Hoi,

When the situation is often raised and when there is no answer.. as in not at all. The facts contradict what you say.

I have asked often for statistics. I have often raised this aberration. Truly when I have data to offer, the example of Freebase is enough to turn me off.

I also have made the case why the reluctance of including data is wrong. I have even given a mathematical approach for this and all you hear is

silence

Yes, good work is done. But it is all about the mechanics it is not about looking after the database and its quality and quantify. Leaving all of this only to the "community" is arguably a bad idea.

Thanks,

GerardM

This has nothing to do with this thread.
It is not taboo. There is
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Primary_sources_tool and
https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-primary-sources/status.html. (The
latter seems to be having some issues right now and Tpt or Denny will
need to give it a kick it seems.)

Cheers
Lydia
