If I want the most current/accurate VIAF ids, should I be looking at Wikidata or Wikipedia?
When I look at the EN Wikipedia pages for these two topics: http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q9094 http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q9095 both of which have property P214, the VIAF identifer, the second displays the VIAF identifier, but the first doesn't and the one that does display the identifier appears to be using information from the embedded AuthorityControl template, not Wikidata. My concern is that if the Wikidata VIAF data isn't being viewed/edit on Wikipedia, it can easily be invisibly wrong like the infamous Persondata template. Tom
