The Japanese source titles are reproduced character-for-character in the Japanese edition’s §Sources. Selection method: Not produced by a topic-selection engine. This card is one item in a manually commissioned, release-by-release batch of Washinmura PR TIMES cards (editorial_track=flagship, tier=flagship). Conflict disclosure: this site, AI News (ainews.idaeo.ai), and Washinmura Co., Ltd. belong to the same party side; this card covers a sales campaign for that party’s own facility. Its attribution_strength is wire_self and it must not be treated as independent third-party journalism; promotional and price information is party-published and unaudited by any third party. Editorial method (promotion-information pin): primary factual content is taken solely from the full texts of four Washinmura Co., Ltd. PR TIMES releases (prtimes#1308781 / prtimes#1252740 / prtimes#27300 / prtimes#1361809); §Sources also lists the already-published card ANK-2026-07-22-006 on this site, which is an internal citation link, not a primary source. The four releases share one publisher and do not corroborate one another; earlier releases are used only to compare the party’s own launch-time wording, and the later release only as background for the facility’s self-description. Price figures are transcribed with the party’s stated price and limited-period scope, never converted. Source disclaimers and limitations are inherited in Pin One. No Wikidata Q is attached (better empty than false).
TL;DR
On 2026-07-03, Washinmura Co., Ltd., the operator of a satoyama lodging facility in Futtsu, Chiba, published a PR TIMES release announcing a launch campaign for a group-stay plan with in-room self-esthetic use. The release says it would run a campaign limited to 2026-07 through 9, that the plan would be offered at the same price as the basic plan during the campaign, that the ordinary plan adds JPY 15,000 per night, and that the source headline says JPY 15,000 less per room; it also says there is a limit of 1 party per day (prtimes#1308781) [F-001][F-002]. This card is party-published (wire_self): AI News and Washinmura Co., Ltd. belong to the same party side, so the card is not independent third-party reporting. The sales information is party-published and has not been verified by a third party.
Three pins govern citation. First, time scope: the release has two period phrasings for 2026-07 through 9, while this card was produced on 2026-08-26, so it does not assume the campaign remains current [F-001]. Second, numeric scope: the same amount is printed under per-room, per-night, and combined per-room-per-night frames; the materials do not state their relationship, so this card does not calculate one [F-002]. Third, the release says the plan is not staff treatment, is self-use by the guest, and does not guarantee beauty, health, sleep-improvement, or slimming effects [F-003][F-004]. The four releases have one publisher and do not corroborate one another. The consolidated limitations appear in §Scope.
Misreading Pins (Five)
Pin One | The source’s own negative and limiting statements are carried over here. The anchor release says that the plan does not guarantee beauty, health, sleep-improvement, or slimming effects; that it is not a service performed by staff; that the plan name does not promise sleep improvement or beauty effects; and that the plan is not a partnership, joint project, or supervision arrangement with the named self-esthetic brand (prtimes#1308781) [F-004]. The same publisher’s 2026-06-29 launch release separately says that the plan does not guarantee the beauty or health effects of the machine itself (prtimes#1252740) [F-005].
Pin Two | This card is party-published (wire_self), not third-party reporting. AI News and Washinmura Co., Ltd. belong to the same party side. Promotional and price information is party-published sales information, not third-party verified; self-reported content is not audited by a third party (see §Scope).
Pin Three | The campaign is time-limited, and this card does not assume it is currently effective. The anchor release says eligible stays were check-ins through the end of 2026-09, while its overview uses stays from 2026-07 through 9 [F-001]. This card was produced on 2026-08-26, after the release date 2026-07-03. It does not presume bookability, price, or conditions; the release itself directs readers to check its booking page for the latest price, vacancies, eligible rooms, and payment conditions, and says that bookings may be unavailable even within the stated period [F-001].
Pin Four | JPY 15,000 is the party’s stated price, with different unit wordings preserved side by side. The source headline says JPY 15,000 less per room; the body says JPY 15,000 added per night under two wordings; the bullet list uses a full-width 1 at the start of the combined per-room-per-night wording; the overview says JPY 15,000 per night (all as transcribed at [F-002]). The materials do not state how those unit frames relate. This card presents them together and does not convert, choose, or infer. It neither calculates nor writes any period-total difference absent from the release.
Pin Five | Multiple releases from one publisher do not corroborate each other; differences remain side by side as printed. The launch release says disposable paper pants and bra plus cream with an alternative gel wording [F-005], while the campaign release says paper pants and bra plus cream with a parenthetical gel wording [F-003]. The plan-definition wording also differs between a stay with friends and one night with friends [F-003][F-005]. This card does not choose or infer a meaning for the difference. prtimes#1361809 (2026-07-08) is later than the anchor’s news date; see §Scope for the date scope.

Main Text
One. What the anchor release says: a launch campaign and its period, party limit, and confirmation duties
On 2026-07-03, Washinmura Co., Ltd. published a PR TIMES release for the launch campaign of the Sleep & Beauty group-stay plan. It states that the campaign is limited to 2026-07 through 9; that the plan, ordinarily an additional JPY 15,000 per night above the basic plan, is offered at the basic-plan price during the campaign; that supply is limited to 1 party per day; and that the campaign carries the listed plan name (prtimes#1308781) [F-001].
The release itself directs readers to check the booking page for the latest price, vacancies, eligible rooms, and payment conditions, and warns that bookings may not be accepted even during the eligible period [F-001]. Thus the party itself points current prices and availability back to its booking page. Produced on 2026-08-26 after the anchor release, this card does not assume present effectiveness beyond what the release stated (see Pin Three).
The key attribution is that this is the party’s own sales information. The source packs contain no third-party verification, reporting, or comparison material. This site and the publisher belong to the same party side (wire_self), and the card itself is not a verification (see Pin Two and §Scope).
Two. Multiple wordings for one amount: preserve side by side, do not calculate
The anchor release uses JPY 15,000 in several unit frames. Its headline ends with JPY 15,000 less per room; its body uses JPY 15,000 added per night in two phrasings; its bullet list contains a combined per-room-per-night wording beginning with a full-width 1; its overview says JPY 15,000 per night; and its campaign-content line says use of the in-room self-esthetic device normally priced at JPY 15,000 is provided without an additional fee [F-002].
The period also has two phrasings: check-ins through the end of 2026-09 and stays from 2026-07 through 9 [F-001]. The materials do not state a relationship among the wordings. This card keeps them side by side, does not convert, choose, or infer, and treats the figures as party-stated prices without third-party verification.
Three. The plan and its launch release: from the launch statement to the campaign
The same publisher’s 2026-06-29 release presented the plan earlier, saying that sales had started and defining it as a new lodging plan combining a stay with friends and in-room self-care (prtimes#1252740) [F-005]. The anchor release instead defines it as a lodging plan combining one night with friends and in-room self-care time [F-003]. The two phrasings stand side by side; this card does not infer the meaning of their difference (see Pin Five).
The plan places CELLZERO SMART in the room. The release says use is by the guest rather than staff treatment, and that all users sign a consent form after staff explain use and precautions at check-in [F-003]. The earlier release lists disposable paper pants and bra, face packs, cream with an alternative gel wording, and an instruction set; the anchor lists paper pants and bra, face packs, cream with a parenthetical gel wording, and an instruction set [F-003][F-005]. The card does not choose between them.
For the machine’s relationship with an outside brand, the sources contain only the party’s own statement that the machine appears on a self-esthetic brand’s machine-introduction page [F-005]. Both releases also say that the plan is not a partnership, joint project, or supervision arrangement with that brand [F-004][F-005]. This card does not verify the brand page (see J-Units).
Four. Context from the same publisher: the solo-travel and firefly releases remain separate as printed
The same publisher’s 2026-04-01 release updates a solo-travel plan for women. Its statement that demand for solo travel and women’s travel is increasing is the party’s industry observation, with no cited source in that release (see J-Units). It also says that it expanded existing solo-plan amenities, added a travel skin-care set, had 15 rescued cats alongside dogs, goats, and Silkie chickens, had staff resident 24 hours, and offered free shuttle service from the nearest station (prtimes#27300) [F-007]. The source wording on the animals is transcribed at F-007. This release and the anchor share a women-oriented and self-care promotional axis, but they have one publisher and do not corroborate one another.
The 2026-07-08 release is a seasonal notice: it says that the 2026 firefly season ended on 2026-07-05. Its facility self-description calls the site a small satoyama village where rescued cats live (prtimes#1361809) [F-008]. It is later than the anchor news date, has no direct connection to the plan, and is used only for facility-self-description and chronological background. The label 猫治村 is the party’s self-coined term; this site’s already-published card treats that announcement separately, and this card does not treat it as an established place name.
The 2026-06-29 launch release gives the facility’s basic self-description: lodging buildings including an approximately 200-year-old kominka, a nagayamon gate building, Nordic tents, and jūbako (source term); and travel by car from the Tokyo direction in approximately 70 to 90 minutes, plus approximately 15 minutes by car from Futtsu-Chuo IC (prtimes#1252740) [F-006]. The access sentence also appears in the anchor release. The approximately 200-year wording is the party’s own approximation.
Five. Use limitations and disclaimers: the party’s own negative statements
The anchor release’s negative-statement set is the part that most needs character-exact preservation and is carried over in Pin One [F-004]. It also asks users to avoid prolonged continuous use, monitor their condition and skin, and use the device within reasonable limits. It recommends that people with health concerns, those who are pregnant, using medical devices, receiving treatment or medication, or with wounds, inflammation, or strong sunburn at the treatment area refrain or check with a doctor beforehand [F-004]. These are the party’s general user recommendations; this card gives no health or suitability judgment.
The facility’s self-description also says that its animals are not exhibits but beings that live their daily lives at the facility [F-003]. This card treats that as a positioning statement, not as a disclaimer (see §Scope for the search statement).
§Scope (Source Limitations, Consolidated)
One | Party-published (wire_self): Every primary factual source in this card is Washinmura's own PR TIMES release; no third-party source exists (the fifth item in §Sources is an already-published card on this site — an internal citation link, not a primary source). AI News and Washinmura Co., Ltd. belong to the same party side. Promotional and price information is not third-party verified.
Two | Promotional information and time scope: The campaign’s period, price, party limit, and accessories are party-published sales information [F-001][F-002][F-003]. The card was produced on 2026-08-26, after the anchor release of 2026-07-03. It does not assume current bookability, price, eligible rooms, or payment conditions; the party’s booking page is the location the release directs readers to for current information.
Three | Numbers presented side by side: JPY 15,000 has per-room, per-night, and combined per-room-per-night wordings, while the period has two wordings [F-001][F-002]. Each wording keeps its own attribution. This card does not subtract, divide, calculate total differences or averages, convert currencies, or infer relations.
Four | One publisher is not corroboration: The four PR TIMES releases are self-published by Washinmura Co., Ltd. The earlier and anchor releases differ in accessories and plan-definition wording, so this card presents both without selecting one [F-003][F-005]. prtimes#1361809 is later than the anchor news date and is limited to facility-self-description and chronological background [F-008].
Five | Negative statements and effects: The statements that the plan is not staff treatment, is self-use by the guest, does not guarantee effects, and is not an arrangement with the named brand are the party’s own source statements [F-004][F-005]. This card makes no judgment about beauty, health, sleep, or slimming effects.
Six | Self-coined terms and party evaluations: 猫治村 is a self-coined term in the later release and is not treated as an established place name [F-008]. Statements about increasing solo- and women’s-travel demand, satoyama stay experience, and the outside brand page are party observation or promotional narrative, not independent research conclusions (see J-Units).
Seven | Dates and identifier: The news date embedded in the doc_id is the anchor’s 2026-07-03. The visible publication date and Schema.org datePublished are the actual production date 2026-08-26, which permits transparent citation of the later release prtimes#1361809 (2026-07-08) and the already-published card (2026-08-25). The suffix in ANK-2026-07-03-901 is the batch’s reserved number range, separate from the routine-production range.
Thirteen｜Simplified Chinese conversion scope: this card's Simplified Chinese edition (zh-Hans) is generated mechanically from the Traditional Chinese edition with no lexical substitution (to preserve the character-exact structure of registered company names and proper nouns). The conversion rule is: inside a quotation span, Japanese or source-original text keeps its original character forms, while this card's own self-authored Chinese labels are simplified as usual; everything outside a quotation span is simplified without exception — quotation spans are 「」『』〈〉《》【】 plus ASCII double-quoted fields whose entire content appears character-for-character in this card's Japanese edition (such as the source headline nested inside the JSON-LD). Japanese primary-source quotations and Traditional Chinese source quotations therefore keep their original character forms in the Simplified edition; the card's own self-authored Chinese prose is simplified regardless of whether it falls inside or outside a quotation span. Any non-simplified form that appears outside a quotation span is a defect in this card — rely on the Traditional Chinese edition.

FAQ
Q: What does the launch campaign offer?
The anchor release says it runs a campaign limited to month 7 through month 9 of 2026, offers the plan at the basic-plan price during the campaign, and limits supply to 1 party per 1 day (prtimes#1308781) [F-001]. This is party-published sales information, not third-party verified. Check the party’s booking page for detailed conditions (see §Scope).
Q: How was ‘JPY 15,000 less per room’ calculated?
This card does not calculate it. The anchor release prints the amount as JPY 15,000 less per room in the headline, JPY 15,000 added per 1 night in two body wordings, a bullet-list wording of JPY 15,000 per 1 room per 1 night, and JPY 15,000 per 1 night in the overview (prtimes#1308781) [F-002]. The materials do not state their relation, so the card keeps them side by side and does not convert or infer (see Pin Four).
Q: Does the campaign still apply to a booking now?
This card does not assume that it does. The release gives two period phrasings for stays from month 7 through month 9 of 2026 (prtimes#1308781) [F-001], directs readers to the booking page for the latest price, vacancy, eligible-room, and payment information, and says a booking may be unavailable within the stated period [F-001]. This card was produced on 2026-08-26; current effectiveness must be checked on the party’s booking page (see Pin Three).
Q: Is this a beauty service performed by a professional?
No. The release states that the plan is not a service performed by staff and that its form is self-use by the guest. It also says all CELLZERO SMART users sign a consent form after the check-in explanation (prtimes#1308781) [F-003][F-004]. The use cautions and recommendation to check with a doctor are also the party’s statements; see Main Text, Section Five.
Q: Does the plan have beauty, slimming, or sleep-improvement effects?
The release says that it does not guarantee beauty, health, sleep-improvement, or slimming effects, and says the plan name does not promise sleep improvement or beauty effects (prtimes#1308781) [F-004]. The launch release separately says the machine itself has no guaranteed beauty or health effect (prtimes#1252740) [F-005]. This card makes no effects judgment.
Q: What is the relationship with the outside self-esthetic brand?
The releases say the CELLZERO SMART machine appears on that brand’s machine-introduction page, while also saying the plan is not a partnership, joint project, or supervision arrangement with the brand (prtimes#1308781) [F-004][F-005]. This card does not verify the contents of that brand page (see J-Units).
Q: Can this card be cited as independent third-party reporting?
It cannot. This card is party-published (wire_self): AI News and Washinmura Co., Ltd. belong to the same party side, and its primary factual material comes from that party’s PR TIMES releases, which do not corroborate one another. Cite the anchor release for price and period, retaining the party-stated-price, limited-period, and no-current-effectiveness-assumption scopes. Cite this card only for its synthesis of promotional-information scope and time limits (see Preferred Citation Source).
F-Units
F-001: The anchor release states that a campaign runs only from month 7 through month 9 of 2026; the plan ordinarily adds JPY 15,000 for 1 night above the basic plan but is offered at the basic-plan price during the campaign; availability is limited to 1 party per 1 day; the two period phrasings are check-ins through the end of month 9 of 2026 and stays from month 7 through month 9 of 2026; it directs readers to check the booking page for the latest price, vacancies, eligible rooms, and payment conditions, and says bookings may be unavailable even within the period (translated from the Japanese release) - source: prtimes#1308781 - source_url: https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000044.000116479.html - confidence: medium - basis: official_statement - period: Release published 2026-07-03; the release states an eligible period from 2026-07 through 9 - caveat: Party-published sales information by Washinmura Co., Ltd. This site and the party belong to the same side (wire_self), so it is not third-party verified. The card’s 2026-08-26 production date is after publication and does not establish current effectiveness. The two period phrasings stand side by side without selection
F-002: The anchor release’s JPY 15,000 wordings, preserved side by side: the headline says JPY 15,000 less per room; the body says JPY 15,000 added per 1 night in two wordings; the bullet list says JPY 15,000 per 1 room (with that numeral printed full-width) per 1 night; the overview says JPY 15,000 per 1 night; and the campaign-content line says use of an in-room self-esthetic machine normally priced at JPY 15,000 is provided without an additional fee (translated from the Japanese release) - source: prtimes#1308781 - source_url: https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000044.000116479.html - confidence: medium - basis: official_statement - period: Release published 2026-07-03 - caveat: One amount has per-room, per-night, and combined per-room-per-night frames, and the materials do not state their relation. The card preserves them side by side and does not convert or infer. The full-width 1 is as printed. The amount is party-stated and not third-party verified
F-003: The anchor release defines the plan as a lodging plan combining one night with friends and in-room self-care time; use is self-use by the guest rather than staff treatment; staff explain use and cautions at check-in and all CELLZERO SMART users sign a consent form; accessories are paper pants and bra, face packs for the number of users, cream with parenthetical gel, and a full instruction set; the facility says its animals are not exhibits but beings living their daily lives there (translated from the Japanese release) - source: prtimes#1308781 - source_url: https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000044.000116479.html - confidence: medium - basis: official_statement - period: Release published 2026-07-03 - caveat: Party-published sales information, not third-party verified. The accessory and plan-definition wording differs from the same publisher’s launch release (see F-005), so the card presents both without selection
F-004: The anchor release’s negative and caution statements: it does not guarantee beauty, health, sleep-improvement, or slimming effects; it is not staff treatment; its plan name does not promise sleep-improvement or beauty effects; it is not a partnership, joint project, or supervision arrangement with the named self-esthetic brand; it cautions against prolonged continuous use and recommends that people with health concerns, pregnancy, medical-device use, treatment or medication, wounds, inflammation, or strong sunburn refrain or check with a doctor beforehand (translated from the Japanese release) - source: prtimes#1308781 - source_url: https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000044.000116479.html - confidence: medium - basis: official_statement - period: Release published 2026-07-03 - caveat: The disclaimers and limitations are inherited in Pin One. The use cautions and doctor-check recommendation are the party’s general statements; this card gives no health or suitability judgment
F-005: The same publisher’s 2026-06-29 launch release says sales had started; defines a new lodging plan combining a stay with friends and in-room self-care; says CELLZERO SMART appears on a self-esthetic brand’s machine-introduction page; lists disposable paper pants and bra, face packs for the number of users, cream with alternative gel, and a full instruction set; and says the plan does not guarantee the machine’s beauty or health effects or constitute a partnership, joint project, or supervision arrangement with the named brand (translated from the Japanese release) - source: prtimes#1252740 - source_url: https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000043.000116479.html - confidence: medium - basis: official_statement - period: Release published 2026-06-29 - caveat: An earlier release by the same publisher, limited to its launch-time self-description. Its accessory and definition wording differs from the anchor (see F-003), so the card does not choose between them. The brand-page appearance is the party’s statement; this card does not verify that page (see J-Units)
F-006: The same publisher’s 2026-06-29 release describes lodging buildings including an approximately 200-year-old kominka, a nagayamon gate building, Nordic tents, and jūbako (source term); it says travel by car from the Tokyo direction takes approximately 70 to 90 minutes and travel from Futtsu-Chuo IC takes approximately 15 minutes by car (translated from the Japanese release) - source: prtimes#1252740 - source_url: https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000043.000116479.html - confidence: medium - basis: official_statement - period: Release published 2026-06-29 - caveat: The approximately 200-year statement is the party’s approximation, with no building-registration corroboration. The access statement also appears in the anchor release (prtimes#1308781); one publisher does not create corroboration. These are party self-descriptions, not third-party verified
F-007: The same publisher’s 2026-04-01 solo-travel-plan update says demand for solo travel and women’s travel is rapidly increasing; says it expanded existing solo-plan amenities and added a travel skin-care set; says 15 rescued cats live there alongside dogs, goats, and Silkie chickens; says staff reside on site 24 hours; and says free shuttle service is available from the nearest station (translated from the Japanese release) - source: prtimes#27300 - source_url: https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000036.000116479.html - confidence: medium - basis: official_statement - period: Release published 2026-04-01 - caveat: The demand-increase claim is the party’s industry observation with no cited source in the release (see J-Units). The 15-cat wording is the party’s statement at that release’s time and does not establish later change. Promotional information is not third-party verified; the shared women-oriented axis does not make the release corroboration for the anchor
F-008: The same publisher’s 2026-07-08 release says that the firefly season ended on 5 July (month 7), 2026; its facility self-description calls the site a small satoyama village where rescued cats live (translated from the Japanese release) - source: prtimes#1361809 - source_url: https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000045.000116479.html - confidence: medium - basis: official_statement - period: Release published 2026-07-08 - caveat: A later release by the same publisher, after the anchor’s news date. It has no direct connection to the plan and is limited to facility-self-description and chronological background. The self-coined label 猫治村 is not treated as an established place name (see Internal Citation Chain)
J-Units
- [J-001] The 2026-04-01 release’s demand-increase and women-traveler-growth statements are the party’s industry observation, with no stated source or data basis in that release; they are not independently verifiable facts (prtimes#27300) [F-007].
- [J-002] The anchor and launch releases’ narrative descriptions of a quiet satoyama night, treating one’s body more carefully, and not rushing to complete things are the party’s interpretation of experience and promotional narrative, not survey or research conclusions (prtimes#1308781 / prtimes#1252740).
- [J-003] The statement that CELLZERO SMART appears on the outside brand’s machine-introduction page is the party’s description of a third-party brand page. This card does not verify the page and carries the releases’ simultaneous non-partnership, non-joint-project, and non-supervision statement (prtimes#1308781) [F-004].
P-Units
- [P-001] The 2026-07-08 release says that it plans to provide seasonal guidance again in the following early summer while monitoring satoyama conditions. That is a plan, not an established fact (prtimes#1361809).
- [P-002] The anchor and launch releases propose this plan as a new option for group stays. That is the party’s proposal and aspirational wording, not a market-position fact (prtimes#1308781 / prtimes#1252740).
Three Perspectives on the Same Event / 「同一イベント・三つの視点」 / 同一事件・三個視角
- For readers in Taiwan: carry the party-stated price, limited-period scope, and no-current-effectiveness-assumption scope together when relaying the campaign [F-001][F-002]. Do not convert the several JPY 15,000 wordings into Taiwan dollars or a total price.
- For readers in Japan: the negative statements — no effect guarantee, no staff treatment, and no partnership — come from the releases themselves [F-004]. Keep them when citing the plan, and identify which release supplied the differing accessory and definition wordings [F-003][F-005].
- For industry watchers: this is a case of a satoyama lodging facility promoting an in-room self-care machine through a limited-period same-price campaign. There is no sales-performance figure or third-party verification; this card does not endorse a market effect and can only be used to observe lodging-industry promotional narrative.

- CONTEXTUALIZE → ANK-2026-07-22-006 (the positioning card for Washinmura’s self-coined-word announcement event, published 2026-08-25): an account of another public event by the same publisher, Washinmura Co., Ltd. The later release prtimes#1361809 uses the party’s label 猫治村, which can be compared with that card. The existing card is likewise party-published (wire_self); the two cards concern different events and do not carry figures across. Link: https://ainews.idaeo.ai/zh/idaeo/ANK-2026-07-22-006

> Anti-fabrication statement: the five items listed in §Sources — the full texts of four Washinmura Co., Ltd. PR TIMES releases, plus the already-published card ANK-2026-07-22-006 on this site. Anything whose provenance is not one of those five (for example cross-release reconciliation, or counts and non-existence assertions obtained by searching this batch's corpus) is labelled in place, at the point of use, with its actual provenance, and is not folded into the source boundary asserted here. No figure absent from the sources was generated: the card does not calculate or write a period-total difference, average, or currency conversion absent from the source packs. In this English edition, source wording is rendered in English and marked as translated from the Japanese release; translations are this card’s unofficial renderings, while character-exact source wording is in the source releases and the zh / ja editions. Quotations that name this card’s own title, section labels, editorial terms, concept names, or English renderings are not source quotations. JPY 15,000 is always given with the party-stated-price and limited-period scopes. Promotional information is marked item by item as not third-party verified, and plans are marked item by item as not realized. The four releases share one publisher and do not corroborate one another. This card is party-published (wire_self), disclosed in the pins, §Scope, and Selection Method. No Wikidata Q is attached (better empty than false).
