located in the administrative territorial entity (P131)

I have removed all instances of this on U.S. state items. Since "country --> United States of America" is already used, it's redundant. TCN7JM 19:12, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Oh, I created a script that parse the country recursively and adds P131 (is in administrative unit), starting from the country head. I saw that some outer country does this, so I did it to the US too. I just thought it would be consistent if I did it to all geographical item whitin the country. --112.203.160.147 23:04, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

I suppose that located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) is more specific property and it should be used instead of "country". Infovarius (talk) 08:16, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

There's some kind of unwritten rule that country (P17) should exist on all geographic feature items. Besides, I'm not exactly sure United States of America (Q30) really fits for located in the administrative territorial entity (P131). How do you suppose it is "more specific"? Either way, the data exists in the item. TCN7JM 02:23, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

By the way, the topic it was already discussed in the chat before (see http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/2013/05#P131_and_P17), there was no consensus in the discussion though. --Napoleon.tan (talk) 13:43, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Philippines is independent of Japan

I noticed that you added incorrect information to Q928 simulating that it is territory of Japan. I have reverted this incorrect information. 71.127.131.150 00:46, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

This user has also added country (P17) set to Japan (Q17) to lots of things which already had country (P17) set to Philippines (Q928), e.g. Lupao (Q55559)... --Nikki (talk) 05:08, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

I reverted a lot of this edits mostly in the Region of Ilocos, Philippines (there might be more), pretty tedious to revert since there are good edits from this IP.--Lam-ang (talk) 16:09, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

ward area of Tokyo (Q308891)

I removed all the located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) ward area of Tokyo (Q308891) claims you added because they already have both instance of (P31) and P132 (P132) set to ward area of Tokyo (Q308891) and located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) set to Tokyo (Q1490), and the special wards of Tokyo as a whole don't form an administrative unit of their own. Why did you re-add those claims? --Nikki (talk) 04:58, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

I created a bot that traverse the entity recursively via the contains the administrative territorial entity (P150) property. The assumption is if A subdivides to any entity B or C, then B is in administrative unit located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) of A, and C is in administrative unit located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) of A. This will ensure reciprocity but it seems to be not true all the time, the contains the administrative territorial entity (P150) means both subdivides into administrative division and subdivides into other things. I am using this tool to make sure all subdivisions have other property like country (P17) is set to the same country as the root node. And also to be able to view the hierarchy of subdivision for a country. --112.203.160.147 16:24, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

By the way this tool helps me to complete the hierarchy map of a country that is not yet set like Japan, Philippines, S Korea. I even use it to other countries, even for the US and Germany. I think the entity for Germany is quite complete but for other countries they are not so complete. --112.203.160.147 16:28, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Add clarification at the project chat http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat#Question_on_how_to_use_the_is_in_the_administrative_unit_.28P131.29_and_subdivides_into_.28P150.29 --112.203.160.147 17:29, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, it's really great that you've created a bot to do this, but Wikidata has an approvals process that bots should go through before running, and one of those requirements is to create an account. There are some instructions at WD:Bot and WD:RFBOT. If you could follow that reasonably easy process, that would be great. :) Legoktm (talk) 20:05, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Puerto Rico

From June 12, 2013 here To June 23, 2013 here An identified user went through thousands of locations and added to their wikidata item ‎Created claim: located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) and filled it in with a country:

You received some comments on your talk page here re: incorrect addition on some wikidata items, which other editors had to tediously remove.

And On June 13, incorrectly added the same claim to Puerto Rico here and to the other US territories here . These are not "in" the U.S.

While some of your additions / errors were questioned and corrected by some editors, Puerto Rico slipped through the cracks. No one noticed or questioned the edit.

You responded on your talk page with how you made these edits and I quote you "I created a bot that traverse the entity recursively via the contains administrative territorial entity (P150) property. The assumption is if A subdivides to any entity B or C, then B is in administrative unit located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) of A, and C is in administrative unit located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) of A. This will ensure reciprocity but it seems to be not true all the time, the contains administrative territorial entity (P150) means both subdivides into administrative division and subdivides into other things.

So that is why since mid-2013, it came to be that on English Wikipedia and other Wikipedias, based on this incorrect addition to the Wikidata item, Puerto Rico was made to be located "in" the administrative territorial entity (131) of the United States.

This is incorrect as the only territories in the United States are the 50 states. Right after making the updates to the Wikidata items of the 50 states in the United States, the territories of the US were also updated with same incorrect claim. No one caught it. This is incorrect--The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 20:21, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
