Hi Sic19, I reverted some merges you did, for example Pierre Riviere (Q65598298) and Pierre J-M Rivière (Q91511052). Maybe you matched them on ORCID iD (P496)? My experience is that IdRef ID (P269) is not a reliable source for ORCIDs, it has attached the ORCID to authors with a similar name.

Hi @Difool, thanks for your message. I merged based on ORCID ID and name similarity. Agree that IdRef is not a reliable source for ORCIDs and I will check the reference on ORCID ID statements before doing anymore merges.
