This user is fallible and encourages other admins to be bold in reverting their admin actions.

All admins are fallible. Wheel wars are bad. I therefore follow a One Revert Rule for admin actions.

If you are an admin, and you disagree with an administrative action I have taken (e.g. block, protection, deletion), then please go ahead and reverse or modify it. You don't need to try to contact me first, although a notification afterwards would be polite. If I disagree with your change, then I will seek support from a third admin to reinstate mine.

If you are a non-admin reading this, and you take issue with an admin action of mine, I recommend that you raise it with me in the first instance, and take it to other admins only once you exhaust that avenue. If I have blocked you, you should probably mention my policy in any {{unblock}} request.

I hope to see you there! User:Calliopejen1 (talk)

To opt out of future mailings about LA meetups, please remove your name from this list.

In this session, Steve will discuss basic interactions with the API and demonstrate using the VanderBot Python application to rapidly upload tabular data to a wikibase.cloud instance. After performing a mass deletion, Steve will conclude by describing how he's used the Wikibase API to facilitate addition of structured data to Commons. Registration link
