Issues

[edit]

I've reverted quite a few of your contributions for a variety of issues, but mostly the following:

Statements for ethnic group (P172) need airtight references. See the usage instructions:

subject's ethnicity (consensus is that a VERY high standard of proof is needed for this field to be used. In general this means 1) the subject claims it themself, or 2) it is widely agreed on by scholars, or 3) is fictional and portrayed as such

I'm also somewhat unsure what your definition of ethnicity is? When you added five different ethnicities to Donald Trump (Q22686) it seems to merely indicate ancestry. But ancestry is already modeled with properties such as mother (P25) and father (P22), making your addition duplicative, with a bit of speculation thrown in.

Wiki articles shouldn't be used with reference URL (P854) but imported from Wikimedia project (P143). But for ethnic group (P172), they would not suffice, anyway. In the cases I checked, the wiki articles did not even support your claims. Adding references that do not support your statements is behaviour that really stretches my ability to assume good faith.

Speaking of good faith, when you added those five ethnicities to Trump, you did so after having done the same three months before, and having been reverted with specific explanation:

The property says "consensus is that a VERY high standard of proof is needed for this field to be used", and that's for average-importance items. "imported from enwiki" doesn't cut it

So I'd ask you to please follow the agreed-upon requirements, ask questions if you do not understand something, and support statements that are not trivial with reputable outside sources.
