Hoi,
I am working towards the point where all the people who died in 2014 are
known as such in Wikidata. At this time all the people of the en,wp who are
in the category "2014 deaths" are included. At this time there are over
2900 people known in Wikidata as to have died in 2014 [1]. It uses the
AutoList tool by Magnus Manske.
Amir Ladsgroup wrote a routine that checks against the en,wp and adds
missing deaths to Wikidata. He will also compare the values known to
Wikidata with what is known at Wikipedia and report it [2]
In this way there is the opportunity to improve quality in both Wikipedia
and Wikidata. That is one objective. If you can come up with more things we
can do in a similar way, please consider this.. the technology to report on
differences between a Wikipedia and Wikidata is starting to become a
reality.
At this time the job of Amir has run a few times.. What is needed is better
integration with practices on the English Wikipedia and a proper place for
this report. Obviously this report can be run against any Wikipedia that
has a category for the deaths of 2014. It will take some modifications
though.
Thanks,
GerardM
