Hey everyone,
I seize the opportunity of this planed import to make you aware that I
started a project research on Wikiversity about Wikidata and its license :
https://fr.wikiversity.org/wiki/Recherche:La_licence_CC-0_de_Wikidata,_origine_du_choix,_enjeux,_et_prospections_sur_les_aspects_de_gouvernance_communautaire_et_d%E2%80%99%C3%A9quit%C3%A9_contributive
Admittedly, a driving force behind the launch of this project is an
intuitive aversion against CC0, and the will of the Wikidata team to
launch their lexicological solution with, without, or even against
Wiktionary communities. But as intuition is never as useful as when
feeding hypotheses of rational inquiry whose conclusions might reject
it, I thought preferable to make such a research project so I could
stand on a firmer vision of implications of this choice.
Also, whatever one might ethically feel about this topic is one thing,
legal issues is a really different matter. So far, I have didn't found
any evidence of a serious inquiry of letting people make mass import of
data within Wikidata. But hopefully I'll soon be given links showing
such an inquiry was indeed performed. Not requiring source and evidence
of a free license covering imported data is a great way to put at risk
of massive legal infraction, not only the Wikidata project, but anyone
who reuse its data.
I welcome any source that you might judge valuable for the research
project evoked above. That is anything speaking about how the license
was chose, opinion of the community regarding this choice, ins and outs
of the reuse ability, what notable partnership was ease or prevented due
to the license, how external reusers do or do not give back through one
form (better curated or enlarged set of data), or an other (technical
advises, institutional promotion, funds…), and anything you think worth
mentioning regarding Wikidata license. It would be kind to check it is
not already in the list of sources I fetched so far, see
https://fr.wikiversity.org/wiki/Recherche:La_licence_CC-0_de_Wikidata,_origine_du_choix,_enjeux,_et_prospections_sur_les_aspects_de_gouvernance_communautaire_et_d%E2%80%99%C3%A9quit%C3%A9_contributive/Wikidata_:_les_origines_du_choix_de_CC-0#Notes_et_r.C3.A9ferences
Also let me know if you would be interested with a translation. So far
I'm writing it in my native language to hasten the draft outcome and I
don't necessarily expect huge interest for the subject beyond myself.
But if people show interest, or even would like to contribute, I can
switch to Esperanto, or even the less likely demand of an English
version. ;)
Inquirely,
psychoslave

Hello Sam,
Thank you for this nice feature!
I have created a few months ago a prototype of Wikisource to Wikidata
importation tool for the French Wikisource based on the schema.org annotation I
have added to the main header template (I definitely think we should move from
our custom microformat to this schema.org markup that could be much more
structured). It's not yet ready but I plan to move it forward in the coming
weeks. A beginning of frontend to add to your Wikidata common.js is here:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Tpt/ws2wd.js
We should probably find a way to merge the two projects.
Cheers,
Thomas

Sorry, I am much more of a Wikidatan than a Wikisourcerer! I was referring to
items like this one
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q21125368
No need to be sorry, that is actually a good question and this example is even
better (I totally forgot this kind of case).
For now, this is probably better to deal with it by hands (and I'm not sure
what this tools can even do for this).
Cdlt, ~nicolas
