Removal of interwiki links?
Why are you removing these? Andy Dingley (talk) 11:45, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I remove interwiki links if they are on wikidata, or if they are incorrect. In other cases I first add them on wikidata and then remove them from the page here. Is something wrong? --Yelysavet (talk) 11:46, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for replying. You seem to be removing a lot of links that are not on wikidata, and that aren't obviously wrong. Just one example: Category:English_aviators   Andy Dingley (talk) 11:48, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * In that case all links correspond to Category:British aviators, therefore I removed them. --Yelysavet (talk) 11:50, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't see that as a strong reason to start bulk-stripping links! British and English are mostly confused on WP anyway. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:52, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * If you want to add British links to English categories, you can just add Interwiki extra. For this you don't have to change wikidata items. --Yelysavet (talk) 11:57, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Or Overhead_camshaft I can't read Russian, but I can read French - this is a correct link to the the French wikipedia for that page. Why remove it Andy Dingley (talk) 11:52, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * French article correspond to Camshaft. --Yelysavet (talk) 11:59, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * The en:WP article is more specific, as overhead camshaft. French doesn't have a corresponding article as a separate article, it has a relevant section (with the same scope as overhead camshaft) at fr:Arbre à cames.  Are you planning to remove all iwls that point to a section?  Why? Andy Dingley (talk) 12:02, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * You are right, now I added on wikidata link on French redirect, thus it is seen in article here. --Yelysavet (talk) 12:28, 12 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Why remove gv:Ronney:Shliggagh from Category:Sligo (town)? Andy Dingley (talk) 12:07, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Also on wikidata. --Yelysavet (talk) 21:50, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Yelysavet, you keep removing interwiki-links. And you do this mostly without giving any explanation as to what the advantage of doing so might be.

You argue above that the links you remove from the articles already are on wikidata. This is not exactly true in most cases as those links would show up on the left of the article if there were any equivalent entries on wikidata to the ones you removed.

What you probably mean is that you remove links to articles in other languages if these articles are already linked to different article in the English Wikipedia through Wikidata. But, since Wikidata does not provide any way to link a single article in one language to two separate articles in another language, these articles need to contain the links you keep removing in order to find a corresponding article in other languages. It is not really relevant, if the corresponding articles do not completely match each other. Obviously linked articles in different languages always only match each other to a certain extent.

Construction aggregate, for example, used to link to de:Gesteinskörnung. You apparently removed this link (among many others), because de:Gesteinskörnung already links to Aggregate (composite) on Wikidata.

But the German de:Gesteinskörnung does in fact pertain to both Construction aggregate and Aggregate (composite). So why choose between the two? Why not link all three articles since they all refer to each other.

The possibility to link information is one of the core principles and advantages of Wikipedia. I never understand why editors choose to make it harder for Wikipedia's users to find information relevant to a certain topic by removing wikilinks and interwikilinks.

 * Ambox notice.svg There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. KaiKemmann (talk) 17:58, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * The discussion has apparently been moved here. KaiKemmann (talk) 19:36, 11 December 2017 (UTC)


 * for such a cases there is Interwiki extra Yelysavet (talk) 22:32, 11 December 2017 (UTC)


 * I do not understand your comment, Yelysavet.
 * Is this a reply to my statement above?

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

I noticed your recent edit to Old World warbler does not have an edit summary.&#32;Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:


 * User contributions
 * Recent changes
 * Watchlists
 * Revision differences
 * IRC channels
 * Related changes
 * New pages list
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting. ''Your edit eliminated many interwiki links. That might be what you intended for some reason, but you should explain that with an edit summary.'' Eric talk 14:00, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Arbitration note
Note that this is a clear breach of an active arbitration remedy and could see you blocked. It was made quite clear to you at the top of the page that you "are required to obtain consensus through discussion before restoring a reverted edit", which you have not done. To avoid being blocked you are best advised to revert your reinstatement of the section and discuss the point on the talk page.

(Yes, it's a ridiculous situation, since the edit has nothing to do with the arbitration area being enforced. I objected at the time.  But those are the ground rules until they are lifted.  This does not change the fact that your edit broke the restriction.) Kahastok talk 17:41, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
