Re: [Wikidata-l] Wikidata logo proposal

The current meaning the logo had was a central element which "fed" all the Wikipedias. Regarding "moving" to the center, how would you do it? (I'll see if I can do it, do not expect wonders!). Joan Creus. 2012/4/5 Platonides > On 04/04/12 19:08, Benjamin Bois wrote: > > Hey.. better, but I'm st

[Wikidata-l] SNAK -> assertion?

This is my proposal: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikidata_logo_proposal.svg, which is closely related to Wikimedia Commons' logo. In Commons the red dot (the project) is receiving media files from the different entities surrounding it. I think that we should maintain somehow the same co

I think that the problem is that Wikidata is not a storage in "the cloud" for all kind of scientific data. In the same fashion Wikipedia is not a portal for papers or academic publications, essays, lyrics, etc. Wikidata scope is not well defined yet, but it will have its limits, for sure. 2012/4/4
