which btw. is another good example of misleading and wrong information via wikidata. There’s no indication that there are 2 groups of companies (Aldi nord and süd) each of which consisting of many companies, instead it seems Aldi is one single company “GmbH & Co. KG” (property legal form). There’s not even the full name, nor a vatin. It also suggests that the aldi nord logo is the logo for this aldi süd instance.


If you tag operator=Aldi Süd there’s no problem, but if you tag operator:wikidata=
Q125054
you introduce errors and uncertainties.


cheers,
