    Similarly to Japan, consecutive terms by the same person are entered with separate “position held” statements, rather than rolled into one.

    I think this is the first time the Wikidata list has had extra membership data over Wikipeda, but has been incorrect. So, for example, Leng Ngeth, who was Prime Minister prior to the time period we’re interested in, has been entered in Wikidata with the wrong dates, thus appearing erroneously in the list.

    This means we need to tweak the scoring formula slightly again, so as to treat each extraneous entry in Wikidata similarly to a missing entry. I’ve updated the spreadsheet with that and verified that every other score so far remains the same.
