good point, Sam, imo actually the best so far :-)

Let me comment on the original question. The correct citation is typically the oldest one known to the researcher, not the most popular.

Hoi, I am truly happy that Wikidata is its own master. When a Wikipedia has certain policies it is welcome to it. As long as they do not use Wikidata to improve the quality of its content [1] and by the same token improve
the
data at Wikidata, I am not interested what a Wikipedia does. Thanks, GerardM

Wikidata appears to allow original research and the inference of gender from the name or photo of the subject. It will be a cold day in hell
before
en.wiki allows this, see [[WP:RS]] and .[[WP:OR]].

But there have also been lots of corrections. As far as painters go, the data is really pretty decent now. It helps that it's really easy to check the state of Wikidata against the contents of Wikipedia categories. As
more
people become aware of how to make such checks, I think we start to
see a
cleanup of categories and (I hope) a better categorization system
starting
to form that is more in line with Wikidata property class trees.

Data has been sucked from GND to wikidata via a number of routes, principally VIAF. See
Wikidata:Bot_requests#Import_GND_identifiers_from_VIAF_dump for example

Hoi, The blog states that a lot of data was sucked into Wikidata from
GND.
As far as I am aware that never happened. So its assertion is wrong. Thanks, GerardM
