Bad Cards [Archived]

[tom-james-watson]

This thread has now been archived as most of the reported cards have now been removed from the game. Please report any new issues on #41.

Q345 has „1. century BC“ as P569, the very exact date in the card doesn't really make sense, especially here:

[colognella]

+1 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q139464

[colognella]

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q321303 fixed rank already to a more realistic date, but "2. millenium" renders as "2000" on the card

[2e-asteroid]

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q60220 is another example: this was a really annoying way to lose a life.

[colognella]

now we have almost the whole holy family ;-)
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q128267

[colognella]

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q184742
fixed the 1. century to 1. decade (2-8), however, same issue

[colognella]

Gigabyte Technology, founded in 1986 according to Wikipedia but in 789 according to Wikidata

[brainwane]

Reported again just now.

[rodrigost23]

It's already fixed on Wikidata, but just showed up on Wikitrivia as 789 now.

[RandomWalker34567]

Yeah I was shocked. Taiwan didn't even exist in 789.

[Srhpkr]

I got this one too

[tom-james-watson]

Some from Twitter:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champagne

It doesn't seem to make sense to have a single year where Champagne was 'created' (and if it does, it's certainly not 1936 😅)

[colognella]

That's the date of the recognition as AOC. Interesting case of data modeling issue …

[Ordoviz]

• The cards about Siege of Jerusalem contain their date in the title
• David (Michelangelo) was not created in 2020.
• The island Skellig Michael was not created in 1821 (now fixed on Wikidata).

[barnoid]

Number 1,000,000 first published in 1250
Before that nobody knew what to do after 999,999

[hartman]

Was corrected in wikidata

[tom-james-watson]

It's worth noting that it has been at least 6 months since the current items that are in use on the site were generated. It's possible there are some bad cards that have since been fixed on wikidata already.

[colognella]

should we add them here anyway or just ignore them when we see it's obsolete? https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q213804&diff=1438223171&oldid=1438223076 is such a case.

[tom-james-watson]

If you see that the underlying data is fixed, I think it's still worth adding but then replying to the comment saying that it is already fixed. Even though it's fixed upstream I may want to temporarily remove the item from the game.

[tom-james-watson]

I've added a comment to the top post suggesting that if people fix the data they should leave a reply on the relevant comment.

[colognella]

fixed already: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q193159&diff=1397132505&oldid=1395236452

[jeresuikkila]

The title of George V was "Postage stamp designer"

[jeresuikkila]

For [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_%26_Order:_Special_Victims_Unit](Law & Order: Special Victims Unit), the card was titled only "Law"

[waxpancake]

It was set as 1900 in Wikidata, but should be 1969 according to the Wikipedia entry, so I corrected it here. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q486682

[tupelohoneyln]

Just got this one today.

[jeresuikkila]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Jerusalem_(1187) has the year as part of the title. I assume there are more titles like this.

[brainwane]

Yes: one example is “Scarface (1932 Film)”.

Suggested solution in #4

[rodrigost23]

Simon the Zealot.
Wikipedia and Wikidata say he was born in the 1st Century, there is no exact date. Both also say he died in 107. He certainly didn't die at age 7. Also, it's a biblical character and his date of birth might not be really determined.

[wgmyers]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Jung-hyun_(actor,_born_1990) has the date as part of the title

[rodrigost23]

[microsoftdogg]

The Forbidden City (Q80290) was constructed in 1420, not 1941; this has already been corrected on Wikidata.

[colognella]

My Spanish is non existing, but I think this card should be withdrawn … (fixed @ wikidata)

[shrclb]

Sorry I forgot to snag a screenshot, but Colt's Manufacturing Company (the firearms producer) came up with "founded" being the question, and the answer was "69". The actual answer is 1855: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colt%27s_Manufacturing_Company?wprov=sfla1

Apologies if formatting is wonky - I'm on mobile

[colognella]

"ended" not exactly here (not in Wikidata anymore), inception = 706

[colognella]

https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q82613&diff=1509024470&oldid=1509024330
Krakatoa did not „dissolve (end)“, fixed@wikidata already

[slidepoetry]

"Kingdom of the Isles" card gives date of creation of 900, but the wikipedia article linked says 849.

[Grawlexia]

"Jin Dynasty (266-420)" has date in title.

[Jesse-Grass]

Volume I (1867) Volume II and Volume III were published in 1885 and 1894, respectively

[jfrosello]

[bogs2k20]

[bogs2k20]

[novalis]

The Russian Alphabet was not created in 1918.

[AnxoDC]

Joseph of Arimatea was the person who gave his grave to Jesus of Nazareth, death in 30 AD. It’s impossible he was born in 100 AD
