Hoi,
Yes but as it is the data in Wikipedia, particularly in lists is of by 6 to
8%. In order for Wikidata to host the data, the data first has to be
curated. Errors can be found on either side. So we have to be able to
compare in order to know what to curate. That takes an effort for us to be
effective in the curation.
I have moved a lot of data from Wikpedia to Wikidata and I refuse to edit
Wikipedia because my experience is one of more hostility at that end. What
I am looking for is collaboration not for myself to be on a lonely track
fighting windmills.
Thanks,
GerardM

Why would you want to import all the data contained in Wikipedia info
boxes? I would rather aim for the oposite, i.e. Infobox being built from
data in Wikidata. Simply because with Wikidata it is easier to capture
where the data is coming from (through the references and qualifiers) than
with Wikipedia info boxes.
