Aldi Sud does not make sense, it’s either Süd or, if you really have to (e.g. domain names), Sued. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q41171672 This kind of fiddling leads to objects like this: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q125054 inception 1913 founded by Karl and Theo Albrecht, born 1920 and 1922. Founded 7/9 years before their birth? It is also not true that aldi nord and süd result or follow from the splitting of Aldi, they result from the split of Albrecht KG. Not even the founding year 1960 for the parts is correct, it’s 1961 (according to wp and company website) It also still claims Aldi is a GmbH & Co. KG and even has 1 reference for this (german wikipedia), while the German wikipedia actually has a long paragraph trying to explain the structure and saying there are 66 different regional GmbH & Co. KG, plus other companies like the ALDI Einkauf GmbH & Co. oHG or the ALDI SÜD Dienstleistungs-GmbH & Co. oHG, i.e. it’s a group of companies, a concern. Here’s a list of parts of Aldi Süd: https://unternehmen.aldi-sued.de/de/impressum/ It can all be fixed of course, but I’m curious how all these errors have gotten there. There’s still more wrong than correct in this object. cheers, Martin
