Duplicate article

Hi @Stitchbird2, as an expat Kiwi I wanted to say hi! I did some work on isopods in Te Papa's collection many, many years ago.

I noticed that you created A Monograph of the Genus Lilaeopsis (Umbelliferae) (Q114491943) which is a duplicate of A Monograph of the Genus Lilaeopsis (Umbelliferae) (Q55767894), which you can see because they have the same DOI. This usually triggers a warning on the Wikidata page. Do you want to go ahead and merge the newer A Monograph of the Genus Lilaeopsis (Umbelliferae) (Q114491943) into the older A Monograph of the Genus Lilaeopsis (Umbelliferae) (Q55767894), or shall I?

Hi @Rdmpage thank you for pointing out this duplication, I don't know how I missed the warning or didn't do my due diligence before creating this item! I've merged them now. Thanks for your work on our isopods! In an expat American (now also Kiwi) and I'm a big fan of your work in the wiki world :) Thanks for reaching out. Stitchbird2 (talk) 20:55, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

@Stitchbird2 Nice to meet you, many thanks for doing the merge. Rdmpage (talk) 21:35, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
