Mike Can you post some examples, please? What do you mean by "in the
text" - the Wikidata descriptions? Wikipedia content?
All: thanks
Hey,
Thanks, Georg, that's really interesting. The added feature to inspect
each element to see the items there is really useful. It's great that it

I'd like to once more draw your attention to ViziData [1]. The project
has matured a bit since I first brought it up here a few months ago.

Sounds like a reasonable idea to me. Another open source advocate in
Seattle has encouraged cooperation between Wikipedia and DBpedia. What
would it take to make Gerard's suggestion come to life?

Hoi,
This is the all singing all dancing solution. When can we have something
now .. It does not need to be integrated. It only needs to work.
Thanks,

Why wait for tomorrow when it can be done now ?

Hoi,
If we want to make visible that our data is good, you have to approach it
from another angle. Adding sources to all statements is not going to
happen. Comparing data that exists in multiple sources is comparatively
easy. When data at Wikidata is the same as a source like VIAF or IMDB, we

Hoi,
I am giving notice that I will no longer maintain the people who are known
to have died on Wikidata. There are a few reasons:
- I do not have the same amount of time I used to have
- My time is better spend on other things. Linking people through
associations is more relevant
- I
In some countries there are birth and death registers that can be

access limitations and a cost. Any idea how we could automate a check

Good day,
In my opinion it's a fine service (especially for me).
I agree with Gerard concerning the use of DBpedia.
best regards, Eric van Balkum
p.s. We can add one to the list nl.WIKIPEDIA.org/WIKI/ALBERT_WEST (or
the bot will do so)

Hoi,

DBpedia does a better job than Wikidata does and it does it because they

information from RSS. Therefor
