  • Query examples:
    • Apologies for both of the problematic queries ("MWAPI searches in wikidata about people described as slave traders by citizenship" in Weekly Summary #419 and "Monuments named after/commemorating/depicting slave traders" in Weekly Summary #420). The "MWAPI searches in wikidata about people described as slave traders by citizenship" in #419 lists any people with the word "slave" in a label, description or alias, among them several people who are not slave traders. The "Monuments named after/commemorating/depicting slave traders" in #420 incorrectly linked this query for enslaved people instead of this query for slavetraders.
