Hoi,
I add statements of the primary sources tool in preference to add them
myself (Primary Sources takes more time).
I am still of the strongest opinion that given the extremely
disappointing number of added statements the Primary Sources tool is a
failure.
It is sad that all the good work of Freebase is lost in this way. It is
sad that we cannot even discuss this and consider alternatives.
Thanks,
GerardM

Thomas, Denny, Sebastian, Thomas, and I have published a
paper which was
accepted for the industry track at WWW 2016. It covers the
migration
from Freebase to Wikidata. You can now read it here:

Nice!
Concluding, in a fairly short amount of time, we
have been
able to provide the Wikidata community with more than
14 million new Wikidata statements using a customizable
I must admit that, despite knowing the context, I wasn't able to
understand whether this is the number of
"mapped"/"translated"
statements or the number of statements actually added via the
primary sources tool. I assume the latter given paragraph 5.3:
after removing dupli
cates and facts already contained in Wikidata, we obtain
14 million new statements. If all these statements were
added to Wikidata, we would see a 21% increase of the num-
ber of statements in Wikidata.
I was confused about that too. "the [Primary Sources] tool has been
used by more than a hundred users who performed about
90,000 approval or rejection actions. More than 14 million
statements have been uploaded in total." I think that means that ≤
90,000 items or statements were added of 14 million available to be
add through Primary Sources tool.
