Hi all,
The Research team at the Wikimedia Foundation has officially started a new Formal Collaboration https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Formal_collaborations with the *Institute of Basic Science* (IBS) from South Korea to work collaboratively on *Discovering content inconsistencies between Wikidata and Wikipedia * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Discovering_content_inconsistencies_between_Wikidata_and_Wikipedia as part of the *Knowledge Integrity program* https://research.wikimedia.org/knowledge-integrity.html.
Here are a few pieces of information about this collaboration that we would like to share with you:
* We aim to keep the research documentation for this project in the corresponding research page on meta https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Discovering_content_inconsistencies_between_Wikidata_and_Wikipedia. * 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. * I act as the point of contact for this research in the Wikimedia Foundation. Please feel free to reach out to me (directly, if it cannot be shared publicly) if you have comments or questions about the project.
Best,
*Diego Sáez TrumperResearch Scientist User:Diego_(WMF) https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Diego_(WMF) *
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

Sounds interesting, please could you please provide some links?

Yes, I agree with the general idea. In fact, using Wikidata as a pivot to understand inconsistencies across different Wikipedias is the next step for this project.
Thanks, Diego
