The description says "Czech bank", but looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raiffeisenbank, it appears to be a mainly Austrian bank with many local branches. The Czech branch does not even have an article in any language except Czech. When editing a German branch on OpenStreetMap, I was prompted in the iD editor to use the Wikidata information, which referred to the Czech Wikipedia page and this Wikidata page, which is plain wrong for the node I was editing. I would just correct the description and edit the Wikipedia article link to be the disambiguation page, but I'm new to Wikidata and am not sure how information should be structured. Perhaps it is just the page title that is wrong, and the iD editor matched it based on the title? Looking for Raiffeisenbank on Wikidata, there are a lot of local variants, but only one titled exactly "Raiffeisenbank" which is this Czech entry, and the Czech branch is not a parent of the rest, so it seems like the page's title is wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.48.39.150 (talk)

Hi, this item is about Czech bank, a subsidiary of Raiffeisen Bank International (Q2127528), which is clear from its content and description. Note that unlike wikipedias, Wikidata item label (Help:Label) does not need to be unique, in that multiple items can have the same label, however no two items may have both the same label and the same description. In this case description is clear, so there is nothing to "fix".
RBI has just branch in Germany, perhaps you are editing on OSM some local Raiffeisenbank, that needs to be connected it its appropriate item (if it exists, otherwise feel free to create it).--Jklamo (talk) 08:25, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
