My favorite example? Mix’n’ match suggested a match between Giulio Baldigara (Q1010811) and Giulio Baldigara (DBI) which looked totally legitimate: these two individuals are both Italian architects from the 16th century with the same name, they were both born around the same years in the same city, they were both active in Hungary at the same time: strong indication that they are the same person, right? It turns out they are brothers and the full name of the person referenced in Wikidata is Giulio Cesare Baldigara (the least known in a family of architects). I unmatched the suggestion and flagged the DBI entry as non existing in Wikidata.
Hi dario, an interesting example. How did you determine these two are different persons?

DBI separately references three brothers: Giulio, Giulio Cesare and Ottavio and the entry suggested by MixNMatch is about Giulio. The Wikidata item was created from the Hungarian article which clearly refers to Giulio Cesare, but the WD label was created as Giulio, which resulted in the false positive.
