Disruption on Wikidata

I wanted to bring to your attention this discussion on the Wikidata Administrators’ Noticeboard, concerning disruptive editing by a user who was registered for multiple edit-a-thon events where you are listed as a facilitator. The user created numerous non-notable or empty items, did not respond to feedback, and continued creating such items over several days. All of the items have now been deleted.

During the incident, I pinged several facilitators listed on the Outreach Dashboard, including yourself, but none responded on-wiki or provided assistance. I understand that pings can sometimes be missed and that facilitators may not always be in close contact with participants, but when repeated disruption occurs as a result of an event, I believe facilitators have a responsibility to engage, especially when directly notified.

I hope you’ll review this case and consider how support and oversight could be improved in future events. In my view, responsiveness to issues like this is a basic expectation for those involved in Wikidata outreach and should be a factor when evaluating future grants or trusted roles.
