Class or group? edit

This item currently uses has part(s) (P527) to link to sub-breeds like Bokhara (Q7770659). This could work, assuming that the item was referring to a group instead of a class, but I don't think that's the case. This item already uses subclass of (P279) to link to domesticated pigeon (Q204179) and fancy pigeon (Q5433715), and not part of (P361). Thus, it is a class. A class using has part(s) (P527) means that every instance of said class has such parts, which is clearly incorrect.

(Pinging @PigeonIP: who made the edits.)

@Yair rand: The problem with subclass of (P279) is, that every link to domesticated pigeon (Q204179) gets deleted, because fancy pigeon (Q5433715) is a subclass of (P279) domesticated pigeon (Q204179).

I used has part(s) (P527) after a long discussion with I think User:Succu [1] and others on many, many pages as for example the Project Dog breeds and Wikidata:Forum, some userpages, subpages, ... .

Sorry for beeing very tired of discussing "the right way". My goal was to find a managable system in a very complicated world of pigeonbreeding (even if it is temporarely first, but without it, it -the explaining thing to non(pigeon)breeders- would be even more complicate to define properties that might work). We are talking about more than 800 breeds for pigeons only.

It is not possible, so I left this project (including merging and splitting items, adding original names, ref. translations of names, ...). I am doing other things now. --PigeonIP (talk) 11:43, 20 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
