Thanks for mansplaining agility management and Wikidata. Thanks so much. I was uneducated and now I know! I am a big evangelist of Wikidata, although I am definitely coming from the Wikipedia editing side. I am an active contributor and supporter. I don't get this siloed perspective of the pro

Hi Vladimir and Thad, As to Thad's suggestion: I think this is a bad idea, as it ties Black Lunch Table to Visual artists of the African diaspora in a misleading way. These artists are not specifically Black Lunch Table artists -- they are part of the effort to address a diversity gap on the vari
