Are newspapers necessarily organisations and businesses? edit

I don't think I agree with the statements that newspapers are a subclass of both organisation and business. --Bencomp (talk) 22:38, 7 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Bencomp: you are correct, a single organisation can publish multiple newspapers, for example. Governments can also publish newspapers. Ghouston (talk) 07:23, 5 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

What is the meaning of an instance of Q11032? edit

Is an instance of newspaper (Q11032) a physical object made of paper, or a serial publication, which is a set of physical objects? It seems to me that there should be two separate classes for these. Daask (talk) 15:14, 27 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Integrate U.S. Newspaper Directory with Wikidata? edit

What might it take to import the U.S. Newspaper Directory, maintained by the U.S. Library of Congress with Wikidata?

I downloaded that database months ago and tried to analyze it and found that the data were quite dirty: Start and end dates were not provided for many of the entries. In many cases, the information was available in text but not in the proper fields. I got diverted to other projects, partly because any work I did to clean the data would not benefit anyone other than me. If someone here has ideas about this, I can share those ideas with a contact I have in the LOC. Thanks, DavidMCEddy (talk) 03:07, 30 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
