One of the pleasures of adding Wikidata identifiers is finding Qitems which need to be merged. Here 3 items were merged, and a Chinese and English page linked
Merging 3 Qitems due to reuse of Encyclopedia of Korea identifier

Wonderful news. And more than bloody time. A disgrace for the US, the UK and of course, the Australian government

Today we're celebrating the end of our "Larger Micro Moth" digitisation project, which we wrapped up earlier this month. What makes a Larger Micro Moth? Well, the definition is a little bit fuzzy (just like the moths themselves).
Dorsal view of Adscita statices, a brilliant green moth with shimmering antennae. Background is "digitisation grey" and the specimen's labels are lined up next to the moth, and a scale bar is included. The moth is hardly 2 centimeters wide.

Or the modern equivalent, and in the antipodes: Lying in a tepid bath to escape the heat, watching a netflix series on your phone... (Buttered crumpets - delicious but too messy for this enthusiast of bath-lying and besides you need a maid) @FrankPouncby

Well, what would the scientists know about research? Managers apparently know and understand everything.

@AirservicesNews @wm_au @FrankPouncby @annreynolds988 The planned runways at the new Badgerys Creek airport imply dangerous takeoffs and landings which are not in conformity with international accepted stabilised approach and departure procedures.
