Hi David, GerardM, Romaine, Denny, Jane, Robert, and Wikidatans,
In terms of sources in Wikidata, and an ecosystem of Wikidatas, I wonder if
you could have a look at the 'Economics' wiki, subject page at WUaS, -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Economics (accessible here at WUaS's
main, Subjects' page -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects - and
based on this template currently -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE) - in terms of book
citations and references and Wikidata. The 'Economics' page is a good, WUaS
example of a MIT OCW- and Yale OYC-course-centric, academic, growing,
subject page, which soon might divide into a Micro- and Macro-economics'
wiki subject page, for example. How would such Wikidata ecosystem
articulations of citations and references emerge in all 7,105 languages,
for example? WUaS is currently usually the American Anthropological
Association citation practices, but with WUaS in Wikidata, I'm assuming
these citation practices will/could occur in MediaWiki and SemanticWiki. As
a real life example of a potential Wikidata, how would WUaS's Subject
pages' book citations, and related, find form in the emergent ecosystem of
Wikidatas?
(WUaS seeks to become the MIT / Harvard of the internet and in all 7,105+
languages and 204+ nation states, and such book citation practices, and
related, will obviously be a foundation, and, again, just received the
'green light' from the state of California to begin the accreditation
process, toward online, C.C., MIT OCW-centric, university degrees, first in
English).
Cheers and thanks,
Scott

Hi all,
The Guidelines for sourcing statements [1] had a 72% support. There are
still two issues that were raised during the discussion that need to be
addressed:
- Sources used in Wikipedia (templates cite doi cite book, etc): should
they be stored in Wikidata to be shared across all Wikipedias?
- Source entity type: since we now know that there is going a specific
type of item that will not have links to Wikipedia and that is somehow
different from normal items, would it be meaningful to create this new
entity type?
This second issue was already discussed some time ago, but back then was
not very clear how the guidelines would look like. With the guidelines
completed, maybe now the perception has changed.
The new RfC can be found here:
