Wikidata and entity checker

Inspect publisher identity markup and sameAs profile signals, then review the live Wikidata search candidate returned by the scanner. A shared name is a lead, not a verified entity match.

The existing lookup searches using a name derived from the domain. It can miss a differently named publisher or return an unrelated entity. Compare the candidate with the actual publisher and its official website before linking it.

Frequently asked questions

Does my site need a Wikidata entry?

No. The identity rubric can be satisfied with accurate local identity and accountability evidence. Do not create a promotional item merely to pass a scan.

Does a returned Q-ID verify my organization?

No. Name search produces candidates. Compare the entity description, official website and other identity facts before adding a sameAs link.

Does sameAs guarantee more AI citations?

No. sameAs expresses an identity relationship. It neither verifies that relationship by itself nor guarantees retrieval, ranking or citation selection.
