While the reification makes sense, we thought that it looked a bit too much like rdf:Statement. w:Berlin s:Population Berlin:Statement1 . Berlin:Statement1 rdf:type o:Statement . Perhaps you could rename o:Statement to o:Fact instead?

But it's not a fact. It's a claim someone makes.

That may seem like a fine distinction, but it's really fundamental to
understanding how Wikidata/Wikibase is different from DBpedia, Freebase, Cyc, etc.

Wikidata doesn't collect facts. It collects statements (sourced claims).
