A few questions
[edit]- -Some publishers or creators seem to have collections that are held in different institutions (the US GPO for example has some publications held with archive.org, others in a Missouri library (I think from what I recall as I type this). I linked both items to the wikidata item for the US GPO, rather than to the wikidata item for archive.org for example. I assume we're indexing by the publisher of the books and not by the physical location where they're being held?
- -There are multiple entries for collections held within a same institution, for example Collection A, Collection B and Collection C in the New York Public Library System. Should we link to wikidata items by collection or by institution ? It would seem to be less clunky to link to a specific collection rather than link them all to the New York Public Library?
- - It would be easier if we could edit the table inside the table rather than having to edit the whole page (as when you add a category to an image on Commons, you can click on the + sign and a box opens up right on the page so you can save it, you don't have to edit the whole page using the mark-up language (by clicking on the "edit" tab at the top of the page)); I hope I have explained it clearly enough?
