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]

Extended Confirmed on Yevgeny Prigozhin

Yevgeny Prigozhin (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

hey there - i don't intend to make any edits, but i was wondering if the page Yevgeny Prigozhin is still intended to be indefinitely extended confirmed protected. it was protected by you in february of 2023 due to an edit war going on at the time, and is still protected. is this intentionally left as extended confirmed or is it around the right time to remove those restrictions? 198.187.154.2 (talk) 05:04, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See the 3RR case where I applied the protection. This has also been logged in WP:General sanctions/Russo-Ukrainian War#2023. Per the wording of WP:GS/RUSUKR nobody who is not extended confirmed can edit articles which fall in this topic area. So this page is unlikely to be free of ECP any time soon. (Prigozhin, though he is deceased, remains clearly associated with the Ukraine war, so the Ukraine sanctions still apply). You are still free to propose changes on the article talk page.
