I guess we disagree. I don't see this issue as being particularly political or social. That seems like a very odd distinction to make.
Because in that approach, how would I have the technical information to know, if I was editing Wikipedia, how to add or update this information?
I don't get this distinction -- or the lack of communication -- about these types of changes. Changes which are having a pretty significant impact on Wikipedia editing. Without discussion that I have seen.
If this "Wikidata can only provide solutions" approach (as you describe it) is taken I think that does a HUGE disservice to to intersectionality and potential outreach and future growth of Wikidata as both a platform and as a semantic backbone of Wikipedia, English or otherwise.
I totally disagree with this, as is probably evident. I am actually really sad to read this.
So I guess if Wikidata is seen as purely technical there is no place for end-user issues. Which is what I see this as? That also doesn't really seem logical.
