Motivation

The history of the database goes back over 100 years. It is now hosted by the Senckenberg German Entomological Institute (Q472839) (Senckenberg Deutsches Entomologisches Institut, Müncheberg). Some of the entries are sparse, but on the other hand the synergy with the biographies on Wikispecies appears to be high. There are 37,000 entries and over 6,000 portraits. The database invites "corrections and supplementary information", and so I think Wikidata could collaborate here. Altogether this would seem to be a valuable scientific identifier.

Support. Would be very useful to cross-reference with the BHL Creator IDs (Wikidata:WikiProject BHL/Statistics:Creators), including matching names/items as yet unmatched to BHL creator ID (P4081). Jheald (talk) 18:11, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
