Beyond Notability: Places
A place is typically a location at which a meeting took place, where an excavation happened, or where somebody lived, was born, or died.
In order to be able to make queries about people who, say, lived close to one another, it is important to record places hierarchically.
For places in the United Kingdom, this means using the located in the administrative territorial entity (P33) property to connect specific places to generic places, specifically the 12 NUTS regions. For example:
- Barnard Castle (Q198) > (P33) > County Durham (Q199)
- County Durham (Q199) > (P33) > North East England (Q200)
Where possible (and especially for places in the UK), ensure that specific places (e.g. villages/towns) are connected to a district or parish, which is connected to a county, which is connected to a region, which is connected a country. In most cases where a new village or town is created, this means not connecting what village or town directly to a county (the Wikidata entry for the village or town can be great help is figuring this out). The result of this query is a useful way of seeing how this works, as well spotting rogue entries.

Beyond Notability: Other places
Some places are hillforts, amphitheatres, abbeys, country houses, or other related entities.
In these cases, use your judgement to decide how to use 'instance of' statements, as some may be archaeological sites, others simply localities.
Use the heritage IDs for England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland (and other places!) where possible.
