Property proposal started as: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/Generic#statement_disputed_by I guess all additional parameters (page, chapter, etc) can go in the references section. We will be able to say things like: birthfollowed bybaptism ---time span until next event

We could create a new qualifier like ''contradicted by'' or ''disputed by''. The sourcs are a problem though as we can source only the totality of a claim, not only a qualifier of this claim, so we would have to source all the sources for the claim and it's disputation sources in the source

Hi, These sort of things could also be modeled with another statement and opposite properties. If there is one Statement with the claim Chopin -- creator_of -- Nr. 17 with multiple source (Kobylańska and others), another statement with the claim Chopin -- not_creator_of -- Nr. 17 with a source

Hoi, In the Netherlands it used to be that people were baptised as soon as possible after birth. The notion that he must have been born a few days earlier is not necessarily correct. Thanks, GerardM On 6 May 2014 17:18, Joe Filceolaire filceola...@gmail.com wrote: Having a property with

One alternative would be XX author *unknow value* with the disputer as a source. To express uncertainty we could also use a statement which says the author is *one of *the french painter in the years 1500 minus Leonardo, and create the appropriate class, although we do not have all the expressive

Hi, I'm having some cases where a work has been attributed to an author by a source, but the source itself says this attribution is dubious, or it is contesting a previous attributions as spurious. As I see it, the rank of the statement is not deprecated (in fact it is normal or even preferred),

David, I assume you are referring to books. The same is true for works of art. The reason why these statements are still valuable is because it is an attribution based on grounds determined by someone somewhere and based on that loose statement alone are therefore considered of interest. You

Hi Jane, No, I was not referring to books in particular, but of course it could be applied to books as well, and to works of art, and to many things in general. I agree that the statement is valuable and that it should be included, but I don't know how to represent it. Following your examples,

Hmm, I guess I am still not getting it - both of your examples wouldn't make it into one of my Wikipedia articles, and I would probably remove them from an existing article if I was working on it. If it's not factual enough for Wikipedia, then it's not factual enough for Wikidata. I recall a

Well in the case of attributions of artworks, these things tend to go back and forth a lot, so museums take a fairly pragmatic approach when they invent a pseudo-artist. They will attribute something like a previously attributed B to school of B or follower of B and sort it as B for all other
