Disentangle and expand

Disentangle and expand

Yesterday I spent some time distinguishing and expanding Wikidata on the various magazines named Edinburgh Review published over the past 280 years. There had been one portmanteau item but with a focus on the 19th century journal, and another purely about that journal, thus ostensibly a duplicate. So I thought to disentangle and link these using P527 and P361, then add further linking items carrying back to 1756 and forward to the past decade.

Going on from that, I had a look at Edinburgh-based publications using SPARQL. Capturing these in a Graph looks ok for these, as does a Timeline. Obviously a lot need to be added to Wikidata but this does give outliers such as short-lived magazines by Hogg and Stevenson.
