The date of birth you entered for this person seems incorrect. I have tried to find the person in the mentioned source Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography (Q12912667) on Wikisource and Internet Archive, but I cannot tell that any of the Thomas Browns I've found there would be correct, nor what the date of birth should be.

You are correct on both counts. I believe this was intended to be an item for William Brown: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page:Appletons%27_Cyclop%C3%A6dia_of_American_Biography_(1900,_volume_1).djvu/440
Look at the bottom of this database report. I would fix these, but I can't be sure whether they should be removed, changed to 4-digit years, or deprecated, as I do not have access to the cited source.
Thanks. I'll double check the source and make any necessary corrections.
Hi Gamaliel. I would like to unifiy two different elements (Q123738636 and Q123139309) which, in fact, are the same [person]. How can I do that? Thanks in advance.
They look like they are different people based on the information I see there.
You're right, my mistake! I mean Q123738636 and Q57688537.
Those two are definitely the same! I went ahead and merged them. Help:Merge describes the process.
Hello, Long time ago you added some dates from Wkitree , but these dates never were on Wikitree profile - there was only year which correspond with other sources. You probably migt add similar incorrect dates to other people so please check your script.
Thank you, I'll take a look and see if I can figure out what went wrong.
Please reconsider batch adding English descriptions that do not comply with WD:D, especially if you could just use country of citizenship (P27) and occupation (P106) to create a meaningful description.
I'll be glad to do that, but keep in mind that many of these items do not contain those properties, nor any information besides basic relationships and dates. For example: Q122813898
Yeah, as a general rule, adding life dates in descriptions is somewhat contentious, especially if done in batch jobs, see Wikidata:Requests for comment/Use_of_dates_in_the_descriptions_of_items_regarding_humans (note that I have strong opinions about those descriptions but I do feel that the general sentiment is not to rock the boat one way or the other too much unless really necessary).
How did a dead woman give birth to a child? Anna Claypoole Peale and Mary Chambers should be alive at the same time, but the latest end value of Mary Chambers is 21 June 1759 and the earliest start value of Anna Claypoole Peale is 6 March 1791. You restored that error.
I've added the correct mother and an image of her.
I should have fixed it, instead of deleting it, but I was fixing a large number of the same error, and I didn't want to lose my place in the queue.
You made a series of edits like this one where you claimed a novel was a female writer. This cannot be correct, and you should review all your recent edits for this error, as you made it multiple times. --EncycloPetey (talk) 04:31, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
In this edit you identified a rap music producer as a woman writer described by a book about Victorian literature. --EncycloPetey (talk) 04:36, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
In this edit you identified a style of clothing as a woman writer. --EncycloPetey (talk) 04:37, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
In this edit you identified all of Irish poetry as a woman writer. --EncycloPetey (talk) 04:40, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for alerting me to my errors, I will fix my mistakes.
Hi Gamaliel,
if I'm reverting you I'm sorry for that and not doing this out of personal reasons. It is simply, that Forscher (Q1650915) is inappropriate term in German for the way it's used and Wissenschaftler (Q901) would have been a better choice.
Kind regards
I do not understand why you are removing ALL the descriptions when you object to only one of them. Why do you not remove only that one?
Bonjour Gamaliel,
effectivement https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?diff=1916274500&oldid=1882082203&title=Q15504361&diffmode=source# :)
mon edit provenait (sans voir l'élément) du fait que le lien ar a été victime d'un vandalisme... désolée (j'ajoute les images à partir de WD-Fist, donc sans voir les éléments, et en particulier les données de dates...
merci pour la rectif, que j'ai répercutée sur ar ;)
See: Wikidata:Administrators' noticeboard where I posted two weeks ago about a set of errors introduced by someone. I don't want to fix them, because there are likely more that went undetected by the error monitoring bot I watch. No one seems interested in looking into it. Search for Nuria2701 on that page. How can I bring more attention to the errors? See: Wikidata:Database reports/items with P569 greater than P570 for the search that detected the errors.
It is disappointing that no one has responded to this matter, which depending on the size of the set of edits, could be quite serious. I'll monitor that database report and fix what I can.
