Hoi,

Let me be simple. I do not know what you are talking about.

What I do know is that at Wikidata we harvest information from all Wikipedias. It does include en,wp but it is not exclusively so. It does include the Russian, the Chinese, the Arabic ... all Wikipedias. As you know, the first operational task for Wikidata is to replace the old inter language links. A next objective is to include all the information that is currently held in info boxes.

These are published objectives, they are known for the last two years and, for the last two years work has been underway to do just that. What I am asking for is your research data that identifies people who are associated with articles, not user profiles, so that we will be more complete, more correct sooner rather than later.

PS Wikidata has a thing against including user page information.

Thanks,

GerardM

I have huge issues with using wikidata in this fashion. The blp and gender guidelines on wiki.en have evolved over a very long time for some very good rreasons.

I invite you to explain for example how culturally appropriate your approach is for non western cultures with more than two genders.

Or the usefulness of describing the gender of prominent transgendered people using a website with no policy against attack pages.

cheers

Currently there are 150.801 females for 755.747 males known to Wikidata. Yes, you can change the queries to find only female painters or females with India as their nationality.. or males obviously
