Correct use of P241

Request date: 19 May 2019, by: Joshbaumgartner

Task description

For all items with both statements:

  1. instance of (P31)human (Q5)
  2. military branch (P241)artillery (Q64418)

Replace military branch (P241)artillery (Q64418) with military branch (P241)artillery (Q1116728)

Discussion

artillery (Q64418) refers to the equipment itself, while artillery (Q1116728) is the service branch which operates the equipment. For military branch (P241) it is only appropriate to use artillery (Q1116728) for military personnel who are members of the artillery branch. Several hundreds of imports from Wikis have been erroneously linked to artillery (Q64418) but should be linked to artillery (Q1116728) instead. Josh Baumgartner (talk) 07:24, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

@Joshbaumgartner: This seems doable. According to [1], there are 2,217 examples of items matching your description. Can you look at that query and verify it is the correct list of items to fix? Dominic (talk) 13:35, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
I went ahead and completed this task with a QuickStatements batch (13163), because I think I understood the issue correctly. Let me know if there are any issues. Dominic (talk) 01:47, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
