Hoi,
When a position is taken that is manifestly wrong, it is worse to desist.
Andy I like you too but calling someone a dick because he does not agree
with you and calls bullshit on the points taken, the examples supplied is
not in the best tradition of our projects.
Wikidata is NOT there to serve the English Wikipedia at the expense of its
own integrity. A wish has been formulated to support redirects by
WIkipedians while Wikidata has been EXPLICITLY designed NOT to support
redirects but more importantly parts of articles.
If a project does not have or want to have an article on a given subject,
Wikidata can provide information when used in combination with the
Reasonator.
Articles are about a subject and CONSEQUENTLY they should have categories
and info boxes that are in line with the subject of the article. The
ARTICLE 2014 ISIL beheading incidents
<http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17985279> for instance is NOT about a human
and it should NOT have a category "deaths in 2014" or any other information
that is particular to one person. The same is true for "Death of Alice
Gross"; it is NOT about Alice Gross. When an article is just text and
nobody cares about such consistencies, fine. However, you want articles
like this linked and someone else is to clean up such mess. This prevents
automated processes, it is bad practice and it is part of the same
practice/school of thought whereby we are to have redirects ... Hell no!
Please reconsider your arguments and please do not be a dick yourself..
Thanks,
GerardM

Gerard,
I like you; but you're being a dick. Please desist.
