Extensive page clean-up needed. Compare Wikidata:WP EMEW/People/Identifiers
- Cf listing of external IDs found on items with Vision of Britain place ID (P3616), on rhs at Property talk:P3616/stats
Property talk pages ought to have detailed info on extraction progress, & any systematic issues. But may well not. Probably needs a dashboard, to check whether monitoring place, original datasets or scrapes accessible, etc.

- Good coverage (though not complete). Needs sanity checking -- issues such as Mortimers Cross, Herefordshire linked to Battle of Mortimer's Cross (Q620585) (because that's what the site linked to on Wikipedia). Perhaps as many as 2000 potentially anomalous. In some cases may have knocked-on to other external IDs.
- Not yet populated. Some items have coordinates. Hierarchy: hundred / parish / sub-parish / places / ... -- work down. Also, fast-track places with Saxton citations.
- Property proposal for secondary ID now approved {English Placenames MADS ID (P9200)
- Currently our items for Hundreds/Wapentakes are particularly weak or nonexistent. Final set should also be matched to Vision of Britain unit ID (P3615). QUERY: correct linkage between settlement and wapentake? located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) with end time (P582) ?? what end time?

- issue: a *huge* amount still just instance of (P31) = architectural structure (Q811979). And not well de-duplicated. Possible subsets: Grade I, II*, II buildings. Scheduled monuments. Churches. Monasteries (mostly done?). Bridges. Manor houses. ...?
- Valuable for manors, churches, religious houses, as well as parishes and settlements.
- Currently 2000 IDs, only a percentage of the possible matches, and at the moment only for settlements (Drawn from what had been matched at VoB).
- Would be nice to have the list behind their app. Additional property for VCH Numerical ID ?
- eg for monasteries (above) and manors (below)
- Reasonably well matched (?).
- ISSUE: currently linked to settlements, which may or may not be right. (?should be manors -- but then won't be cross-referenced. So perhaps both? People don't like that in external IDs, but might be acceptable)
- perhaps - ?perhaps for churches
- As noted by User:DrThneed, while considerably after the period, P8587 is an important fact for estates, and when put together with Legacies of British Slave-ownership person ID (P3023) and inheritance information may well relate to ownership in the study period.
