Interwiki links
[edit]There are currently two article trees in wikidata, d:Q129286 and d:Q112660052, which seem to focus on the same subject, the british rule in Idia 1858-1947. It seems that by chance new articles in different languages were hooked to one or another wikidata item, and that only the french wikipedia has two articles. That is weird. I would very much welcome, if the two wikdata items could be merged. ThomasPusch (talk) 19:58, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
More precisely: In the french wikipedia, appartenly d:Q129286, Raj britannique/British Raj, is about the rule of 1858-1947, d:Q2001966, Compagnie britannique des Indes orientales en Inde/Company rule in India or Company Raj about the rule of 1757-1858 (done by d:Q83164 Compagnie britannique des Indes orientales 1600-1858/East India Company 1600-1757), and d:Q112660052 Inde britannique/no english text is both 1757-1858 plus 1858-1947.
The english wikipedia order of three steps 1600-1757, then 1757-1858, then 1858-1947 to me makes more sense then the french wikipedia order of four steps 1600-1858, then 1757-1858, then 1757-1947, then 1858-1947. But the real problem is that there are much more wikipedia languages, which all count different, e.g. in german wikipedia there's Q83164 1600-1858, Q112660052 1858-1947, but no Q2001966 1757-1947 and no Q129286. And editors of other languages, also really big ones, tend to orientate to any other language they know especially well, and that multiplies the confusion.
Just in english/spanish/russian and more 10 non-european languages there's still d:Q14637172 Colonial India 1600-1947 about seven european nations wanting parts of India (which seems to be less needed for french, portuguese or german readers). But that's yet another counting, and new texts in french or any other language can easily be added.
I would say it would be best if the french editors could merge two of those four eras, which in fact were only three, and in the end have three steps 1600-1757, then 1757-1858, then 1858-1947. That is more an appeal to the french wikipedia than to the english, but I think it's good that also english speaking editors know about interwiki mismatches.
