It is stated that WR 111d = [EML2004] Star D = [FNG2005] 3, but this is wrong. There are two stars to disentangle here:
1) WR 111d = [FNG2005] 3
2) [EML2004] Star D = [FNG2005] D = 2MASS J18083951-2024359
The Wolf Rayet is confirmed in [FNG2005] = [2005ApJ...622L..49F] and Paul Crowther's Galactic Wolf Rayet Catalogue (https://pacrowther.staff.shef.ac.uk/WRcat/details.php?id=355) to be the same as [FNG2005] 3. Which can be clearly separated in figure 1 from [FNG2005] from the D star (also it is a different star in their tables), which by the way has that letter because [FNG2005] inherited this from [EML2004] = [2004ApJ...616..506E].
Also, one can see that in figure 1 of [EML2004] = [2004ApJ...616..506E] the D star is the brightest at the core of the SGR 1806–20 cluster and that the star [FNG2005] 3 can be clearly separated in their images, which means that [EML2004] was in principle able to discriminate between both objects and didn't named the core of the cluster as D but a specific star in it.
I recommend removing the [EML2004] Star D identifier from the WR 111d page and perhaps creating a page for [EML2004] Star D = [FNG2005] D.
