Use of this property in the scope of history
[edit]
I hope I can approach this topic without opening a Pandora's box (Q937164) (oder auf Deutsch: ohne ein Fass aufzumachen), but I keep thinking about the use of this property in the scope of history. I'm sure that many Wikidatans are aware of the problems connected with the use of this property for historic persons. In short, many persons are said to have been citizens of states that didn't exist at the time. Example: Giovanni Boccaccio (Q1402) lived in the 14th century, five centuries before the state of Italy (Q38) existed. I'm no expert on Italian history, so I don't know how to fix this. all I know is that citizenship is a different thing than ethnicity (for that, we have ethnic group (P172)).
One complicated example I do know a bit about is Germany. In the 19th century, people living in the German Reich were citizens of their respective territories, e.g. the Kingdoms of Saxony, Bavarias, Württemberg, Prussia, Hannover, not to speak of all the small duchies. When we go back further, it gets more particular and way more complicated. For simplicity's sake, let's look forward. On July 22, 1913, citizens of states within the German Reich were additionally declared citizens of the Reich itself. This meant that if you were a citizen of Prussia at the time, you automatically became 'Reichsangehöriger'. This 'double citizenship' (though a legal scholar might disagree with the term) remained until Februar 5, 1934, when Nazi legislation dissolved former citizenships of particular states. Also, after the annexation of Austria in 1938, on Juli 3 all Austrian citizens were declared German citizens (deutsche Staatsbürger).
After World War II, it gets more complicated. After the foundation of the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic, the former saw all citizens living in the GDR as German citizens, while on February 20, 1967 the GDR declared all of its citizens 'citizens of the GDR'. So when I was born, I was considered a citizen of the GDR by the GDR and a German citizen by the FRG. The confusion ended on October 3, 1990, when the FRG incorporated the GDR into itself.
Other legal concerns aside, the citizenship of persons on Wikidata should be reviewed according to the time they lived. When can, I think, argue, that every person considered a 'Reichsangehöriger' since 1913 can be called a "German citizen" and rendered as such. For people living in the GDR, we could try looking for the places they lived (or died) in the time between 1967 and 1990 to determine if they were likely to have been GDR citizens.
What we should do with the citizens of particular German states before 1934 (especially before 1913), is another matter.
And then there are innumerable other cases in other parts of the world, but I'll leave that to people who are familiar with them. Jonathan Groß (talk) 09:47, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

- Another point is that some of labels in use for some of the former countries might not be suitable in conjunction with this property. "citizen of Weimar Republic" sounds like a city-state. Maybe it would need a dedicated item with a label different from the one for the period in history. --- Jura 12:15, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Jura1, you made me smile with your "Weimar republic nationality" words, those who know a little history know it's about Germany before the Nazis. Its reminds me from the discussion I'm having about Estonia (Q191) established 1991 (vs Interwar Estonia (Q2174038) established 1918)... Baltic countries generally consider being in a continuity row the same as they were in 1918... It still startles me as there has been a physical disappearance of them in 1940... More generally speaking, has anyone proposed to make a new nationality property alike P27 but only with items such as Estonians (Q1147273) // French (Q121842), not the country in themselves ? So that it would be for instance more easier to tell that Karl Marx (Q9061) was "actually" Germans (Q42884) instead of searching P27 the good then existing country (which can lead to absurdities such as Q16403221#P27 born and deceased whils Estonia did not exist at all and in pratice).

Naturalization
[edit]- @Jonathan Groß, Jura1: : good points ; somebody raise a similar question today on the french chat (Wikidata:Bistro) about a painter from Netherlands and who got naturalised in France in 1547 (Corneille de Lyon (Q720941)). I suggested to put the claim like this :
statement is subject of (P805)
start time (P580)
- Does it seem good to you? How can it be improved? (maybe with more precise or other qualifiers).
- Cdlt, VIGNERON (talk) 15:22, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
- "start time" seems fine. "Subject of" would generally lead to an item about the nationality of this person. Maybe there is a better one than "Determination method"? --- Jura 15:35, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
subproperty of country?
[edit]The country (P17) property means "located in country", not "is from country". In fact country (P17) is a subproperty of location (P276). Therefore, this property should not be a subproperty of country. (If someone is a citizen of a country, it doesn't mean he/she is located in that country.) I propose to remove subproperty of country (or change to another). Jefft0 (talk) 17:32, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
- @Jefft0: this property was add by Filceolaire (Special:Diff/223221491). I don't think that country (P17) really means « located in country ». The english description of P17 is « sovereign state of this item » wich seems rather consistent with description of P27 : « the object is a country that recognizes the subject as its citizen ». I think we should keep it. Cdlt, VIGNERON (talk) 14:53, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
It seems we have around 1000 items with a country of citizenship (P27) statelessness (Q223050) (query). That's not a valid country and the intended meaning seems to be the same as country of citizenship (P27) novalue. Is there any reason why they shouldn't be changed to country of citizenship (P27) novalue? - Nikki (talk) 14:55, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
- You can't add statements and sitelinks on "novalue". Are there cases where the current solution is problematic?
--- Jura 15:03, 5 November 2016 (UTC)- I'm not asking whether Q233050 is correct, because it isn't (nobody is a citizen of "statelessness", even if humans can figure out the intended meaning). It is not the "current solution" either, there are plenty of items correctly using novalue. I only wanted to know whether novalue could mean anything other than statelessness.
- Q233050 will continue to exist either way, so you can continue to add statements and sitelinks to it either way. If the link between novalue and Q233050 is so important, that does not mean we should abuse the data model and use Q233050 instead of novalue, it means we should find a proper generic way to express what novalue means which can be used for any property. For example, a new property "novalue defined as" to be used on properties would allow us to create a statement like P27 "novalue defined as" Q233050.
- - Nikki (talk) 18:19, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
- It seems that the label of this property was originally 'nationality', of 'citizenship'. In that way, statelessness is much more meaningful than 'no value', since the situation of being stateless often produces many problems in real life. There are even treaties about that problem. The solution which Nikki suggests (making a connection between novalue and Q233050 with a property-property for P27) is interesting though, I hope that works out. In that case, infoboxes etc. could still whow 'stateless' (or the same term in another language) based on 'novalue' here. Bever (talk) 00:49, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- I found that Joseph Brodsky has now both kinds of values "novalue" as well as statelessness. The problem with "novalue" is invisiblity in standard SPARQL query:
- Items used: Joseph Brodsky (Q862)

- Properties used: country of citizenship (P27)

SELECT ?citizenship ?citizenshipLabel WHERE {
wd:Q862 wdt:P27 ?citizenship.

Yes, there are people who have no citizenship in legal way. And if this statement is about citizenship then stateless is valid value. Taz (talk) 20:07, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

- currently the one-off constraint seems to need to explicitly enumerate every country or former country. Is there a way we can adjust the constraint to be an instance of any subclass of country (Q6256) (which would then also include historical country (Q3024240)) --Oravrattas (talk) 07:38, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
In our language (hungarian) this statement refer to citizenship, not meaning to which country the person "belong" or where he was born. But this is nonsense in cases of historical figures who lived before forming of this legal status in country which they lived. Taz (talk) 20:03, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
There is the ongoing Wikidata:Property proposal/Nationality perhaps tackling some of the problems above. --Marsupium (talk) 19:11, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
Permit "proposed country"
[edit]The constraint with this property currently does not permit instances of proposed country (Q28864179). It should because individuals should be able to identify with the citizenship of their choice even in the absence of external recognition. Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:55, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
Multiple UK values - reality check pls
[edit]I've done an exercise to amend P27 values for people from the UK, along the lines of ensuring that all of the flavours of UK the person was a citizen of, are represented in their record. Some of those flavours are:
- Q145 United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland 12 April 1927 -
- Q174193 United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland 1 January 1801 - 12 April 1927
- Q161885 Kingdom of Great Britain 1 May 1707 –1801
- Q179876 Kingdom of England
Thus for a person born in 1900 and expiring in 1950, I'm giving them two values: Q145 and Q174193 ... and I'm working on adding PQs such as end date and end cause - e.g. https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q12285904&type=revision&diff=712129483&oldid=712088876
User:Pierrette13 has announced that they do not see the sense in this, and has reverted a couple of my edits. See talk. As far as I understand, Pierrette13 objects that the 1927 change from United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland to United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a matter of legal form only (Gtranslate: "In my opinion, it can not be said for the same person that she comes from the United Kingdom and that she comes from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, that makes no sense, especially since the question nationality, and not the legal form of the country.")
My view is that our 1900-1950 person was a citizen of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, when a state of that name existed. They were also a citizen of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland when a state of that name existed. My use case is a wish to query wikidata for people who were a citizen of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and find our person; and to query wikidata for people who were a citizen of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and find our person. If the person's record does not contain both values, then that query can only be done inferentially by looking at date of birth.
Is there / what is the consensus on P27 carrying multiple UK values? @Pierrette13: --Tagishsimon (talk) 22:23, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
- The article en:United Kingdom is sitelinked to United Kingdom (Q145), but as far as I can see the history of the article doesn't start at 1927, and the article doesn't even mention any change in 1927. I suggest changing the inception on United Kingdom (Q145) to recognize the longer period of the state's existence, even if it has changed over time. Then no multiple citizenships are necessary just because the form of the state changed a bit. Ghouston (talk) 00:26, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
- It's probably worth saying that wikidata items are defined by their properties, not their sitelinks. And you're placing quite a lot of dependence on an article that seems to know nothing of the w:en:Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act 1927, which established the naming of the state described by Q145. I'm kinda understanding your response to say "even though a succession of states and their start and end dates can be defined - e.g. in Q145, Q174193, Q161885, Q179876 - we should instead have an overarching Generic UK item. And instead of making people citizens of the state they were a citizen of, we make them a citizen of the (made up) Generic UK? Is that really what you mean? And if so, does that hold for only the first two states - United Kingdom (Q145) & United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (Q174193) or, as the en.wiki article goes further back, are you suggesting wrapping Kingdom of GB, and Kingdom of England citizenships into the generic UK? --Tagishsimon (talk) 04:49, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'd say there needs to be a generic UK item to link with the Wikipedia articles, and since they are already linked with United Kingdom (Q145), that's probably the right item. How far back to go, I don't know. In most cases I'd expect there's enough continuity at each change that a citizen (subject) retains their status, so it doesn't really make sense to talk about a new citizenship.

- country of citizenship (P27) has been kicked backwards and forwards a lot, as to whether it should be read narrowly as connecting somebody to a particular state that existed in their lifetime, or should be read more widely to allow a painter to be designated eg French or Italian or Flemish at a time when those states may not have existed in their current form, or even (Flemish) not necessarily existed as independent states granting 'citizenship' at all. I have always found the whole area a minefield, that I wish somebody would definitively clean up, and have never known what value to give a P27 statement for somebody born before 1900, so confess that as a result I have left it blank for somebody else to add, leaving the decision to them. Pinging @Multichill, Andrew Gray: who have both at times had thoughts or suggestions in this area. Jheald (talk) 09:04, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
- I also stopped adding country of citizenship (P27). We currently don't have a proper way to model the connection of a historical person with a contemporary country. Probably easiest to show with examples:
- Rembrandt (Q5598) should have some sort of link with Netherlands (Q55)
- Peter Paul Rubens (Q5599) should have some sort of link with Belgium (Q31)
- Of course you run into the same problem for England and the UK. This problem needs to be solved before doing any large scale editing. Multichill (talk) 19:33, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
- It's not easy. Australian citizenship didn't exist before 1949, yet Australia as a federation has existed since 1901 and the term "Australian" was in use in the 19th century. To say that the United Kingdom was created in 1927 or the Netherlands perhaps in 1815 or 1945 or China in 1949 is to ignore much of the history of these countries as states. Ghouston (talk) 01:38, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
- A German state has existed for quite a while. It's boundaries, name and form of government have changed over time, but does it make sense to speak of separate citizenships for Weimar Republic (Q41304), Nazi Germany (Q7318), West Germany (Q713750) and Germany (Q183)?

- As Jheald says, I made some notes on it earlier in the year (building on the Wales/Australia discussions), with the hope that we could have a broad discussion about the best way forward - but it's a really complex issue and it's been really hard to pull it all together clearly. I'll try and find some more time to work on it since the problem certainly won't go away... Andrew Gray (talk) 20:54, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
- I also stopped adding country of citizenship (P27). We currently don't have a proper way to model the connection of a historical person with a contemporary country. Probably easiest to show with examples:
- See also Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/2020/02#UK_1922_or_1927?. Ghouston (talk) 01:28, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- What I got from that discussion was that a) Wikipedia typically has a separate article for a country whenever it changes name, but usually not in other cases like change in territory or constitution, and these separate items then get inherited by Wikidata b) in international law/diplomacy, it's generally understood when a country is considered a "continuing state" c) the UK was considered a "continuing state" in the 1920s when the Irish Free State obtained independence, but Wikipedia still has a separate article for the UK under its old name. But that doesn't mean we have to consider the corresponding Wikidata item to be a separate country; it can be an historical period of the main item instead. Ghouston (talk) 01:39, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- I have read all you were saying, I'm coming here since I've had a debate on something that was before obvious for me about Estonia here. My two cents :
- I am starting to think there should no longer countries in themselves into the country of citizenship (P27). But more items like Estonians (Q1147273) rather than the country/regime/constitution that have/had specific start and end time. Then, if someone would like to query French, he would not look into France (Q142), French Third Republic (Q70802) etc but more with French (Q121842), and would cope more easily with their dates (consistency dates checks).
- Ghouston (talk • contribs • logs), you said something interesting about Australia before 1947. The then australian on their passports, which country was labelled on it? Bouzinac 💬●✒️●💛 20:25, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
- Separate items for citizenships and nationalities have been proposed previously. Perhaps it would help. The term "Australian" for people living in Australia was already used in the 19th century, before Australia had even been federated as a state, e.g., [1]. According to [2], Australia started issuing passports after federation, and didn't even restrict it to British subjects until 1938, but it seems that passports were not used much prior to WW1, and there was a more flexible attitude to nationality.

- @Jura1: It’s the opposite of meaningless, it has a meaning defined in the Wikibase data model. It’s exactly the right meaning here : see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/DataModel#PropertyNoValueSnak and it’s consistent in all of Wikidata : we want to emphasize that the person has no country of citizenship at that period. This would be a shame to make an exception (a lot of exception actually, see the example of the political party non-membership) in our data model when it’s handled by design in the underlying data model. author TomT0m / talk page 09:31, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

- @Sjoerddebruin: It’s no more logical, it’s not a « cause ». It’s a logical tautology : by definition, a countryless person is a person which has no country of citizenship, and conversely. For « cause » see Help:Modeling causes, it’s intended to reflect the sequence of events that lead to a state of the world : einstein became countryless for some reason, probably because he was excluded from the citizenship by the authorities of Germany, or because he willingly rejected his citizenship. There is no causal relationship between « having no country of citizenship » and « beeing countryless », it’s just exactly the same thing said in two different manner, a redundancy. author TomT0m / talk page 10:01, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

Republic/Kindom of Italy and other similar entity with P27 that changes in hisory
[edit]:Hello, I think that this point should be discussed on Property talk:P27, because, as far as I know, what happened in Italy in 1946 also happened many times in many other countries. In France, we changed from Kingdom to Republic to Empire to Kingdom to another Kingdom to Republic to Empire to Republic in less than a century between 1789 and 1876, but Victor Hugo only had one country of citizenship, France. The country does not change when the political Constitution changes. (Of course that was different before 1860, when Italy was not a unified political entity yet.) Seudo (talk) 16:15, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
- You are right, I think I oversimplified the situation taking in consideration only the political history of Italy, properties should have consistency wherever they are applied. Just a recap... And I have questions : ) Essentially from the moment unity in a political entity is achieved P27 should be uniformed. It's ok the distinction before/after 1860 (in Italy, obvs) but the transition from kingodm to republic should be simplified. Is it for the sake of efficient querying? What if I need to query, for ex., all the people for specific profession during the kingdom. (I answer myself, I should get better at sparql-ing)... --Divudi85 (talk) 18:16, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

From Wikidata:Project chat/Archive/2014/05#Country of citizenship: The cititzenship property is quite useless, it could be removed. I tend to agree with these opinions.

- @Jahl de Vautban: Thanks so much for pointing out the two entities: Cisleithania (Q533534) and Kingdom of Hungary (Q25395037) for the name entities that could be decidedly determined. I suppose since his birth place was in Austria, then Cisleithania (Q533534) could be used as the country of his citizenship. Worse case scenario, no citizenship for entities that cannot be determined. Much appreciated your time. jshieh (talk) 20:12, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
I suggest specifying Denmark (Q35) as an invalid value for country of citizenship (P27) using a none-of constraint (Q52558054).
Citizenship is issued by the Kingdom, not by “mainland Denmark”, Farao Islands or Greenland respectively (see e.g. [4]). People are Danish citizens with equal status no matter which of the three parts of the kingdom they come from.
You can request a Greenlandic passport, but this only affects the language used in the physical passport (see [5]). It does not affect the citizenship, and generally it is not public information which variant a person has requested (or whether they even own a physical passport at all).
Kingdom of Denmark (Q756617) is currently only used with country of citizenship (P27) on 75 items, while Denmark (Q35) is used on thousands of items. All those should be migrated to use Kingdom of Denmark (Q756617) instead. --C960657 (talk) 19:34, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
- Faeroese and Greenlandic people do not have European Union civil rights[1]. Bouzinac 💬●✒️●💛 22:08, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
- True. But I don't think you can deduce whether a person has full EU citizen rights based on P27 alone (you need to consider at least P551 also). If a Danish citizen living in Copenhagen moves to Thorshavn, she will loose her EU citizen rights (if I understand the rules correctly), but her citizenship is unchanged. I don't think updating P27 in this event would be appropriate. Similarly, if a Danish citizen moves to Australia, she will loose some EU citizen rights, e.g. the right to vote in elections to the Danish and the European Parliament (with some exceptions), but her citizenship is unchanged. So I don't think the issue about EU citizenship is relevant for my proposal. --C960657 (talk) 15:53, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Reading that page ,en:Danish passport, it is all the more confusing as it would seem to be possible to choose between a Danish +EU passport or a Faroe without EU passport, don't know if there is specific conditions to obtaining one or the other.

- According to en:Right_of_abode_in_Hong_Kong, “Hong Kong does not have its own nationality law and natural-born residents are generally Chinese citizens”. There are probably other countries, e.g. some disputed territories, where the situation is less clear. We will have to deal with those on a case-by-case basis.

They define nationality as the legal bond between an individual and a State, and “citizenship” as the set of rights and duties that individuals have by virtue of their full membership within a State. In international law, 'nationality' is never used to define ethnicity. Frenchl (talk) 20:15, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Please read the document you linked yourself:
- Your definition is indeed mentioned but not as a universally accepted definition but rather an opinion: (Some authors argue …)
- Nationality is used “more often” not “always” in international law – and the distinction is even muddier in national law: Although nationality is the term more often used in international law, at the national level, both the terms nationality and citizenship are used, sometimes with different meanings.
- Nationality can mean ethnicity: Nationality is also one of the grounds for persecution in the definition of a refugee. In this respect, it should be broadly interpreted to not only cover citizenship but also “membership of an ethnic or linguistic group”

Removing notion of legality from this property
[edit]I looked at two previous attempts to create a nationality property, and both times it's failed partly because not enough people commenting saw a difference between what the proposed property would do and what country of citizenship (P27) and ethnic group (P172) do. I still feel uncomfortable with either country of citizenship (P27) and ethnic group (P172) in many circumstances because of the notion of legality for this property (country of citizenship (P27)) and conflation of a national demonym and ethnicity in the other (ethnic group (P172)).
I would use country of citizenship (P27) more often if we could remove the implication that this should be tied to a legal status. The alternate label of "(legal) nationality" and this property's description that says "country that recognizes the subject as its citizen" imply that this is a legal status, even though no constraints exist on the property to enforce this. Could we could remove the "(legal)" from the alt label "(legal) nationality" and change the description to something like "country that has the subject as its citizen regardless of legal status" to encourage more people to use it?
This would encourage more use of country of citizenship (P27) when someone is known as an American or British or South African, for example, but their legal status irrelevant to or challenges that identity (e.g. long time visa holders and undocumented folks). Also, these aren't ethnicities, so I don't use country of citizenship (P27) (though many do). Another situation this would help in is when people's ethnicities, nationalities, and country of citizenship may be different. In the case of Aysa Hakimjan (Q105871598), no references are given to confirm Aysa's / Aisa's legal status as having been a Russian or Finnish citizen. Aysa is ethnically Tatar, immigrated to Finland at age 20/21, and is known as a "Finnish Tatar artist." Aysa's Wikidata does list both Russian Federation and Finland as country of citizenship (P27), but I personally would feel uncomfortable adding these statements because of the implication of legal status, which may be untrue, difficult to confirm, or irrelevant to their defacto citizenship or identity. Sonoet2 (talk) 15:32, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- Most of times, "citizen" (or its equivalent terms in many, if not most languages, including French, Spanish and Italian) implies a legal status, so I don't think that would solve anything. Also, I don't think there is a point in encouraging people to use more this property, it appears that this property is widely deployed along wikidata, it has been almost automatically added on a large scale (though it's probable in some cases it is legally not accurate, strictly speaking). I don't think a solution is to remove the legal question from the definition, without it would become a meaningless «catch-all» category. Property:P551 seems the correct property for people living somewhere without having legal citizenship (or if there is a serious doubt about it).
- Though, I understand the problem you're pointing out (and there is actually a similar issue about 'native language' : in most cases impossible to confirm and in many cases arguable or wrong). A better solution may be to require a reference for the statement. In cases where the statement is reasonnably doubtful and unconfirmed, it could be removed and replaced with more accurate property like the residence. CaféBuzz (talk) 06:38, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
- I don’t think we need to encourage the use of country of citizenship (P27), it’s already used far too liberally. The usage of country of citizenship (P27) should in principle be restricted to legal citizenship within the notion of the modern Nation state (i. e. after 1648/1815). It is true that Wikidata lacks a „catch-all category“ for everything that somehow feels American, Chinese or Polish but the main reason for that is the perceived impossibility to model and source such a property. See also Wikidata:Nationality.
- As for Aysa Hakimjan (Q105871598): I added a (sub-par) reference for his Finnish citizenship. The ethnic group (P172) statement is currently deprecated. I don’t know if “Finnish Tatar“ ethnicity is a thing but if it is, it’s probably not too hard to find a reliable source for that statement. I don’t see a big problem in this case. --Emu (talk) 11:33, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
- I support the creation of a nationality property as a legal identification. Frenchl (talk) 18:41, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- How would you define the concept of nationality vs. the concept of citizenship? In German language, “Nationalität” has all sorts of meanings but one of them is “Staatsbürgerschaft“. --Emu (talk) 19:54, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Maybe because Staatsbürgerschaft is citizenship. Nationality is a legal identification establishing the person as a national, of a sovereign state. It is acquried at birth through jus sanguinis or jus soli, or after birth through naturalization. Citizenship is the ability of that individual to take part in the civil and political life of a state. Frenchl (talk) 20:09, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Okay, let’s say we accept this distinction – what would that mean for Wikidata? --Emu (talk) 20:55, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- A new property with Nationality -> French nationality for example. Frenchl (talk) 21:17, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- So we would have two statements:
- What would be the point of this? --Emu (talk) 21:41, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- The point of this is that 15 Millions French nationals are not French citizens. For example, this French footballer is not a French citizen, because he is a minor. So there is an error on Wikidata. And actually no one in France says Macron is of French citizenship. We say he holds French nationality.
- We can't pretend that the concept of nationality doesn't exist when the Article 15 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that "Everyone has the right to a nationality".
- Wikidata is like Wikipedia: biased in favour of the Anglo-Saxon vision of the concept of nationality. This needs to change. Frenchl (talk) 22:04, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Also, the name "Country of citizenship" is an error because people can have European Union citizenship, and last time I checked, the EU was not a country. It's also an error because people can have New Caledonian citizenship, and yet New Caledonia is not a country. Frenchl (talk) 22:16, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Could it be that you just want to change the French label of this property from pays de citoyenneté to nationalité? I don't speak French so I can’t comment on whether this would be a good idea but it sure seems like your understanding of nationalité is pretty much what the property at hand wants to describe. (P.S.: EU citizenship is called citizenship for – well, basically marketing reasons, it isn’t considered to be a real citizenship) --Emu (talk) 22:36, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- No, as I told you, citoyenneté is not the same as nationalité, and nationalité is not the translation for citizenship. We need two properties. Citizenship is citoyenneté and nationality is nationalité. I've spent a lot of time on the subject, I've read a lot and I've looked at how things are done in many countries, I've taken on board the opinions of people who have spent weeks working on Wikipedia articles on nationality law, and I'm sure of that.

- I'm sorry but Wikidata is an international and thus multilingual project. And this is not a specific understanding of those words, this is the majority use in international law, and the choice of the United Nations. I will of course propose a new property.

Frenchl (talk) 23:02, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Could it be that you just want to change the French label of this property from pays de citoyenneté to nationalité? I don't speak French so I can’t comment on whether this would be a good idea but it sure seems like your understanding of nationalité is pretty much what the property at hand wants to describe. (P.S.: EU citizenship is called citizenship for – well, basically marketing reasons, it isn’t considered to be a real citizenship) --Emu (talk) 22:36, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Also, the name "Country of citizenship" is an error because people can have European Union citizenship, and last time I checked, the EU was not a country. It's also an error because people can have New Caledonian citizenship, and yet New Caledonia is not a country. Frenchl (talk) 22:16, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- A new property with Nationality -> French nationality for example. Frenchl (talk) 21:17, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Okay, let’s say we accept this distinction – what would that mean for Wikidata? --Emu (talk) 20:55, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Maybe because Staatsbürgerschaft is citizenship. Nationality is a legal identification establishing the person as a national, of a sovereign state. It is acquried at birth through jus sanguinis or jus soli, or after birth through naturalization. Citizenship is the ability of that individual to take part in the civil and political life of a state. Frenchl (talk) 20:09, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- How would you define the concept of nationality vs. the concept of citizenship? In German language, “Nationalität” has all sorts of meanings but one of them is “Staatsbürgerschaft“. --Emu (talk) 19:54, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- I support the creation of a nationality property as a legal identification. Frenchl (talk) 18:41, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Puerto Rico
[edit]We have stumbled upon this restriction and I like to state a couple of issues: (read wikipedia for additional info)
- People born before April 11, 1899 were never given US "nationality".
- Sometimes people born in colonies are described as nationals of their colony, not the metropoli. At Wikidata I've seen both ways: the dividing line is fuzzy and from what I've seen, (in Latin American nationals) the more close in time or action to the Independence process, the more likely is someone to be described as a national of their colony. I'm sure we won't have any reference for >99% of such nationality statements.
- (I don't know anything about Guam or American Samoa) Puerto Ricans has a distinctive nationality with a special legal status and different rights. It's not exactly the same as US natinonailty.
- Personally I reject colonial notions of nationality, and I don't think we at Wikidata should adscribe, without proper discussion, to such notions.
Ignacio Rodríguez (talk) 15:51, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- country of citizenship (P27) is often used to convey vibes about the identity of a person. Such statements should be deleted or – if they come with proper sources – deprecated. The property is to be used exclusively for citizenship as a legal concept within the modern nation state. It’s not about “being described” and it’s not about nationality. The en.wp article seems to be both verbose and vague to say the least but I think the bottom line is that Puerto Ricans are American citizens in the sense of country of citizenship (P27). --Emu (talk) 18:00, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- Funny that you say that it's not about nationality, when even one of the english aliases of P27 are "national of" and the name or alias of the property in most of the languages I can recognize uses some form of "nationality". This heterogeneity should show you that not everyone here agrees with the notion of "citizenship as a legal concept within the modern nation state". Besides, without a certificate you cannot properly assert the citizenship as a legal concept. Most of the claims on this property shoulld be deleted.
- Also you didn't answer what to do about people born in Puerto Rico before April 11, 1899. Currently Wikidata soft restricts putting Puerto Rico, and even a bot changes it to United States (which is factually wrong)
- And third, I don't know when we decided to deprecate non-modern concepts of nationality and adscribe exclusively to said colonial anglosaxon notions. (I know we are barbaric nations with primitve understanding of modern nation state building such as the countries in Central Europe, very stable and not prone to war, annexation and such, but our primitive notions should be reflected in this project as well) Ignacio Rodríguez (talk) 13:42, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- And, as people has written here before me, citizenship is a different concept. To be consistent with the status quo I propose we then run a bot to delete country of citizenship (P27) from every woman that died before her country gave her full citizenship. Also from all children and people that died before adulthood. Ignacio Rodríguez (talk) 13:51, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- “Nationality” has many meanings in the English language, see this previous discussion. For this reason, country of citizenship (P27) was specifically renamed from “nationality” to “country of citizenship” during the |property proposal process to make sure that this property just refers to nationality in the purely legal sense, i. e. citizenship. Numerous proposals to add another “nationality” property have failed and for good reasons as nobody has managed to come up with a modeling and sourcing concept yet.
- Besides, without a certificate you cannot properly assert the citizenship as a legal concept Doesn’t matter, Wikidata isn’t about the truth, it’s about statements with verifiable sources.
- Also you didn't answer what to do about people born in Puerto Rico before April 11, 1899. Depends. If they are Spanish or American citizens, a corresponding statement should be added (or retained). If they are not, it shouldn’t. If I understand the article you provided correctly, there has never been a Puerto Rican citizenship (in the sense of country of citizenship (P27)) as Puerto Rico has never been a sovereign country and has never been part of a sovereign country that defers citizenship to subnational entities.
- To be consistent with the status quo I propose we then run a bot to delete country of citizenship (P27) from every woman that died before her country gave her full citizenship. Also from all children and people that died before adulthood Again, this seems to be some personal interpretation on the basis of some statutes of some countries. I fail to see why this should influence Wikidata’s modeling.
- As for the rest of your analysis, I think you are barking up the wrong tree. Personally, I think the notion of the modern nation state and the modern idea of citizenship are absurd products of the 19. century. That doesn’t make them less real. Again, if you think you can come up with a working model of how to implement “nationality” in the sense of “Puerto Rican nationality”, please propose another property. --Emu (talk) 14:13, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- w:Citizenship is a no less vague and difficult concept to model at Wikidata than Nationality. The two concepts are very closely related, and the difference between the two is not a straight line. This is reflected on the fact that many, many aliases of this very property include the notion of Nationality, including the English one.
- during the property proposal process: 1 comment by a clueless guy at the very start of this project is not a property proposal like we have today, be serious.
- Numerous proposals to add another “nationality” property I don't want another property, I want to extend this one. I'm saying that the "purely legal sense" (in the Western legal codes) shouldn't be the main and only way to describe someone's nationality/citizenship. P27 is the de-facto property for human (Q5) to include nationality, a property many people are concerned with, and equally as "real" as all the properties humans adscribe to matter (this is, imaginary, not real). Maybe if you are so concerned with a separate property for legal modern state citizenship (a concept yourself called absurd), then that should be the new property. As Wikidata deals with humans from all history, the lack of a nationality property for most of them (most people were born before this absurd concept came into state enforcing) is concerning to me.
- If they are Spanish or American citizens, a corresponding statement should be added (or retained) I'm complaining about the bot that moves that claim to United States, a factually wrong change for people born before April 11, 1899.
- I fail to see why this should influence Wikidata’s modeling because the model you're defending deals is based on "purely legal sense", and in this "purely legal sense" women and children were excluded in most, not some of the countries.
- Ignacio Rodríguez (talk) 15:28, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- I understand that you and others want to muddy the waters by extending the meaning of country of citizenship (P27) to a general vibe. That’s not the meaning of the property and never has been, that’s not the predominant use of the property, that’s not a useful type of information and this type of property has been rejected in the past.
- I can see your problem with the autofix though so I changed the statement. --Emu (talk) 15:59, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the autofix. I don't think there's has been enough discussion, but I won't engage in this thread anymore. I won't stop thinking that citizenship is just as a general vibe as nationality. Both are imaginary concepts people attribute themselves, and one is not more real than the other just because an imaginary institution such as a "modern nation state" enforces it. That's the reason it's difficult to draw a straight line between the two. And I definitely reject the notion that nationality is a useless type of information, specially for nations that don't have the one and only specific way of organizing themselves ("modern" nation-state), such as indigenous nations and colonies. Ignacio Rodríguez (talk) 18:10, 24 March 2024 (UTC) PS: there is ontologies out there that don't fall into this trap, and the result isn't vague and unmanageable. Just over 2000 different "vibes"]. Now that I see ethnic group (P172) has alias "nationality" I think I will use that property for such cases. Still, I think both properties should be merged and don't have "modern western contemporary legal nation state membership" in one side and "all the other forms of human organization" in the other.

- Hello everyone,
- I would like to contribute to this discussion from the perspective of Puerto Rico.
- I am part of Wiki-PR, a community of volunteers working to give visibility to Puerto Rican artists, writers, and other cultural figures on Wikidata. While training new editors to create and describe new elements, we have repeatedly encountered this problem: it is not possible to include “Puerto Rico” in property P27 (country of citizenship), since the system automatically replaces it with “United States.” For many participants, this is not just a technical detail. They feel colonized even within Wikidata, because the current data model does not allow them to represent their Puerto Rican identity.
- This situation raises important questions like:
- How does Puerto Rico’s colonial status affect the representation and retrieval of information in Wikidata? How can we query or retrieve data about Puerto Rican people if we are not allowed to record Puerto Rican nationality?
- I believe we should rethink the restriction that prevents using “Puerto Rico” in P27, as forcing “United States” erases the complexity of Puerto Rico’s colonial condition. ClaudiaDeSouza (talk) 02:28, 30 October 2025 (UTC)
- @ClaudiaDeSouza Although it might seem otherwise from previous discussions, I’m actually sympathetic to your cause. The problem is that country of citizenship (P27) can’t really represent the complex situation of Puerto Rico at the moment. Modern Puerto Ricans are U. S. citizens for all intents and purposes if limited to the question of citizenship. It is true that in a sense, country of citizenship (P27) conveys a hegemonial western perspective on the world and that’s because the whole concept of citizenship hinges on that notion. However, I do feel that Puerto Rican identity isn’t properly captured in Wikidata at the moment. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I gather that ethnic group (P172) wouldn’t suffice because it’s not strictly about ethnicity. One possibility would thus be to use subject has role (P2868) with an appropriate value (and an appropriate reference). That way, Puerto Rican identity would be captured in Wikidata and be made queryable. --Emu (talk) 23:26, 30 October 2025 (UTC)
Austria post 1918
[edit]Pallor, M2k~dewiki, Habst: We currently have several country of citizenship (P27) values that don’t really make sense because they refer to name changes or changes of government but not changes to the identity of the state of Austria (Q40), namely:
- Republic of German-Austria (Q268970) (63 instances)
- First Republic of Austria (Q518101) (98 instances)
- Federal State of Austria (Q176495) (41 instances)
I would propose to add a constraint with autofix pattern. Do you agree? --Emu (talk) 16:10, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the ping, I don't think Q176495 and Q518101 indicate a citizenship granting entity even if P31=sovereign state (Q3624078) is marked. So personally, I agree, but it would be lucky if WikiProject Austria participants supported it. Pallor (talk) 17:38, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

- OK, thank you for your message. It take note

Notified participants of WikiProject Germany- I checked that we currently have 302258 people with country of citizenship (P27) = Germany (Q183), 11983 people with German Reich (Q1206012), 5070 people with German Empire (Q43287), 1858 people with Nazi Germany (Q7318), 1195 people with Weimar Republic (Q41304) and 5 people with Third Reich (Q518617). So Q183 does have a clear majority over others. Should we be replacing all the ones mentioned with Q183? Samoasambia ✎ 18:43, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

I will remove this constraint until a broader consensus is reached. stjn[ru] 00:29, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

The term "Cisleithanian citizenship" seems misleading
[edit]For this property, the term "Cisleithanian citizenship" (Q533534) is used to describe the legal status of inhabitants in the Austrian half of the Austria-Hungary (Q28513). However, I could not find any reliable sources confirming this term was recognized during that period (including the paper Von imperialer Inklusion zur nationalen Exklusion: Staatsbürgerschaft in Österreich-Ungarn 1867-1923, which is listed as the reference for the property constraint in the current version).
The official designation for the Austrian half was "The Kingdoms and Lands represented in the Imperial Council" (Die im Reichsrat vertretenen Königreiche und Länder), and the inhabitants were referred to as nationals (Staatsbürger) of these territories. The term "Cisleithania" itself was a descriptive term derived from the Leitha River, marking the historical boundary between Austrian and Hungarian lands. It seems that the term "Cisleithanian citizenship" is used here to distinguish from contemporary Austrian citizenship (Q40), but it was not an official term during the existence of Austria-Hungary
Acoriding to the cited source Q105813003, official documents used "Austrian citizenship" (österreichischer Staatsbürger), while people primarily identified with their crown lands and/or nationality. Should this be listed rather than "Cisleithanian citizenship" to reflect historical legal terminology more accurately? -- Smihael (talk) 16:55, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

Possibly related is also the notion of homeland rights, which could be added as a different property and would address the potential issue with using "Austrian citizenship" for non-Austiran nationals in the Austrian half of the Austria-Hungary. --Smihael (talk) 10:39, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- The terms 'homeland' and 'citizenship' should not be confused. During the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the right to a homeland was either given by birth or acquired. It could be acquired after a period of residence in a community, but communities avoided this. This was because of the potential costs that a municipality could incur with a poor population.
- Citizenship was acquired as the child of an Austrian citizen or by descent under the conditions laid down by law. Citizenship was Austrian or Austro-Hungarian, but there is no talk of Cislaitan citizenship, nor is the term Translaitan citizenship used.
- Of course, for the average citizen, the right of citizenship was more important, because it could have a significant impact on his or her daily life, e.g. social rights in the place of residence, where he or she did not have the right of citizenship.
- I would avoid using Cislaitania as a nationality for the inhabitants of the Austrian part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Let us rather use the term Austria-Hungary. The use of the term Austrian citizenship can lead to confusion, because Austria as a country under that name obviously did not exist between 1867 and 1918. It would even be a problem because the flag of modern Austria would appear next to the citizenship Austria, not the flag of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Until 1867, Austrian citizenship also applied to the Hungarian part of the country, but from 1867-1918 only to the Austrian half of the monarchy.
- See for example Irena Selišnik: Status državljanstva ob nastanku nove Države SHS. Strategije izbire (in Slovene) [8] and Ulrike von Hirschhausen, From imperial inclusion to national exclusion: citizenship in the Habsburg monarchy and in Austria 1867–1923 [9]
- Britannica, in its 1911 entry on Austria-Hungary, said: "The monarchy consists of two independent states: the kingdoms and lands represented in the council of the empire (Reichsrat), unofficially called Austria (q.v.) or Cisleithania; and the “lands of St Stephen’s Crown,” unofficially called Hungary (q.v.) or Transleithania." (bolded by me). [10]
- I propose to allow the entry of the nationality as citizenship of Austria-Hungary instead of Cislaitania. --Bb63lj 15:35, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
Since I have been asked to join this discussion:
- I don’t especially care for the term “Cisleithania” either.
- However, Wikidata labels should generally follow Wikipedia terminology if suitable. The English Wikipedia article is called w:en:Cisleithania. I don't see any really good reason other than personal preference to deviate from Wikipedia usage.
- As mentioned, Austria-Hungary never had a unified citizenship so, the two states considered nationals of the other one to be foreigners. To use country of citizenship (P27)Austria–Hungary (Q28513) (or indeed “Austria-Hungary” as a label) would be an anachronism, misleading and plain wrong.
- Infobox usage is almost never a good reason to change Wikidata modeling or Wikidata content since individual projects’ preferences should be achieved by template programming or indeed local content.
--Emu (talk) 18:44, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- So in terms of data modeling, there are at least two issues. First, the naming this property country of citizenship might be inappropriate, since there are rare but notable exceptions where the citizenship is granted by entities other than sovereign states, including the one we are discussing here. Maybe there should be a separate property citizenship, which would not require country as an input. The second and more important issue is the inconsistency of Wikipedia items linked to the data entry Cisleithania (Q533534). While some (e.g., fr:Royaumes et pays représentés à la Diète d'Empire and pl:Królestwa i Kraje w Radzie Państwa Reprezentowane) refer to the entity itself, others such as sl:Cislajtanija mainly discuss the informal naming and not the entity itself. Finally, there are also articles such as en:Cisleithania and it:Cisleitania, that introduce the informal naming and continue describing the entity. I think, there should be either:
- two separate entries at Wikidata - one for the entity and other for the naming, or
- some other way to enforce the usage of the official name/translation not some informal name that just creates confusion.
- -- Smihael (talk) 22:43, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- There have been many proposals re “country of citizenship” and they never seem to go anywhere. The problem invariably seems to be that people try to change the property or introduce a new property based on one edge case (which isn’t really the case here, “Cisleithania” was a sovereign country and had a unified citizenship law). See many previous discussions on this very property talk page or Wikidata:Requests for comment/Constraints for Germanies for another recent example.
- Although there are some differences between the Wikipedia articles that have links in Cisleithania (Q533534), I find it hard to draw the line between two meanings. They all more or less cover “The Kingdoms and Lands Represented in the Imperial Council”, even the Slovenian one.
- As for a way to enforce the usage of the official name: I suppose you mean in infoboxes? That’s for each project to decide, you could use name (P2561) with an appropriate qualifier or a subproperty to allow for an appropriate name in the infobox. --Emu (talk) 08:47, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
