Please do not remove outdated statements, such as what you did in revision diff 375981510. Leave them and mark them as a lower rank. I've added the URL back. 80.221.159.67 19:03, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
English-language descriptions[edit]
"De jure," while derived from Latin, is an accepted phrase in the English language, according to every English-language dictionary I have to hand (including Wiktionary). I've reinstated my edit to the description of State of Palestine (Q219060) including the phrase.
- @Skiasaurus: thanks for the detailed explanation; we can keep your modification. Cheers, Mwtoews (talk) 22:33, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
It seems both are Domino records, at least when I look at discogs:
- https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2004123039 the mentioned "Declaration of independence : the sound of Domino" matches https://www.discogs.com/master/46367
- https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2014141699 the mentioned "Junior Boys. Last exit" matches https://www.discogs.com/Junior-Boys-Last-Exit/master/69706
Both link to the same https://www.discogs.com/label/26465-Domino
So, shouldn't both LCAuth and VIAF records be added? --Wurgl (talk) 06:07, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Wurgl: Potentially, but be careful about linking "Domino Records", because that's not what the label is named. From their FAQ:
- kindly note we go by the names of ‘Domino’ or ‘Domino Recording Company’.
- This is because there are at least three other "Domino Records" that predate this company: Domino Records (Q56274207), Domino Records (Q19278424), Domino Records (Q56274210), and even more on Discogs. So is there an error with LoC's entries? I'm actually not too familiar with LoC, would be happy to take your lead if you are more familiar. Mwtoews (talk) 21:39, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
