- @ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2: Your edit broke the submission as noted by Andy below. I have undone it. Gotitbro (talk) 16:04, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
{{O}}. the URL in the example, http://www.hoovers.com/company-information/cs/company-profile.vivaldi_technologies_as.776cc66357fe4df3.html, does not match the formatter URL, and the formatter URL does not work with the given example ID. The ID vivaldi_technologies_as.776cc66357fe4df3 may work. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:48, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- @Pigsonthewing: Thanks for checking it out. I am not much familiar with the formatting strings and regex, apologize for any mistakes. It would be really helpful if you can suggest a proper formatting for this. Gotitbro (talk) 06:06, 21 May 2018 (UTC) Fixed see comment above. Gotitbro (talk) 16:08, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Support now that the original proposal has been restored. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:23, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
D-U-N-S number (P2771) is also currently an identifier from D&B, added that to see also; struck the Apple part as it relates to the DUNS number not Hoovers. Gotitbro (talk) 06:09, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Question Thanks for your proposal, Gotitbro! Have you got the list of IDs that could be added with this property? In any case, do you expect to match them with the corresponding Wikidata items in the coming weeks? --abi án 10:56, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- @Abián:It does not exactly say how many IDs there are but from what I can see there are more than a million company profiles on Hoover's. Yes, I plan to use this property to link companies as I've done with Relationship Science organization ID (P5181). Gotitbro (talk) 12:28, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support. --abi án 19:34, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
