Given Lydias post I wonder if it is to be expected
that editors on Wikipedia
shall manually import statements from Wikidata, as this is what can be read
out of this thesis. This will create a huge backlog of work on all
Wikipedias, and I can't see how we possibly can do this. For the moment we
have a huge backlog on sources on nowiki, and adding a lot of additional
manual work will not go very well with the community.
What is the plan, can Lydia or some else please clarify?
It is a way to deal with one of the many ways Wikipedias currently
make use of Wikidata's data. We need to accommodate them. It is not a
judgement call if any of them are best. So no they are not expected to
do that for everything by hand.
Cheers
