And how about same person with different birth dates in different wikis?

e.g. Clarisse Yeung (Q24833347) and Clarisse Yeung (Q21565065), actually both are pointing to the same "Clarisse Yeung", but one says she was born in 1986, and another says 1987. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 11:26, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

@Jura1: Can you answer me about it? --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 01:42, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

User:Pasleim/projectmerge is labels based: User:Pasleim/projectmerge/zhwiki-zh yuewiki has the pair.

If the DOB was identical and had day-precision, it would be on User:Josve05a/dupes (items for living people with identical dates of birth and labels).

Doesn't help, as I'm too hard to verify the preferences on both articles due to Great Firewall (Q5370363).

Maybe users who edited both could help on it? @Meracritus, 圍棋一級, Hijk910, Tombus20032000, Wpcpey, Liu116: @Brianonly, Kameyou, Ilovesnsdsnsdsnsd, Yanheichu, Jason6698:? --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 23:49, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

If both items are about the same person, you can merge them. It's possible to have several DOBs. It's not necessary to figure out which date gets what rank. Here I added three dates.

Looks like we got to the bottom of it once more. Currently there are just:

• Can be merged: 0
• Sitelink conflicts: 1 (should disappear shortly)
• Sitelink conflicts, marked to merge: 1 (should disappear shortly)

Obviously, the lists of identified duplicates and virtual twins keep growing.

Thanks for your help!
