Part of the problem is that some of these problems simply aren't fixable 
at wikipedia.  For example 
https://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D1%80%D0%B1%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0 and 
https://sq.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbia are allegedly the same article and 
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q403 lists them both. However, as can be 
seen by looking at the maps on each page, they aren't the same 
geographic entity - one includes Kosovo, one does not.  Neither is 
"wrong" from the point of view of the authors of each page yet they 
can't both be "correct" at the same time.

Best Regards,
Andy
