<environment: R_GlobalEnv>Bolivia Municipalities — Flag & Coat of Arms Wikidata Review
Visual check before running QuickStatements to add P41 (flag image) and P94 (coat of arms image)
How to use
- Scroll through each section and visually verify the images are correct municipal flags / coats of arms.
- Uncheck any rows that look wrong (wrong municipality, poor quality, duplicates, etc.).
- Click Copy selected QuickStatements to copy the tab-separated statements.
- Paste into QuickStatements and run.
All images load directly from Wikimedia Commons — an internet connection is required.
NoteData sources
- Proposed additions — cross-check of Category:Flags of municipalities of Bolivia and Category:Coats of arms of municipalities of Bolivia against existing Wikidata P41/P94 claims for the
Q1062710(Municipality of Bolivia) class. - Matching — filenames decoded from Wikidata SPARQL; Commons filenames matched to municipalities by name extraction + fuzzy string match. A few ambiguous files were excluded (see [Unmatched files] below).
- Snapshot date — July 17, 2026. To refresh, re-run the cross-check block in the analysis session and re-save
data/wd_flag_coat_review.rds.
Impact
The goal of this review is to improve the coverage of municipal flags and coats of arms in Wikidata, which in turn will allow the generated infoboxes on English Wikipedia to include these images. If fully implemented (and you need to check for errors first):
Of the 195 Bolivian municipality articles currently on English Wikipedia, only 6 include a flag image and 1 includes a seal in the infobox. The generated infoboxes produced by bolivia-muni-infobox-en.qmd would cover all 340 municipalities, and by pulling images already linked in Wikidata, 107 of those would include a flag and 3 would include a coat of arms — a dramatic improvement in coverage, though 65 of those 107 flags correspond to municipalities that already have a Wikipedia article (the remaining 42 would be on new pages). If the new Commons-matched images are first added to Wikidata via the QuickStatements outputs, the generated infoboxes would expand further to 175 municipalities with flags and 41 with coats of arms — representing 22 of the 195 existing articles gaining a coat for the first time, and 96 total existing articles with a flag.
Flags (P41) — 68 proposed additions
These 68 municipalities have a flag image in the Commons category but no P41 claim in Wikidata. The QuickStatement adds the Commons filename as the value of P41 (flag image).
68 selected
Coats of Arms (P94) — 38 proposed additions
These 38 municipalities have a coat of arms / escudo in the Commons category but no P94 claim in Wikidata.
Warning
Several of these images have low-quality or unofficial-looking filenames (e.g. ESCUDO OFICIAL-GOBIERNO AUTONOMO..., FB IMG escudo de colquechaca.jpg). Review carefully before accepting.

- 2 municipalities have P94 pointing to a coat not in this Commons category.
Unmatched Commons files
These files in the Commons categories could not be reliably matched to a specific municipality and were excluded from the QuickStatements. Manual assignment may be possible for some.
