One of the pleasures of adding Wikidata identifiers is finding Qitems which need to be merged. Here 3 items were merged, and a Chinese and English page linked
Merging 3 Qitems due to reuse of Encyclopedia of Korea identifier

One of the pleasures of doing #Korean #Wikidata is finding and adding images such as this for "Ganghwa mudflats and black-faced spoonbill breeding grounds" wikidata.org/wiki/Q12583174 @wm_au @annreynolds988 @FrankPouncby @adzebill

@Tagishsimon kindly added coordinates for these #Korean fortresses to #Wikidata to give 340/366 #Qitems and this map. Just need to superimpose the 8 provinces and the routes of invasion in the #imjin wars. @wm_au @annreynolds988

mix-n-match.toolforge.org/#/… This catalog needs help. Korean speakers - use it directly. Others - use this query: w.wiki/7V6k which finds #Korean people with no encykorID, the #Qitem, leading to the #kowiki article and gives #hangul text to search.@wm_au @annreynolds988
