Properties[edit]
Connecting properties[edit]
- Country
All places should have property country (P17) = United Kingdom (Q145) (i.e. not country (P17) = England (Q21))
- violations: Autolist - 137
- Administrative Territorial Entity hierarchy
- located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) / contains the administrative territorial entity (P150)
Items should normally only have a single value for located in the administrative territorial entity (P131), which should be strictly hierarchical.
- UK violations: query
tinyurl.com/pms68a6(items in administrative territorial entity of England (Q171634) tree) - 3107;tinyurl.com/pn8g9l3(all items) - 6656- related pairs:
tinyurl.com/zobt9bh(i.e. look only at cases where one is P131+ the other, so ignore 'part of' & historical statements.)
- related pairs:
- UK violations: query
P131 should only be used on items that are instances of geographic location (Q2221906) and subclasses -- ie not organisations, events, artworks etc
- UK violations: Autolist
Target values should be instances of administrative territorial entity (Q56061) and subclasses
- UK violations: query

- More
- part of (P361) / has part(s) (P527)
- contains settlement (P1383)
- applies to jurisdiction (P1001) / legislative body (P194) or executive body (P208) -- can be used for laws, organisations, etc for which P131 is not encouraged

- headquarters location (P159)
- capital (P36) -- also used for "seat of government" for smaller administrative units
