Perhaps automated constraint checking would be simpler to set up?
We have this for some properties already:
http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property_talk:P21
For population, for example, the check could be "is greater than or
equal to 0, is a whole number"

A few points:
* Population should not be negative, would be nice if you can define a
min or max value in the property
* it's possible to enter 42.23
* if entering 23,42 the result is only 23
* if I try to enter "twenty three" there is no hint that only numbers
are accepted
* someone should try to add a string via the api

Hey everyone!
We have a first version of the quantities datatype available for
testing now on
test.wikidata.org. It still has a few rough edges that
we need to fix before we can enable it on Wikidata but I wanted to
give you a chance to test it now already and help find issues early.
Here's a test property using the quantities datatype:

Cheers
