Thomas, Denny, Sebastian, Thomas, and I have
published a paper which was
accepted for the industry track at WWW 2016. It covers the migration
from Freebase to Wikidata. You can now read it here:

Nice!
Concluding, in a fairly short amount of time, we
have been
able to provide the Wikidata community with more than
14 million new Wikidata statements using a customizable
I must admit that, despite knowing the context, I wasn't able to
understand whether this is the number of "mapped"/"translated"
statements
or the number of statements actually added via the primary sources tool. I
assume the latter given paragraph 5.3:
after removing dupli
cates and facts already contained in Wikidata, we obtain
14 million new statements. If all these statements were
added to Wikidata, we would see a 21% increase of the num-
ber of statements in Wikidata.
I was confused about that too. "the [Primary Sources] tool has been
used by more than a hundred users who performed about
90,000 approval or rejection actions. More than 14 million
statements have been uploaded in total." I think that means that ≤ 90,000
items or statements were added of 14 million available to be add through
Primary Sources tool.
