Religious buildings

copied from User talk:Marsupium

I've just removed your example from this - as I understand it, dedicated to (P825) is for the dedication on works - "I dedicate this novel to XYZ". Buildings in honour of someone, or religious dedications to saints/deities etc, usually use commemorates (P547) (& named after (P138) if they're named for them). Andrew Gray (talk) 11:24, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi Andrew, actually this was a kinda trial balloon testing if anybody opposes. :-) The label in English at least seems to fit, cf. w:Dedication. And church building (Q16970) is a work (Q386724), so is St. Peter's Basilica (Q12512) (otherwise it would raise a constraint violation, but it doesn't), I've looked it up this morning (UTC), but haven't the chain at hand now, you can find it.

I don't think commemorates (P547) or named after (P138) are quite fitting here. Commemoration isn't really the point neither is the naming. I was insecure about using dedicated to (P825), too. What let me add it were the types statistics indicating that out of the c. 7,658 uses many more than 6000 use the property in that way like on St. Peter's Basilica (Q12512). I haven't queried the statistics for commemorates (P547) and named after (P138) though, commemorates (P547) at least won't show this result certainly. I propose to move this small discussion to Property talk:P825 to make it visible for further discussion. Regards, --Marsupium (talk) 16:35, 27 September 2017 (UTC) 16:42, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

Does anyone else have thoughts on this? I agree that neither commemorates (P547) (& named after (P138) seem quite right for "St. Peter's Basilica (Q12512) is dedicated to St. Peter" or "Hanuman Temple, Connaught Place (Q12459599) is dedicated to Hanuman", but it seems strange to have that property cover both religious dedications and literary ones.

The constraints on this property are also a bit unexpected. It seems that because churches etc are a subclass of structure of worship (Q1370598), which is a subclass of religious object (Q21029893), which is a subclass of artificial physical object (Q8205328), which is a subclass of work (Q386724), the constraint for "must be a work" allows buildings. However, that parent item seems to be very much intended for creative works, so maybe something's getting a bit confused in the taxonomy tree. Andrew Gray (talk) 11:40, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Constraint notification of reference which is at the interwiki for the edition

Are we able to modify the constraint notification about "provide a reference" where there is an interwiki that contains that dedication? Exaple A sketch of the physical structure of Australia, so far as it is at present known (Q19025678) has a dedication in the work, at the interwiki for the edition itself. Providing a reference to itself when it is overt in the work seems superfluous.  — billinghurst sDrewth 02:06, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

Usage question

Hi!

For churches dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption (Q10337564), can I set the claim to that value, or should I use Virgin Mary (Q345)?

Thanks in advance. Best regards Peter17 (talk) 12:28, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

I'd go with

⟨ Basicila de notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption ⟩ dedicated to (P825) ⟨ Virgin Mary (Q345)    ⟩
object named as (P1932) ⟨ "Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption" ⟩

.

Then, record Our Lady of the Assumption (Q10337564) in named after (P138) Karl Oblique (talk) 17:40, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
