Hoi,
Again, what is done is harvest from everywhere. Such actionar are not
exclusive to Wikidata, it is also done by DBpedia, they have been longer at
it and at this time they are better at it. What I hope is that there is
quality data in the research done in the past. Making this available will
improved quality now.
When Wikipedias have different data about the same item, there will be a
process to consoledate it There is no such process at this time. If there
is data where you feel that it is "problematic" and it cannot be easily
retrieved from Wikipedia, you can opt to not make it available in Wikidata.
At this time more than 50% of all items have one or no statement. From a
quality point of view, it is poor but improving. Again, if your data is
problematic fine, do consider that we are interested in every subject. Not
only people. So if you have data that can be shared please do, it helps.
>From where I stand data that "cannot" be shared but can be easily harvested
anyway is openly available. Making this into a big circus does not help. It
just supports the unease that many have about academic issues.
Thanks,
GerardM
