The use of hangingwall/footwall in place of underlies/overlies appears to be an error or nonconventional usage. Per sources, including USGS and Britannica, the terms hangingwall and footwall are used in discussing faults (above/below the fault plane) and orebodies (above/below an orebody or mine working).

@Vsmith: Thanks! I will change the English label of the properties. --Tobias1984 (talk) 13:30, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Is there merit in having this list in alphabetical order? Though odd (though formally correct) terms like the Kingdom of the Netherlands would still confuse (not sure where the 'united' bit comes from though). I'd been looking down the list to see what was in simply 'Netherlands'. Geopersona (talk) 18:56, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Geopersona: The next time I run the bot I will sort the lists. I think I used the worng item. I used Kingdom of the Netherlands (Q29999) instead of Netherlands (Q55). I will also correct that the next time. --Tobias1984 (talk) 19:26, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Vsmith, Geopersona: If you add importScriptURI("//www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=User:Magnus_Manske/wd_edit.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript"); to your commons.js (Mine is here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Tobias1984/common.js) then you can add statements directly when hovering over the table with the mouse. Clicking on "manually update table" after a few edits updates the table. --Tobias1984 (talk) 19:31, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply] 

SELECT * { ?item wdt:P360 wd:Q28021934 }
Try it!

@Tobias1984: Maybe you can make use of them: I made items for the various lists.

@Jura1: That is useful. Thanks! --Tobias1984 (talk) 17:49, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Tobias1984: BTW, can you check the label of sedimentary lithostratigraphic unit (Q28021934) and improve if needed. If wanted, I can add more aliases to the list (e.g. "list of geological formations in X")

Maybe list of sedimentary formations in the Netherlands (Q6638103) could be merged with list of sedimentary units in the Netherlands (Q28022279), but which term should be used for these lists?
