Hoi,
I have found consistently that many of the links in Wikipedia are to false
friends. This happens particularly in lists. Given that many lists are
imported into Wikidata as they are, typically both projects share the same
errors. For the list for awardees of the Polk award, I have scrutinised the
data, blogged and tweeted about this phenomenon. This is very much in scope
of this research project.
What I have regularly proposed is to link blue and red links to Wikidata
items. This will have a similar impact as the effect of linking interwiki
links in Wikidata in stead of native links in the Wikipedias. Additionally
this enables another type of research; inconsistencies between Wikipedias.
Thanks,
GerardM

.
* Meeyoung Cha from IBS & KAIST and
her collaborators Cheng-Te Li and
Yi-Ju Lu from the National Cheng Kung University (Taiwan) and Jing Ma
from Hong Kong Baptist University, will be contributing to this
project. We are thankful to them for agreeing to spend their time and
expertise on this project in the coming 3 months and to those of you
who have already worked with us as we were shaping the proposal for
this project and are planning to continue your contributions to this
program.
