Motivation edit

Dutch equivalent of FindAGrave.com. A single-value-restraint might not be fitting since in the Netherlands it's very common to have multiple people share a grave site. The website does have a person ID: 2248305 is the ID for Jan de Haas (Q84432258) for the memorial 1438395. This isn't an ID that is retrievable from that memorial's HTML: one has to first look him up with the site's search capacity. His ID is 1347395 on the memorial 949281. As you can tell: the website doesn't actually respond by marking that person in the overview if you provide their specific ID. It's still an overview of the monument and no way to tell if you've actually got the right ID for the right person. Though uniqueness is a big plus, it's a distinction that is not possible to even check. 1Veertje (talk) 19:10, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
