Lydia, can visualization challenge use freshly
launched graphs? I haven't
enabled them on Wikidata just to be safe, but it can be done very quickly.
See
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Graph
I see no reason that they could not. The visualizations should have some
sort of interactivity, and if I understand it correctly, that might be
doable with Graphs. And if not it could possibly be achieved by combining
it with a user script/gadget.

In the jury of the visualization challenge.

adding a statement (and allowing the full statement incl references to be
edited at the same time)
