Hi, I see the page for Google lists Mario Artero as the founder and CEO of Google. This is definitely not correct. What is the procedure for fixing this? I can't tell from the history page which edit added that. http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q95 Thanks, Ben -- about.me/benmccann

It was added before August. The best way to deal with it is probably to just manually replace the incorrect statement with a correct one :-) Adrian Raddatz On Mon, Jan 5, 2015 at 3:45 PM, Ben McCann <ben(a)benmccann.com> wrote:

When I click on the Mario Artero founder property value, I end up on Larry Page's page (sic), so there may be something more fundamental going on then simple vandalism. Tom

And when one clicks on "edit", what one sees is "Larry Page". It can't be changed into a correctly labelled linked. However, I removed the statement and added it again, and now it shows "Larry Page". Weird. AZ

that.

http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q95 When I click on the Mario Artero founder property value, I end up on Larry Page's page (sic), so there may be something more fundamental going on then simple vandalism.

And when one clicks on "edit", what one sees is "Larry Page". It can't be

changed into a correctly labelled linked. However, I removed the statement and added it again, and now it shows "Larry Page". Weird. So what happened is: someone vandalized the label on the Larry Page item. Then that was reverted. For some reason the cache of the Google item did not get purged however. I have seen this a few times now so we need to investigate. So next time you see it just other the page. Cheers Lydia

Ah mobile phones... Don't other the page. Purge it ;)
