Motivation
[edit]I wanted to expand a biography of someone who served in the Canadian army during World War I. I was working on expanding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie_Horace_Thomas_Tams and Willie Horace Thomas Tams (Q21338560). I noticed a claim in the Dutch article nl:Willie_Horace_Thomas_Tams that the subject had served in the Canadian military during World War I, so I googled the person's name and found a listing in the Canadian Great War Project database at https://canadiangreatwarproject.com/person.php?pid=879804 I don't work for the operator of the database and I don't understand what types of data it contains, but I thought that it might be useful for Wikidata to link to it. The person ID is not the same as the regimental number. Eastmain (talk) 21:23, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
Discussion
[edit]- I have clarified that the property will mean "pid" only. Other IDs should have their own properties:
- lac: Wikidata:Property proposal/Personnel Records of the First World War (Library and Archives Canada) ID
- cvwm: Wikidata:Property proposal/Canadian Virtual War Memorial ID
- cwgc: CWGC person ID (P1908)

- Support An item for the Canadian Great War Project was needed so this property could link to it. I created it: Canadian Great War Project (Q126711458) AdamSeattle (talk) 17:23, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
