Wikidata entries[edit]

Both wikidata:Q82463722 and wikidata:Q25587890 refer to Monzur Hossain. Could some wikidata expert please merge them? - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 09:14, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jochen Burghardt: They are different persons. Please, anybody don't do this. This article's person died long ago (1968). And the image's person is still living person.S. M. Nazmus Shakib (talk) 11:12, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@S. M. Nazmus Shakib: Thanks for the information! Can you help me with cleaning up the confusion? wikidata:Q25587890 is connected to commons:Category:Monzur Hossain, which links to en:Ekushey Padak Awards (2000–09)#2002 (I guess this link is wrong), which in turn links to Monzur Hossain. Also, both are claimed to have received an Ekushey Padak award; I guess this is wrong, too.

To avoid future confusions, I suggest to find a distinguishing property and rename Monzur Hossain and commons:Category:Monzur Hossain accordingly; like Monzur Hossain (physician) and commons:Category:Monzur Hossain (xxx), where "xxx" should be replaced by the scientific area (I couldn't find out). Alternatively, we could rename to Monzur Hossain (born 1928) and commons:Category:Monzur Hossain (born 1957). - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 18:12, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jochen Burghardt: Though it was claimed in commons that image's person was Ekushey Padak recipient, I didn't find his name on Ekushey Padak list. His Bengali article does not claim that he is an Ekushey Padak recipient. Thanks for noticing. I have corrected on commons.S. M. Nazmus Shakib (talk) 18:38, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@S. M. Nazmus Shakib: Can you find out the scientific field of Monzur Hossain (born 1957) from the Bengali article? - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 19:00, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jochen Burghardt: Monzur Hossain (scientist) is working in the field of genetic engineering and plant reproduction.S. M. Nazmus Shakib (talk) 08:48, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@S. M. Nazmus Shakib: Thanks again! Would you agree to rename Monzur Hossain to Monzur Hossain (physician), and to rename commons:Category:Monzur Hossain to commons:Category:Monzur Hossain (geneticist)? - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 09:55, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jochen Burghardt: I agree. But, Monzur Hossain (scientist) can be renamed as Monzur Hossain (academic) as he is an academic of the University of Rajshahi. What do you think?S. M. Nazmus Shakib (talk) 10:23, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@S. M. Nazmus Shakib: At least on commons, scientists are considered a subclass of academics, cf. commons:Category:Academic disciplines and the discussion there; so "scientist" vs. "academic" wouldn't be a distinction. Therefore, I'd prefer to distinguish by scientific field (or by birth year). - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 16:54, 4 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
