete, ignoring an entire paragraph that discusses the possible dates of battle. AND, taking the date they decided upon(19 July 711), changed the date of death for Roderic, with no references.

User:Prakashs27 has warnings on their talk page for their editing from 6 different editors. --Kansas Bear (talk) 02:37, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Almost forgot! User:Prakashs27 also changed the date of the battle of Tarain using Cynthia Talbot (2015). The Last Hindu Emperor: Prithviraj and the Indian Past, 1200–2000, p. 47, except that Talbot makes no mention of any date for the battle. to which I removed the date and the misrepresentation of the Talbot source. In response user:Prakashs27 used Wikidata for a source(as mentioned above). --Kansas Bear (talk) 03:11, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-I don't know how I feel about [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1148#IP%20from%20France]] (since they are still active). They removed a sourced edit [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Moodu_Mullu&diff=1225571552&oldid=1225405419] here. The actor clearly appears in the film (at the 5:32 mark [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hqZwqVZnP4&t=331s]). But, that is not the point, they seem to go rage mode as seen at [[Sukumari filmography]] here [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2A02:842A:1BF:1901:39E2:40F9:5F44:DA78] {{ping|Aadirulez8}} (they don't seem to care about non-Telugu content/promote non-Telugu actors as Telugu actors in the lead). I wish they had an account, undoing other people's edits in favor of their own, seems like that editor is establishing dominance. The worst part is half of their edits seem to put the right films albeit unsourced so they are both a boon and not at the same time.
-Basically, I feel some edits are being undone (i.e. removing an actors film from their filmography), just because the IP removes it even though that actors appeared in the film, which can be annoying sometimes.

-:Yeah, clearly needs to be reported back. Let the IP be blocked by administrator. If a user wants to edit from the IP, they could create an account and do so. So, it will also be tracked efficiently. With IP been shared, there can multiple bad actors. [[User:Aadirulez8|Aadirulez8]] ([[User talk:Aadirulez8|talk]]) 19:45, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
-::I did here [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive361#IP%20now%20in%20Algeria]]. Their edits are clear because they are all edits to Telugu actors and all tagged as visual edits. [[User:DareshMohan|DareshMohan]] ([[User talk:DareshMohan|talk]]) 20:02, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
-:::Noticing that an IP from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=prev&oldid=1201040736 same /64 range that I blocked per ANI in January] has come back with a hgh reate of edits and no communication or provision of sources for their changes, I've gone ahead with a six month block of [[Special:Contributions/2A02:842A:1BF:1901::/64]]. If anyone sees the same pattern of edits from other IP ranges please let me know. [[User:EdJohnston|EdJohnston]] ([[User talk:EdJohnston#top|talk]]) 01:41, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
