@Nickele: these are about two different concepts: azo group (functional group) and azo compounds (class of chemical compounds). It should not be merged. The problem is that some wikis describe both concepts in one article (either in 'azo group' or in 'azo compounds', but some wikis have these concepts separated). Wostr (talk) 10:07, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks Wostr. I see now the distinction. I was surprised to see 2 pages for these similar but different concepts only in Polish. Because of that, the interwiki for the French and German pages is very small. Iguess, the only solution to create the equivalent for azo compounds in French?--Nickele (talk) 13:37, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Nickele: or you can just rewrite the French article a little, it's up to the French community. We had a RfC here in Wikidata to enable redirects, but it's not supported yet – in that case it would be possible to add redirects in both WD items for the languages that have both concepts described in one article. However, even if there is no sitelink in any of these two items, merging them would be incorrect – Wikidata have many items without sitelinks and in this case both items are correct, even without sitelinks. Merging chemistry-related items is not simple, because something may be well described in one encyclopedia article, but may constitute two, three or more different concepts (different Wikidata items), e.g. chiral chemical compound with two stereogenic centres may be described in one article, but in Wikidata this chemical compound will be described in several items (like homocystine is described in 6 different items).

If you try to get a cross-linguistic list of views of the Yellow vests movement, this fails because fr.wp has created a separate page Mouvement des Gilets Jaunes (France), which should be attached to Q60781646, but is in my view mistakenly attached to Q58805164. --SashiRolls (talk) 14:16, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Liuxinyu970226:: Discussion have already clarified the difference. Yellow Vests movement in France (Q60781646) is part of yellow vests movement (Q58805164). It seems however that since the question, there are no Wp pages linked to Yellow Vests movement in France (Q60781646). And the items are not properly separated (why duplicate participant?). It may indicate that it can be decided to merge (not delete).

@SashiRolls: If all you want is interwiki links, I instead recommend to use Template:Interwiki extra (Q21286810) (already available on some Wp and tested). If not, consider local links. -- Jagulin (talk) 21:08, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Government of France (Q1450662)/Council of Ministers (Q2993836) edit

Items involved: Q1450662^Talk, Q2993836^Talk

Status:

in doubt

Based on the topic indicated by its name, the en-wiki redirect at w:Council of Ministers of France should be linked to the French article fr:w:Conseil de Ministres (France) via Q2993836. But when I tried to save it, I get a "Could not save due to an error". I'm guessing this is because the former is a redirect. No doubt this sort of thing has come up before, but I'm not a habitué at WD and am not sure where to find it or what to do about it.

French Wikipedia currently has two articles, fr:w:Gouvernement de la République française (Q1450662) and fr:w:Conseil de Ministres (France) (Q2993836), whereas en-wiki has just one article: Government of France (Q1450662). En-wiki also has the redirect w:Council of Ministers of France (with rcats R to section and R with possibilities which targets "Government of France". This redirect should, imho, be expanded into an article. (I might do it myself.) In the meantime, it seems to me that the en-redirect should redirect to the fr-article even in the abence of any text.

But during the linking process for Q2993836, when I offered "en-wiki" and "Council of Ministers of France" as the linking data, the pop up offered the redirected target article name "Government of France" on en-wiki instead. When I rejected that, and insisted on the redirect name, I got the error.

I'm assuming that the linking process refuses a redirect because that is the design, but I find this a shame. The current redirect title uniquely specifies what the article is about and distinguishes it from other articles, just like a future article in its place would do. Why should it matter whether the en-wiki mainspace title "Council of Ministers of France" has text in it, or has a redirect link? Although I see why certain redirects (misspellings, alt names, many others) should not be linked, it seems like a redirect which has "possibilities" and is marked "printworthy" meets the standard of linkage.

@Liuxinyu970226: I don't understand your question; the de-wiki folks do it correctly, and have two different articles, paralleling the two articles in fr-wiki. En-wiki also has two mainspace pages, one is an article with text in it (w:Government of France), matching the fr- and de-wiki government articles, on that topic, and the other is an article with no text in it (w:Council of Ministers of France), matching the French and German articles about Ministers; it just so happens that the French and German ones have readable text, and the en-wiki one does not, but is a redirect. So what? I want to link the en-wiki redirect to the fr and de Ministers articles; that is the proper way to resolve this. Well, the best way is to convert the en-wiki redirect to a one-sentence stub, and then this whole issue goes away; but this is a volunteer project; while we are waiting for that article to be written, the proper thing to do, is to link the redirect. Then, when it becomes an article, stub or longer, it will already be linked via wikidata to the correct articles in other languages. Why make this impossible?

Earth's crust (Q15316)/crust (Q4232578) edit

Items involved: Q15316^Talk, Q4232578^Talk

Status:

not resolved

These are certainly different concepts -- one is an example of the other. But because there's a lot more information known about the Earth's crust than about all other planet's crusts combined, many Wikipedias have just one article for both concepts.

Trouble is, different Wikipedias differ on which of these concepts gets the page title. E.g. on enwiki, w:Earth's_crust just redirects to a section of w:Crust (geology) (its largest section); but on dewiki, w:de:Erdkruste ("Earth-crust") is the page, and there doesn't seem even to be a redirect from a title that would correspond to "Crust (geology)".

The result is that if you're looking at the English page and want to find the German, there's no interlanguage link, and vice versa.

I don't know how to resolve this. I guess the escape-hatch solution from a Wikipedia perspective is just to add a bunch of old-fashioned "local" links in the various articles. It sure would be nice if there were a way to get that from information in Wikidata, though -- something like "if looking for Q15316, fall back to Q4232578" and vice versa. --Gnp (talk) 22:43, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello RomanM82, leitmotif (Q221117) represents the leitmotif in music, leitmotif (Q25564203) the leitmotif in any art form (including literature, fine arts, architecture, music, etc.). - Valentina.Anitnelav (talk) 09:26, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Liuxinyu970226: Is this matter still "in doubt"? My principle would be "when in doubt, choose separation". Would that be the agreed principle?

@Valentina.Anitnelav: The English article seems to state leitmotif (Q25564203) is even wider than art. There's no obvious reference to support it, but should WD cover that as well? Would that be yet another item or another "facet"? Facet motif (Q1229071) is "visual art" but is not mentioned in the English description. Perhaps not feasible to have the description fit all future changes, but your phrase "any art form" should work, if it has consensus support. Even if I agree there are differences, as you describe, one might argue that the concept is the same and it's only evolving/generalizing over time. Is it still a clear vote for having separate items?

@RomanM82: If all you want is interwiki links, I instead recommend to use Template:Interwiki extra (Q21286810) (already available on some Wp and tested). If not, consider local links.

--Lesendes Okapi (talk) 19:30, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm completely new to Wikidata and just came here by clicking the "edit links" button in the interwiki-link-space at the left of a wikipedia-article.

I found there are two categories at Wikidata for stilbene - Q4442616 and Q26990366. So some languages belong to one category and some to the other, which results in missing interwikilinks, so if you open the article Stilben no link to the English version is to be seen and vice versa. I think the problem is because of the topic - there are two isomers of this compound and some languages have separate articles for each one and a kind of disambiguation site for the topic "stilbene" linking to the separate articles and some languages have just one article about both compound variants.

Would it be possible to link this pages anyway? I think the benefit for the reader from having more language options to decide would be bigger than the confusion, because there are only two derivates.

--Lesendes Okapi (talk) 19:30, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

These two items should not be merged; Stilbene (Q4442616) is about a Wikipedia disambiguation page, stilbene (Q26990366) is about a group of compounds. In fact, at least four different items may exist for these two compounds: (1) item for a group of compounds (in other words: for compound with undefined configuration of the double bond) = stilbene (Q26990366); (2) item for (E)-stilbene = (E)-stilbene (Q306338); (3) item for (Z)-stilbene = (Z)-stilbene (Q3244815); (4) item for disambiguation page = Stilbene (Q4442616). It's up to the Wikipedia communities whether they want to have a disambiguation page or an article describing both compounds; in Wikidata these two concepts (disambiguation page vs article) should be separated. However, it is possible to link these pages using local interwiki links. Wostr (talk) 17:17, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

long wave (Q1136860)/long wave (Q1082861)/low frequency (Q17156810) edit

Status:

Rua and I disagree about the (incl. the historical) content of Q1136860 and Q1082861 and that is why I write this chat/discussion. (Low frequency has it's own item Q17156810)

Quote fra Rua: "Langbølger (Q1082861) is about the longwave broadcasting band, and has always been about that before I even made any edits, because it always had "radio broadcast band" in the description. So Q1136860 is a duplicate."

My judgement is that:

Q1082861 should be about the longwaves as defined by ITU, as before
Q1136860 should be about the longwave (broadcasting) band as defined by ITU, as before.

The elder history of Q1082861 shows that it is about the longwaves (as defined by ITU; 10 km - 1 km; correspond to 30-300 kHz). Contents: GND=4166718-9 (Source: Imported from english Wikipedia) refers to Kilometerwelle, Radiofrequenzbereich. commons:Category:Longwaves. Kilometerwelle found here; de:Frequenzband#Übersicht.

da:Langbølger
de:Langwelle
(fr:Basse fréquence) Quote: "...ou LF (low frequency) désignée aussi par « grandes ondes » ou « ondes longues..."
pt:Onda longa
...

The elder history of Q1136860 shows that it is/was about the longwave (broadcasting) band (as defined by ITU; refers to the range center carrier wave to center carrier wave: 148.5-283.5 KHz, interval with channel AM-modulation 153-279 kHz; 9kHz (+-4.5kHz) channel bandwidth). (ought to have commons:Category:Longwave radio broadcasting).

Sources:

By ITU definition the name w:Longwave (and w:low frequency) refers to the wavelength interval 10 km - 1 km, frequency interval 30-300 kHz.

Suggestion:

Make [2] "active" and move the relevant items from Q17156810 and Q1082861 to Q1136860. (ought to have commons:Category:Longwave radio broadcasting).

local government in Australia =/= local government area of Australia --Alan ffm (talk) 08:03, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Powerek38: - he is expert in this area. PMG (talk) 08:20, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is quite a complex issue. The thing is that in many countries local government consists of more than one tier. This is also reflected in Wikidata, because there are items first-level administrative division (Q10864048), second-level administrative division (Q13220204) and third-level administrative division (Q13221722). In Australia there are in fact two tiers - state/territory and LGA. However, under Australian law only LGAs are technically local goverment - because state/territory goverments are not considered local in legal sense. So I would say that local government in Australia (Q18481123) is about the system as a whole. I absolutely agree that for this item instance of (P31) -> local government (Q6501447). On the other hand local government area of Australia (Q1867183) is, to my mind, an instance of second-level administrative division (Q13220204) and that's how I would classify it. Most langauge versions of Wikipedia deal with both those topics in one article. The only exceptions are Polish and Portuguese wikis. If those two communities decide to integrate their articles, then the merger of both items seems feasible. Before this happens, I would keep both items separate.

English (Italiano in fondo)

To anyone reading here, I apologize in advance if my English is not the best, as it is not my native language, but I thought regardless to post my issue here, as this problem could very well happen with any language, and here I have also the opportunity to be reached out by more of you guys. I also apologize already for the length, but here is the issue I'm concerned with:

Many languages have merged their version of the Atomic Bomb article within their article about Nuclear Weapons. In the Italian version of the Atomic Bomb article there is a lot of information that, if we merge it in the Nuclear Weapon article, I feel it would be a lengthy article that does need its separate page. It would be also unfairly balanced with the other kinds of nuclear weapons discussed in the article (namely: Atomic Bomb, Hydrogen Bomb, Neutron Bomb, Cobalt Bomb, and Radiologic Weapons).

So, to put it in basic terms, the "nuclear-related" articles in the Italian Language are organized in this way:

An general article about Nuclear Weapons. In this article, different kinds of nuclear weapons are described (each article has its own wiki article):

Merging the Atomic Bomb article in the Nuclear Weapon article (as well as all others) would make the article really lengthy to read and unbalanced in the amount of information available on each weapon. So there does not seem to me any reason to merge these articles together (unless anyone would like to tell me otherwise?). However, given the way the articles are organized, it is difficult to link these wiki articles with other ones which are not organized this way. For example, the English Wikipedia does not have an article on the Atomic Bomb (only a redirect page to the article "Nuclear Weapons"), and so a link of the Italian version of the Atomic Bomb article to the English one is impossible to add, given that the English page is then redirected to the broader "Nuclear Weapons" article (which is already linked to the Italian version of the article). A similar issue is happening with the German and Portuguese versions (they only have the Nuclear weapons/bombs article, already linked to the Italian article on nuclear weapons).

How is this issue able to be solved? I don't want to leave the Italian article without an English version, because many Italian people go on the English version of articles to get more information from there, since there is a lot more information online available in English. Do I create an English page for the atomic bomb? Or are multiple articles able to be linked to one in another language? Please let me know if you're able to help, or if you have any hints on how to help. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. --DanielePalladino (talk) 05:43, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Italiano

Mi scuso per la lunghezza del post, ma volevo essere chiaro e completo nella mia spiegazione. Questo è il problema:

Molte lingue hanno fuso la loro versione dell'articolo sulla bomba atomica all'interno del loro articolo sulle armi nucleari. Nella versione italiana dell'articolo sulla bomba atomica ci sono molte informazioni che, se le uniamo nell'articolo sulle arme nucleari, ritengo che sarebbe un lungo articolo che ha bisogno di una sua pagina separata. Sarebbe anche bilanciato ingiustamente con gli altri tipi di armi nucleari discusse nell'articolo (vale a dire: bomba atomica, bomba all'idrogeno, bomba a neutroni, bomba di cobalto e armi radiologiche).

Quindi, in breve, gli articoli "correlati ad armi nucleare" nella lingua italiana sono organizzati in questo modo:

Un articolo generale sule armi nucleari. In questo articolo vengono descritti diversi tipi di armi nucleari (ogni articolo ha il proprio articolo wiki):

Unire l'articolo sulla bomba atomica nell'articolo sulle armi nucleari (così come con gli altri articoli) renderebbe l'articolo molto lungo da leggere e sbilanciato nella quantità di informazioni disponibili su ciascuna arma. Quindi non mi sembra ci sia alcun motivo per unire questi articoli insieme (a meno che qualcuno non voglia dirmi diversamente?). Tuttavia, dato il modo in cui gli articoli sono organizzati, è difficile collegare questi articoli wiki ad altri che non sono organizzati in questo modo. Ad esempio, la Wikipedia inglese non ha un articolo sulla bomba atomica (solo una pagina di reindirizzamento all'articolo "Nuclear Weapons", Armi Nucleari), quindi un link della versione italiana dell'articolo della bomba atomica a quello inglese è impossibile da aggiungere, dato che la pagina inglese viene quindi reindirizzata al più ampio articolo "Nuclear Weapons" (Armi nucleari, che è già collegato alla versione italiana dell'articolo). Un cosa simile si trova anche con le versioni tedesca e portoghese di Wikipedia (hanno solo l'articolo sulle armi nucleari/bombe, già collegato all'articolo italiano sulle armi nucleari).

In che modo questo problema può essere risolto? Non voglio lasciare l'articolo italiano senza una versione inglese, perché molti italiani vanno nella versione inglese degli articoli per ottenere migliori e maggiori informazioni da lì, dal momento che ci sono molte più informazioni online disponibili in inglese. Creo una pagina inglese per la bomba atomica? Oppure più articoli possono essere collegati a uno in un'altra lingua? Per favore fatemi sapere se siete in grado di aiutare, o se avete suggerimenti su come aiutare. Qualsiasi aiuto è apprezzato. Grazie. --DanielePalladino (talk) 05:43, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Conversely, German Wikipedia article Sperrsatz is linked to the English Wikipedia article Letter-spacing, but probably shouldn't be, because Sperrsatz is focused on use of expanded spacing on just a few words in the text to create emphasis.

puzzle jug (Q4429804) is en:Puzzle jug. As a word, it could very well be a proper translation for Scherzgefäß, but the article seems specific for the type. It refers to other types, e.g. en:Fuddling cup.

wikidata Vertex cover problem (Q924362) and Vertex cover (Q11515519) ought to be merged -- Pr.mtb (talk) 16:43, 25 June 2019 (UTC) (signature added from history)[reply]

If WD is about having one item per thing they should not be merged. What were your arguments Pr.mtb?. Compare "paint" and "painting". Even if an article covers both, they are different things. Items have different "Freebase ID". deWp currently have separate articles.

Still, if all you want is interwiki links, I instead recommend to use Template:Interwiki extra (Q21286810) (already available on some Wp and tested). -- Jagulin (talk) 03:13, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article de:Terpentin (linked with pine resin (Q18603218)) deals with the fresh, sticky, semiliquid resin of pine-type trees while the article de:Terpentinöl (linked with turpentine (Q201382)) deals with the light fraction of this resin (while resin in a strict sense is the remaining solid heavy fraction only) which is used as paint thinner and as such is often simply called “Terpentin”. In am not an expert and I didn’t know that there is a difference between Terpentin and Terpentinöl until recently. I would have referred to “Terpentin” (in the current sense of the de.Article) as “Harz” (i.e. resin, regardless of being fresh and semisolid or dry and solid) and to “Terpentinöl” as “Terpentin”.

There is a page for Coturnix, a page for Coturnix Coturnix, and a page for quail.

Ok, yeah, that's true, I thought, a quail is more general, I suppose, and it says in the description of quail quail (Q6072584) it is a "name for several genera of birds in the order Galliformes". Well, what is it now? To which article in German should quail quail (Q6072584) link? Biological systematics is driving me crazy. There should be some kind of link from quail to German or a short text on the page "quail" that says something like "Are you looking for the species Common Quail (Coturnix Coturnix)?" --Wikimarrowe (talk) 06:06, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Items involved: Q2724397^Talk, Q6441749^Talk

Status:

not resolved

Not sure I am using the right form, but I was looking for a definition of the Kudos term in Wikipédia (fr). Found the page, but the interwiki link does mention that the English page does not exist. Checked on google, the English Wikipedia page does exist, but when i tried to edit I get a conflict between two Wikidata entries. I assume that Kudos and kudos are describing the same idea, so should be merged ? Pardon my frenglish :). Eystein (talk) 13:18, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Eystein: Thanks for highlighting this. There is a specific difference for those items. Since Kudos (Q6441749) is marked as a disambiguation page it is not a "real world concept" but just a Wikipedia technicality. The principle of Wikidata is to never mix those into the "real world concepts". It may be argued that kudos (Q2724397) is not much more than a mention of different uses of the word, but it's still marked as a "real concept" so I won't argue with that. @Liuxinyu970226: Do you have any suggestion on how to close this? The enWp disambig does a good work explaining the concept. IMHO Wikipedia would win a lot if wikipedia articles could also fallback to disambiguation page in another language. --Jagulin (talk) 12:38, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonathan Haas: The gymnasium (Q14092)/gymnasium (Q25616558) you merged recently were listed above, any reason why you didn't close that? Though it was a fairly harmless merge in this case, I think a more structural approach is needed for the set of sport venues.

I doubt that everything should be merged. Even if "gymnasium" in English is used broadly, even more broadly if summing up each article that now links to it, it could still be referring to slightly different concepts that should not be merged in WD (e.g. association football ball (Q12252328) and football codes (Q1081491)).

It's however a matter of how to define each concept clearly by adding rules rather than words. I now raised the topic at Project Sports.

I'd argue they're slightly different. A technical specification (Q20819677) is something you often define and write before you develop the thing, a data sheet (Q1172383) describes often measurements and details that you publish once you've finished manufacturing the thing and it often contains things that weren't necessarily specified. -- Jonathan Haas (talk) 08:16, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonathan Haas: I agree and enWp explains how they are different concepts, but the items are not very well specified so feel free to improve them. For your reference, there are some overlap and the "names" are being used for some aspects of the "other concept". For cars "technical specifications"[3] refer to the product data, examples like that explain the "aka data sheet". You use the word "specification" to mean "requirements" but coming from "specific" it fits on "data sheet" too, though I agree that in English it's not the usual way. In any case, there's no problem having several WD concepts in some language being used by same words. I haven't read the Wp links and I can't say if they are making the same distinction as you do and point to the correct item. --Jagulin (talk) 10:16, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

English Wikipedia describes Colt Canada C8 on the Colt Canada C7 page (treating it as a variant). But many other language versions (e.g. Polish Wikipedia) have separate pages for these two. There is an English page for Colt Canada C8, which redirects to C8 section of the C7 article. I think the C8 redirect should be set as the English equivalent of the C8 articles in other languages. Right now it's going to send people where they want to go (C8 part of the C7 article) and if the C8 ever gets its own separate article, there will be no need to change the language mapping as it will still point to the right article. --192.55.54.42 14:43, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are lots of variant recipes of course, calling for instant coffee for example, or rum, or the use of chocolate instead of cocoa powder, and so on, but the basic recipe is the same and arguably it's the same idea as chocolate salami except for the shape. --86.86.20.136 21:40, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Anahata (Q954938)/Sahasrara (Q2574521) edit

Items involved: Q954938^Talk, Q2574521^Talk

Status:

not resolved

Greetings. It seems that there are two pages in Portuguese wikipedia referring to the Crown Chakra (e.g. at the top of the head), and one of them is linked to the Anahata (Heart Chakra - which is something completely different) page in all other languages. Since in Portuguese the adjective for Crown is coronário, it seems that someone mistook it for the coronary artery, which is located at the heart, hence the confusion. The Portuguese page for Anahata (Q954938) should be either moved/merged to Sahasrara (Q2574521) or deleted in its entirety. Thanks in advance, Rafaelspellizzari (talk) 03:04, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

But then, English, Spanish, French, Croatian, Dutch, Polish, Serbo-Croatian and Slovak are also having both, are you asking these languages should also follow your idea? --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 04:11, 9 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply. In fact, all these languages have separate articles for each topic (chakra), and that's perfect. The issue I'm presenting is that Portuguese has an article talking about Anahata (Q2574521) grouped with all other languages' article for Sahasrara (Q954938)! besides having its own proper Q954938 article. Confusing, eh? Thing is, the Portuguese article for Q2574521 doesn't talk about Q2574521, hence it shouldn't be grouped with all other languages' Q2574521 articles, which in turn do adequately talk about that topic.

I haven't had much time to fully check out the two Wikidata items yet, but it seems that one of them regards the actual plant species (Eruca vesicaria) while the other is about the food item (arugula, rocket, rucola salad) for which the plant is used. –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 23:27, 10 October 2019 (UTC).[reply]

The Plant List treats subsp. sativa as a synonym of the species; I'd be inclined to merge, unless a case can be made for having the food product separate from the plant it is harvested from. Not sure offhand what language "arugula" is (Italian?), the English name is Garden Rocket. - MPF (talk) 23:40, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Side-note: there are several English common (and/or commercial) names. Garden Rocket is most common in the Commonwealth member states and Ireland. "Arugula" is known in American English since 1967. It has a Spanish ring to it but as you hint it stems from the Italian word "rucola" (from archaic "ruca") and is cognate to "rocket". –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 00:45, 11 October 2019 (UTC).[reply]

Synoonyms should NOT be marged. They have different authors and different publication dates, and they are needed as part of the history of a taxon. (And it is not always the case that authorities agree.) MargaretRDonald (talk) 05:12, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The articles es:Rúcula, da:Rucola and fi:Sinappikaali are about a vegetable derived from multiple (related) plant species, and should be linked to the new item (there may be articles in other languages that should be linked to a vegetable item; I haven't checked thoroughly) Plantdrew (talk) 17:11, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Both items are related to digital broadcasting. The first item Q2330048 is about the transition from analog broadcasting to digital broadcasting. The second item Q1224967 is basically about the same topic, but only has one interwiki link to the German Wikipedia. I think the latter item can be merged into the first one, but I'm not completely sure about that. Therefore I'd like to ask for your opinion.

The carboxyl group and the carboxyl acid are closely related, but they are not the same. The Wikipedia article Carboxyl group redirects to Carboxyl acid, thus it is not possible to use it as the Wikipedia link for Q909913.

One statement at "snake" ("group of organisms known by one particular common name" -> "Serpentes" indicates, that both objects were created purposely meaning different things, but later wrong articles have been added to one of them and most of the statements for both data objects are also identical. --Johannnes89 (talk) 09:17, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Should not be merged, because of different values at taxon name (P225). Lymantria (talk) 07:59, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Should not be merged and in fact each scientific name needs its own wikidata item as it is a taxon concept. All this points to the problem of common names which are frequently neither common nor unique.

There is a reason why humankind went to scientific names. The physical object (described by the wiki article) is only linked by the type and that is always particular to a specific taxon concept not half a dozen as given in  Microcarbo melanoleucos (Q783177).

Status:

This may not be an interwiki conflict, but the fr/es/cawp explanation of kokiriko (Q3051404) is about the instrument binzasara. Kokiriko actually refers to mere two pieces of bamboo stick like this. Binzasara is a type of sasara, which has more complex structure and some variant forms (Jawp article of binzasara (Q2904003) is not about binzasara but about sasara). Binzasara and kokiriko are often confused since they're both typically used in a Japanese famous folk song Kokiriko-bushi. In fact binzasara is also called kokiriko-zasara. --LT sfm (talk) 15:25, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Really? Q13147213 is about Ukraine while Q697800 about Poland. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 11:22, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There's a slight problem: in English and most other languages when people say "pierogi", they specifically mean Polish (or similar) dumplings. Meanwhile in Polish the term is used to describe any kind of dumplings. This is even visible in the descriptions at the top of pierogi (Q697800): English description refers to central/eastern Europe dish, while the Polish description is about the concept of dumplings in general and so it would be more fitting in dumpling (Q1854639). Similarly, the page "Pierogi" on Polish Wikipedia has a section for dumplings in Poland and another section for dumplings from abroad.
