Language links are commented out to stop bots from consistently adding the same link, while also preventing it to appear under "In other languages" in the sidebar.
This is essentially an inproper way for those who only want to prevent the bots from re-adding a link on one page, while not caring about pages with the same content in other languages. This method is mentioned in the following section on an en.wikipedia help page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Interlanguage_links#Bots_and_links_to_and…

Subject: Re: [Wikidata-l] Impact of Wikidata phase I
I am surprised by the amount of commented out language links -- there seem to be plenty of them, and I do not fully understand why.
Heya folks,
We applied to the Knight News Challenge to push Wikidata even further
during a second year of development. You can find out more here:
http://blog.wikimedia.de/2012/06/25/wikidata-applies-for-the-knight-news-ch…
and see our proposal here:
http://newschallenge.tumblr.com/post/25575917516/wikidata-as-a-central-free…
It would be awesome if you could support the proposal by clicking
"like" on the proposal page. Keep your fingers crossed ;-)
Cheers
Lydia

Heya folks :)
I was happy to see on twitter that Petr did a intro to Wikidata at a
Czech Wikipedia meeting. Thanks! How did it go?
If you are planning one of them too please let me know. I can give you
some tips, flyers and more and help you promote the event via the
Wikidata channels. One place where they should definitely be listed is
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Events

My name is Rexford and I wish to be part of this Wikidata development.
Where do I fit, and how can I be part?
thanks.

Hey :)
The demo system has been updated to the latest changes. It'd be great
if you could test it a bit again. The main changes that were made are
the addition of aliases (the "Also known as:" part on
http://wikidata-test-repo.wikimedia.de/wiki/Data:Q3 for example) and
diffing. Diffing only works on sitelinks so far, not on aliases,
titles and so on.

Cheers and thanks for testing

Heya folks :)
We've published a version of the data model that is less technical and
that should be easier to understand than the very detailed existing
one. You can find it at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Notes/Data_model_primer
Feedback welcome!

Heya :)
We reworked the storyboard we published a while ago for how we think
linking between Wikipedia articles should work. They can be found
here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Development/Storyboard_for_linking_…
Please have a look and give feedback. Also spread the word to others
who are not on this list if you don't mind.
Cheers

I like the modeling work here.
What relation does this have with the RDF model? Will this complex
statement with qualifications, references and all that be a RDF molecule
of some kind? Or will there be an extension of the RDF model to add
reification, or something entirely different?
Good work. I understand both the storyboard and the data model.
Thanks!
