Hoi,
The notion that Commonists are second class contributors is plain wrong. It
has not been said, certainly not by me. Commons as a project provides a
service to all projects in a similar way that Wikidata does. When you
compare those two to the "other" projects, the others are insular what they
do from a community point of view is largely irrelevant in the wider
community.
It is exactly the fact that Commons and Wikidata are sharing their
resources that gives them the potential to be a more social project, more
inclusive. It already has the shared relevance, when its community "gets
it" that its actions have a wider, more global effect, it may become more
sociable and thereby more effective.
Thanks.
