Dansk Melodi Grand Prix 1983

Hi. FYI: I have put a comment on Wikidata:Requests for deletions#Q12307501. --YMS (talk) 13:50, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

Hallo PieterJanR,
When you merge items, please use the Merge.js gadget. It helps you nominating, gives the option to always keep the lower number (which is older, so preferable) and makes it a lot easier for the admins to process the requests.
If you don't have account, you may have to Create Account. With regards,--by Revi_TalkCMG at 08:22, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note that when you use the merge.js tool, please tick the "request deletion" box so that the empty item gets sent to WD:RfD. Thanks :) happy editing. Del_♉sion23 (talk) 18:19, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WWF ecoregion code (P1294)

Merging

Sorry about the reverted merge. You merged a page categorized as a disambiguation page into a family name page, which should have been wrong (disambiguation aren't names, even when they only list people sharing the same name, and should never be merged) but the article was titled as a family name and its content was about the family name, the disambiguation page already existed on the tr:WP. So I understand why you merged and I guess this is one the cases where we will have to ask the Wikipedia in question to make a choice and categorize correctly its article. We try on Wikidata not to editorialize the WP and to always respect their decisions but sometimes they are backing us into a corner. So I reverted my reverts and I'll ask tr:WP to straighten its categorization on this article. Have a good day, --Harmonia Amanda (talk) 08:09, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Policy about stereoisomers

Please respect the rule about instance/subclass classification for chemicals: stereoisomer mixture is not an instance of chemical compound but an instance. Snipre (talk) 14:32, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Student vs pupil

You are changing student (P802) to doctoral student (P185) massively, but are you sure that all of them are really officially educated and it was like supervising? --Infovarius (talk) 14:30, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The change from student (P802) to doctoral student (P185) is based on the information listed in Mathematics Genealogy Project, which gives an overview which doctoral student (P185) has which doctoral advisor (P184). To avoid an "inverse"-error listed on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Database_reports/Constraint_violations/P184 there has to be an 1:1 relation between doctoral advisor (P184) and doctoral student (P185), which I currently going through to fix these errors.

Franciscus A.A. Janssens (1843-1897)

Hallo Pieter-Jan, ik zie dat mijn pagina Franciscus A.A. Janssens, is hernoemd in Franciscus Janssens en nu met de verkeerde persoon is gekoppeld in duitse en engelse versies. Dat komt omdat de namen gelijk zijn, maar het zijn andere personen, daarom had ik de pagina oorspronkelijk ook een andere titel gegeven. Zou jij dit kunnen herstellen? Ik weet niet hoe het moet en bang iets verkeerd te doen. Alvast bedankt Hartelijke groet, Niksbij26

De wijziging heb ik teruggedraaid.PieterJanR (talk) 13:40, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Burgemeesters

Dag, PieterJanR. In de afgelopen maanden heb ik alle huidige Nederlandse gemeenten van een Wikimedia Commons-pagina voorzien, en ook nog vele voormalige gemeenten, dus al met al misschien wel vijfhonderd categorieën. Ik heb er voor gekozen om de Commons-categorieën te koppelen aan de Wikipedia-lijsten met burgemeesters en niet aan de Wikipedia-categorieën, omdat de lijsten compleet zijn, vaak zeer in tegenstelling tot de Wikipedia-categorieën en het volgens mij weinig nuttig is om twee incomplete categorieën met elkaar te verbinden, terwijl de koppeling met de lijst duidelijk meerwaarde heeft. Nu zie ik dat je dat bij Aalsmeer ongedaan hebt gemaakt, waarvan ik schrik, omdat ik niet graag al mijn werk ongedaan gemaakt zou zien, en ik wil je verzoeken vergelijkbare koppelingen in stand te houden. Ik heb hierover al meerdere discussies gevoerd, omdat de koppeling aan de lijsten ietwat ongebruikelijk was, maar er is geen reden of richtlijn die die keuze weerspreekt en er is ook verder geen bezwaar tegen gerezen, dus ik hoop dat je dat respecteert. Ik zal de koppeling Aalsmeer nu herstellen. Hopelijk heb ik zo voldoende uitleg gegeven, anders hoor ik het natuurlijk graag. Met vriendelijke groet, Eissink (talk) 12:09, 4 June 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Aanvullend: de koppeling is bedoeld om in Wikimedia Commons zo direct, via de linker zijbalk, toegang te hebben tot de desbetreffende Wikipedia-lijst (en dus niet de Wikipedia-categorie). Ook Alkmaar zal ik dus terugdraaien. Eissink (talk) 12:11, 4 June 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Q1272703 and Q2997424

Hi there. I see that you made these edits a few years ago: [1]. Is there any reason why you didn't merge them outright? --JECE (talk) 23:26, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't merge them Because their taxonname's are different: Leucocarbo georgianus versus Phalacrocorax atriceps georgianus.

Bulletin de la Société de pathologie exotique (Q26841921) and Bulletin de la Societe de pathologie exotique et de ses filiales (Q27710191)

Hi PieterJanR. I was trying to merge them, but then noticed you had added a replace by statements. Wikispecies might have gotten the ISSN wrong. Does it apply to the period after they dropped "et de ses filiales" (in 1990?)? --- Jura 09:19, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't merge them. use the "replaces" and "replaced by" statements to indicate that a magazine is superseeded by another magazine. PieterJanR (talk) 11:15, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please, what are you doing? They are the same species.

Q10945358 Q934557

You broke the interwiki link between Chinese Wikipedia and others. Raccoozzy (talk) 00:47, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Within WikiData it is preferable to keep an item with a unique name per taxon name, even if several synonyms are known for the same species. With the statement "Taxon synonym" links can then be made to the various synonym names.

Some cnidarians

Hi. I see you made some taxons restorements if they are separate species, not junior synonyms: Moerisia inkermanica and Odessia maeotica. Could you please explain your position? Brunei (talk) 12:06, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, these two types were mistakenly merged. They are two separate species that are not (junior) synonyms of each other. This is also indicated in both GBIF and WoRMS. PieterJanR (talk) 12:55, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Acoetes-Afidentula

Hi! May I ask you what is the point of this? I understand the need to differentiate between Q2666563 and Q3916623, but this one doesn't seem necessary. Syrio posso aiutare? 16:40, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bryophyta

You have confused moss (Q25347) (Bryophyta sensu stricto) with bryophyte (Q29993) (Bryophyta sensu lato). Both are "Bryophyta", but the first is the mosses, and the second includes liverworts and hornworts as well. --EncycloPetey (talk) 14:20, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This property is not for animal taxa! Use original combination (P1403) Please check your contributions. Thx --Succu (talk) 19:22, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted changes

I reverted your changes in Hainardia (Q17577412) and Hainardia cylindrica (Q2102832) för sv:Hainardia and added the redirect sv:Hainardior in Hainardia (Q17577412). Are you sure all the other language version should be as you changed them on 23 july 2024. For example in pt:Hainardia the text starts "Hainardia cylindrica é uma...". Text in the article should match taxon rank (P105), shouldn't it? Yes I know that this one of many that only have one species (Q7432) for the genus (Q34740).
