Wood chemistry[edit]
Why did you remove YSO ID 15429 from wood chemistry (Q25451366)? That is the correct ID in YSO for wood chemistry. If you go to it you will see that it lists the English form of puukemia as "wood chemistry". Google Translate also translates "puukemia" as "wood chemistry". Why do you think this ID doesn't belong on Q25451366? UWashPrincipalCataloger (talk) 10:48, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
Hello, I am one of the maintainers of YSO at National Library of Finland. YSO is a trilingual vocabulary (Finnish, Swedish, English). wood chemistry (Q25451366) is/was an item with no links to Wikipedia. On the other hand, there were two items, Q31886986 (Swedish: träkemi) and Q99196245 (Finnish: puukemia), with identical meanings that both had one Wikipedia article link to Swedish Träkemi and Finnish Puukemia respectively. As you say, "wood chemistry" is indeed "puukemia" in Finnish. On the other hand, in Swedish "wood chemistry" is called "träkemi". Thus there were separate items in all these three languages (English, Finnish, Swedish) when there should have been only one. I merged all the three items into one and linked YSO with the remaining item. I've been instructed by Wikimedia Finland that a) it is safest to link to the remaining item and not the one(s) that have been merged with it and b) it is best to keep the oldest item while merging. I followed these instructions. Tpalonen (talk) 11:16, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
Domestic Violence Shelter vs. Emergency Shelter[edit]
I would like to remove Domestic Violence Shelter as an "also known as" for the item Emergency Shelter Q98322897 and create a separate item for Domestic Violence Shelter. Domestic violence shelters do not fit under the current description for emergency shelter "place of temporary refuge and support for anyone escaping violent or abusive situations no matter their gender" because they DO NOT allow men.
Hi Mr. Palonen,
what is the difference to solvency (Q1137437)?-- Glühwürmchenweg (talk) 18:21, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
- solvency (Q1137437) is the ability to cope with current payment obligations with the help of available and currently available financing, but you do not have to be financially solid. solidity (Q104052946) means that a company can take losses and more loans. Saarik (talk) 13:49, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Saarik: Dear Saarik, is solvens equivalent to financial liquidity (Q1827667)?
- If you could be so nice: Is Balanslikviditet placed right at current ratio (Q2210989)?--פחונים (talk) 16:57, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
- I cannot really confirm on "solvens" being equivalent as these are two differenct concepts in en-wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvency and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accounting_liquidity.
- Current ratio is a liquidity measure so it is a different concept. Saarik (talk) 17:05, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
