Andy and others --

Would it be helpful if I did a slide deck that has this as a printable / projectable document? I could generate that if it might be useful.

Looks good! I will certainly make use of this in my training sessions..

I would move your step 7 above the current step 5.

I would also add a note that other statements should be added, not
least P31 ("instance of") => Q5 ("human").

It's good practise to check for duplicates before creating an item,
but I think it's safe to omit that step, in a case like this, in a
simple guide for Wikidata newbies.

Thanks for putting in the effort.
