This is fantastic :) you are making amazingly fast progress!
Thank you!
I have been trying to assign the 'is a' property to David Cameron: http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q192
And make him a Politician: http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q82955
But it doesn't seem to let me select 'Politician' in the value field. How is the list of allowed values defined?
I just set this. This is possible. There is no list of allowed values. All existing items are allowed if it is a property of type item.
About relation names, 'is a' is vague, isn't it? I mean, Mr. Cameron may have political activities today, and make something else tomorrow, as he may used to do something else before. So wouldn't be interested to give more accurate information, like he have been UK prime minister since 11 may 2010 (and adding information on end date of phenomena when possible, which is not the case here). And then you may add prime minister in a "political role" category.
Now it all depends on granularity wikidata is aiming to.
