Rob and Wikimedians, To further credit the work of Wikimedia community members, could we explore using the Douglas Adams' SQID example (which Markus shared with the Wikidata list recently ... [Wikidata] SQID evolved again: references http://tools.wmflabs.org/sqid/#/view?id=Q42 ) ... and build upon this incorporating the Wikipedia user pages (and your above examples) a Wikipedia crediting process anticipating/planning for all 11 billion people (an estimate from Swedish statistician Hans Rosling and many others) in all 8,000 languages. (CC World University and school is planning in parallel to be in all 8,000 languages and plan for all people on earth by 2100, as well as seek to build in Bitcoin and Blockchain in conjunction with developing best STEM CC OpenCourseWare centric law schools in all countries' main languages, even as WUaS develops CC university degrees accrediting on CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC).
This would potentially lead to further planning for integrating Wikidata/Wikibase via SQID with Wikitech/Wikimedia/Wikipedia community members' contributions and in many languages.
