Right now this bot: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:PreferentialBot watches statements like "population" that have multiple values with different time qualifiers but no current preference. What it doesn't currently do is to verify that the preferred one refers to the latest date. It probably shouldn't fix these cases (because there may be valid cause why the latest is not the best, e.g. some population estimates are more precise than others) but it can alert about it. This can be added if needed. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@wikimedia.org _______________________________________________ Wikidata mailing list Wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata
