Hi Markus, GeratdM and Wikidatans,
Quality generativity unfoldingly in Wikidata will be key for future creative Wikidata-Wikipedia achievements, and even decades and centuries ahead. Is there any focus on comparing Wikimedia "assets" in Wikidata itself or by the WMF, in terms of "quality generativity" rather than the term "quality control," that might both include the generative wiki conversation between individuals as well as a machine learning component?
I'm sharing a Lightning Talk at the WMF in SF, in a Google Hangout too, on Tuesday 11/24 (https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Lightning_Talks) re donating CC WUaS to CC Wikidata and may touch on this since WUaS seeks to become the Harvard of the internet in all languages, with online accrediting universities in each of all ~200 countries' main languages (eg accrediting on MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC).
Thanks for this Wikidata conversation, Scott MacLeod http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ On Nov 21, 2015 8:21 AM, "Jane Darnell" jane023@gmail.com wrote:
Sorry Thad, I am just a control freak who felt overwhelmed when I took my first steps on Wikidata. My apologies for assuming that most Wikipedians are like me.

That probably is not the best wording to win some hearts and minds, while working towards mutual goals.
who like to think their articles are the endpoint in any internet search on their article subjects. We really need to suppress the idea that the data they have curated so painstakingly over the years is less valuable because it is not on Wikidata or disagrees with data on Wikidata in some way. We can and should let these people continue to thrive on Wikipedia without pressuring them to look at their data on Wikidata ...
This is better, your saying everyone's input is worthwhile and valuable.
, which might confuse and overwhelm them.
Careful, you seem to allude that they are incapable of understanding. Not the ideal choice of words. :)
Please generate less animosity towards others by using thoughtful word choices. (In essence, there are no others...instead we are one whole family. Humans.) Use helpful unbiased communication and collaboration with one another.
Thanks.
