Hoi David,
No you are not a bully. Indeed as you suggested, "catalog" was used because
there was no agreement to be had for a new property. It is why the
repurposing of an existing property was accepted. Having data makes it
easier because it is relatively easy to replace one property (including

Thank you. This 16 year library veteran is utterly confounded by this
concept of "catalog" (does that make me a bully?). If that was the best
option available at some prior point- repurposing some property for some
new need- all well and good. But it seems clear it was (and is) not a

My understanding of identifiers and authorities is that they come from
established entities, i.e., VIAF contributors

If we can query off a BLT identifier that would be great. But the task list
items don't have unique identifiers established -- and that
These projects all have namespaces on En Wikipedia. If there was consensus
that the projects should have Wikidata namespaces -- if that is something
the community would allow and would embrace, that would be something I
would support doing.

Well, any authority record for each event could capture location, date, and
links to the invitation and any generated products externally to wiki worlds.
Would that not be constructive in the context of establishing wikidatan

So, I miss the ideas and mantra we had in Freebase. "some data is better
than no data". It really was FREE in the sense t

I disagree with "*Point 2 and 3 are for the BLT community to solve.*" In

Hi Charles,
Thanks for taking the time to try to understand the issues that are being

Hoi,
So by changing the venue and determining that another discussion is more
"important" you reduce the relevance of what is happening. You also change

Understandably you may not be aware that
I have now created a property proposal for a new property, "Wikidata
focus list", to act as a drop-in replacement for some current uses of P972.
