Alessandro Pandolfi edit

https://swb.boss.bsz-bw.de/search/results?lookfor0[]=gnd_from:188430121 and https://ixtheo.de/search/results?lookfor=188430121 make a significant misuse of https://d-nb.info/gnd/188430121 correctly regarding Alessandro Pandolfi (Q3610189): Italian painter, engraver and ceramist (1887-1953); these bibliographic records are instead by Alessandro Pandolfi (Q125547402): Italian historian of political thought (1955-2017). Thanks! --Epìdosis 11:00, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the hint. I've created GND 132697226X for the Italian historian of political thought. --Kolja21 (talk) 15:34, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Epìdosis: Tübingen (RelBib) was fast. The historian has his first article, see Q125547402#P10553. --Kolja21 (talk) 06:12, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Anna Sconza edit

https://d-nb.info/gnd/139114599 has 1978- but all other sources converge on 1975- (Anna Sconza (Q125577830)). --Epìdosis 09:17, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Done Thanks for the error message. --Kolja21 (talk) 09:49, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sabine Arndt edit

Was I correct in deprecating the VIAF in Sabine Arndt (Q124625152): German animal therapist (1965-), right? Who is the author of Handbuch der Musik im 20. Jahrhundert? Thanks, --Epìdosis 08:12, 2 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Undoubtedly a conflation. DNB identifies the co-author of Handbuch der Musik im 20. Jahrhundert (2006) as a physician born 1963 (GND 118125265). Looks like an other conflation. I'll see what I can do. --Kolja21 (talk) 14:35, 2 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
I've created Sabine Arndt (Q125750616), Mitarbeit an der Aufsatzsammlung Musik und Kulturbetrieb (2006), and filed a report. Her biographical data can be found on page 366 ("Die Autoren der Beiträge"). --Kolja21 (talk) 15:57, 2 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Alexandru Ioniță edit

Could you check https://d-nb.info/gnd/132842610 = Alexandru Ioniță (Q2643867): Romanian tenor (1948-2010)? The date 1953- (which also spreaded to Alexandru Ioniţă (Q125754658): Romanian theologian) seems wrong and I don't know if it should be applied to the second person or to neither. Thanks as always, --Epìdosis 20:53, 13 May 2024 (UTC) P.S. @Bargioni: reported me a conflation in SBN which I will solve tomorrow hopefullyReply

Looking at the CV the theologian is probably born in the 1980s, since he got a BA in 2006; I found the birthplace but not the birth year unfortunately. Epìdosis 21:03, 13 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
de:Alexandru Ionitza: "Andere Quellen gaben 1949 oder 1953 als, allerdings stets unbestätigte, Geburtsjahre an." So the year 1953 for the opera singer is mentioned in the literature but remains unconfirmed. Thanks for the hint! I've updated GND 132842610 based on Bayer. Musikerlex. Online and filed a report for the newly created duplicate GND 132818157X (02-05-24). --Kolja21 (talk) 22:39, 13 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Marcus Würmli edit

In your opinion Marcus Würmli (Q98594854): Swiss entomologist is the same person of https://viaf.org/viaf/569041/? Thanks, --Epìdosis 13:53, 18 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yes maybe, but a bit to active for one author. Unfortunately I couldn't find the doctor theses of Marcus Würmli (Q98594854): Swiss entomologist. The VIAF Würmli could also be his son or a mix of two persons. GND 1053055692 claims he is a:
  • children's book author
  • nonfiction author
  • translator
There is a second name "Marcus Würmli-Dell'Orto" and only one source (LCAuth: Alle Weine Österreichs und der Schweiz, 1984) that does not provide evidence of the statements.
I've created Marcus Würmli (Q125972112): Swiss non-fiction author and translator and connected the two items with said to be the same as (P460). --Kolja21 (talk) 18:27, 18 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
PS: I've found "Marcus Würmli-Dell'Orto" only connected with wine so I would have kept him separate. --Kolja21 (talk) 18:32, 18 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Kolja21: thanks very much for the investigation; I have added other IDs to the second. I agree about keeping them separate, in fact I also hadn't found proofs for a complete merge. Epìdosis 08:59, 19 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Gisella Cantino Wataghin edit

https://d-nb.info/gnd/140799192 = Gisella Cantino Wataghin (Q95199648): I find no confirmation in LC for the date 1952 provided by GND; instead, BNF has 1941 and it is confirmed by a (very good) database of the students of the University of Turin. --Epìdosis 14:24, 19 May 2024 (UTC) BTW, the mistake 1952 has filtered in other authority files: J9U (@Geagea:) and PLWABNReply

  Done Indeed "Anno d'immatricolazione: 1959" does not match the year of birth 1952 and the source LCAuth was misleading. --Kolja21 (talk) 19:24, 19 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Franz Josef Hassel edit

https://d-nb.info/gnd/1296482146 in the RDF "1032-12-30" should be "1931-12-30". Thanks, --Epìdosis 22:21, 19 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Done Typo fixed. Thanks for the hint. --Kolja21 (talk) 03:34, 20 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
