Hi, where did you get this from? It's wrong. Please check for possible similar mistakes.

This comes from nl-wiki, where it is in a sub-cat of "America" because of the US-stock-exchange. As the "country of origin" was not filled, but the "country" was filled instead, it got filled. In my logic, a company should have "country of origin" instead of "country" filled in, the script didn't skip this item.

Thanks. "Country of origin" might be better than just "country" for companies, don't know. But automatically adding "country of origin" to company items only based on a certain stock exchange category (or list) seems a bad idea in general to me. Please note the explicit intro at en:Category:Companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange (…"there are also companies from many other countries").

For my script, this is a kind of exceptional case too, and often I spot them later on, as I look after all of the edits, but this one I must have missed.
