Hi Gamaliel,

if I'm reverting you I'm sorry for that and not doing this out of personal reasons. It is simply, that Forscher (Q1650915) is inappropriate term in German for the way it's used and Wissenschaftler (Q901) would have been a better choice.

Kind regards

I do not understand why you are removing ALL the descriptions when you object to only one of them. Why do you not remove only that one?

Bonjour Gamaliel,

effectivement https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?diff=1916274500&oldid=1882082203&title=Q15504361&diffmode=source# :)

mon edit provenait (sans voir l'élément) du fait que le lien ar a été victime d'un vandalisme... désolée (j'ajoute les images à partir de WD-Fist, donc sans voir les éléments, et en particulier les données de dates...

merci pour la rectif, que j'ai répercutée sur ar ;)

See: Wikidata:Administrators' noticeboard where I posted two weeks ago about a set of errors introduced by someone. I don't want to fix them, because there are likely more that went undetected by the error monitoring bot I watch. No one seems interested in looking into it. Search for Nuria2701 on that page. How can I bring more attention to the errors? See: Wikidata:Database reports/items with P569 greater than P570 for the search that detected the errors.

It is disappointing that no one has responded to this matter, which depending on the size of the set of edits, could be quite serious. I'll monitor that database report and fix what I can.

How did a dead woman give birth to a child? Anna Claypoole Peale and Mary Chambers should be alive at the same time, but the latest end value of Mary Chambers is 21 June 1759 and the earliest start value of Anna Claypoole Peale is 6 March 1791. You restored that error.

I've added the correct mother and an image of her.

I should have fixed it, instead of deleting it, but I was fixing a large number of the same error, and I didn't want to lose my place in the queue.

Hi Gamaliel,

please also fix the suffix in the non-English languages, e.g. at Joseph Howland Coit (Q118113365). Thanks in advance.

Done! Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I found you modified the parents of this person. but this does not agree with how Wikipedia says.

Hello Gamaliel,

if you can't avoid uppercase surnames like Nathaniel GOODWIN (Q114562901) by better checking the source please don't enter anything for German in future.

Thanks

These items are created by the Mix and Match tool. I don't make the choice to make them uppercase, they are created that way by the tool in ten languages. I don't know why it makes some items uppercase and others in the proper case, that is something you will have to ask the tool creator. I will be glad to not create anything with a German label, but the tool will not allow this. When I create these items I try to remove the uppercase manually, but occasionally I forget.

Hi Gamaliel,

do you know more about him? I'm trying to separate all James Byrne's.--

Looks like the people at the Library of Congress are having the same issue. This item was based on an LC authority file that is labeled as an "undifferentiated record", which I think means that they have conflated two or more different James Byrnes.

Link to the authority file: https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n77014538.html

Would it be better to delete the item? Strictly speaking – unless LoC has differentiated the entry – it's not a person, but a conflation (or even a text string).

You're probably right, unless someone can sort out the mess, that might be for the best.

To search items with a specific ID you can just paste the ID into the search box (like Special:Search/6000000003075932494). To search a ID consist of multiple token add quotes around the term (Special:Search/"Clarke-1690").

Thank you! That is very helpful.

This item seems conflated multiple people (see also Q94511300 and Q115860874).

Thank you for correcting that.

However, it is strange that Samuel Niles Q94509423 had two different sons, both named Samuel, born 30 years apart. Is there any source for Judge Samuel Niles Q115860874 besides Geni?

biblicalcyclopedia said: born Dec. 14, 1743, died Jan. 16,1814, so it is most probably Samuel Niles (Q94511300) (1744-1814 but this date need other source to confirm).

biblicalcyclopedia says that Samuel Niles 1744-1814 is the son of Samuel Niles 1674-1762. However the Annals of the American Pulpit vol. 1 says he is the grandson. [https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015009320675&view=1up&seq=831&q1=niles] It seems likely that the Annals is the correct source.

Note WikiTree and Geni gives Samuel (son of Samuel born 1711) dob/dod 3 Nov 1744 - 16 Jan 1814.
