Hoi,
This is phenomenal :) When journalists find a benefit adding labels in languages like Finnish, they may find it benefitting them in other languages as well. This would be awesome in so many ways. Having them add items as well preferably with some statements would be of additional value.

One of the topics frequently returning to the news are all kinds of awards that are conferred to people. Both the awards and the people are relevant as part of a list that is easily updated everywhere as a consequence. It becomes even possible to be regularly updated on the basis of changes with specific properties..

This is a first as far as I am aware and I could not be more happy about what I expect for our future.
Thanks,

Hey everyone :)

One of the major use cases we have for Wikidata (next to providing general purpose data about the world and acting as a hub that connects many different databases) is concept tagging. So far not much has happened in that space it seems compared to the other two. Just recently I came across a tweet talking about the use of Wikidata for exactly that at the Finnish Broadcasting Company and I asked for some more details. Micke has now written down what they're doing and how they did it in a blog post: http://wikimedia.fi/2016/04/15/yle-3-wikidata/ Great use of Wikidata's concepts and stable IDs.


Cheers
Lydia
