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

More simply, there's still a long way to go until Wikidata imports all the data contained in Wikipedia infoboxes (or equivalent data from other sources), let alone the rest.

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.
