I will create a file with those columns and add MPs that lack specific dates to that file.
I will also contact Lotta and Mattias and ask them to work on bio book 3–5. I will also ask Lotta to curate the list of start/end dates of riksdag years from 1867 to today.
The opposite. Only add those with specific dates (since those are much more rare).
Ah, so I should add ALL MPs that have specific dates on wikidata, including those that I add in this work? I will see how much extra work this will take though. Maybe it is easy.
Its just that the stuff that we manually check, we want to keep as unit test because we are sure this is correct. We can discuss the details friday.

@fredrik1984 I've made such a list from the wikipedia page & plan to open a PR with it tomorrow. Perhaps it will be less work to just criticize that list and propose fixes than to start from 0.
Excellent!
@MansMeg – ok, so just MP specific start/end dates that are currently missed on wikidata. That was what I thought.
@BobBorges – yes, that sounds very reasonable! Let me know when that is done and then Lotta can start on that.
Here is a Google Sheet with all MPs from the bio books that have at least one specific start/end date that was missing in Wikidata but has now been corrected. Currently, Fredrik and Mattias have added info from bio books 1–4. When @Lottabrorsson has done the last bio book @BobBorges can do an update.

@BobBorges – is this issue ready to be closed?
I think we should add a unit test with the files from you, Lotta and Mattias as a final thing before we close this.
yes, not ready to close
Problem A start/end date in the bio books sometimes only refers to a year (e.g. 1964), which means the official start/end of that riksdag year. If a specific start/end dates is stated (e.g. 1964-10-23), that means that the MP started/ended in the middle of a riksdag year. The problem is that we don't know how accurate start/end dates in wikdata are, that is if an MP started/ended according to the riksdag year or in the middle of the year.
During the weekend, I went through the first bio book of the bicameral riksdag and looked up every MP that had a specific start/end date and checked if this date was correct on wikidata. If it was not, I added the specific date. As suspected, quite many MPs missed these specific start/end dates. It “only” took 3–4 hours to go through the whole first bio book. A bonus with this work was that I also found out a couple of MPs that missed i-ort, which I added.
Solution We should review the last four volumes of the biobooks and check specialized dates.
If we do this, it would be great to also list these people in a separate file for quality control/unit testing. I suggest a file with as following:
Then we can check that these are not changed at Wikidata if we go through the manual part anyway.
More discussion can be found in issue #342 .
We should add the files as a unit test
