Please be careful. You left quite a mess when you merged a painting into a person with Henry Fetherstonhaugh (Q24260304). If you are unable to understand instance of (P31) then please do not use the merge function. Thanks. Jane023 (talk) 18:25, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your work in maintaining Wikidata. I have a small suggestion to improve your future work. If you notice that two items are duplicates, please merge them instead of blanking one of them as you did with the item Q112066412. External sites use Wikidata identifiers, so it is important that we preserve the chain of references. We do this by making one item a redirect for the other. In particular, item ids are intended to be a permanent identifier, so we never reuse them for another concept. See Help:Merge for more information on how to merge items, and consider installing the Merge Gadget. Thanks!  Bovlb (talk) 21:03, 20 May 2022 (UTC) --Bovlb (talk) 21:03, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
