- Motivation
The British Museum place thesaurus has 45883 entries that are not coreferenced to anything in the world. I think they'd see it as a major win if the community helps them to coreference. Similar to British Museum person or institution ID (P1711). Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 15:17, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
