I guess we disagree. I don't see this issue as being particularly political or social. That seems like a very odd distinction to make.
Because in that approach, how would I have the technical information to know, if I was editing Wikipedia, how to add or update this information? I don't get this distinction -- or the lack of communication -- about these types of changes. Changes which are having a pretty significant impact on Wikipedia editing. Without discussion that I have seen. If this "Wikidata can only provide solutions" approach (as you describe it) is taken I think that does a HUGE disservice to to intersectionality and potential outreach and future growth of Wikidata as both a platform and as a semantic backbone of Wikipedia, English or otherwise. I totally disagree with this, as is probably evident. I am actually really sad to read this. So I guess if Wikidata is seen as purely technical there is no place for end-user issues. Which is what I see this as? That also doesn't really seem logical. - Erika *Erika Herzog* Wikipedia *User:BrillLyle <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:BrillLyle>* On Sun, Oct 9, 2016 at 12:08 PM, Egon Willighagen < egon.willigha...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Sun, Oct 9, 2016 at 5:25 PM, Brill Lyle <wp.brilll...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> How on EARTH could this be the wrong place to talk about this?
