Great work, my congratulations!


-------------------------------
Some first impressions:

Changing the language does not really work, the title of the item
pages remain in English.

http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges?setlang=de
->
(Unterschied | Versionen) . . Sweden (Q34); 17:48 . . (+32) . .
Aplasia (Diskussion | Beiträge) (Fügte websitespezifischen [itwiki]
Link hinzu:  Paesi Bassi)

although http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q34 does list de: Schweden.

I am not sure whether this is a bug or by design?

-----

In German, translation of "Item" with "Datenelement" = data element
seems odd, a data element is usually something much smaller and
atomic. See http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datenelement

Proposal: "Artikel" or "Datenobjekt"

---------

Change  http://www.wikidata.org/ to http://wikidata.org/ ?

--------

I think the logo image (upper left corner) looks a bit lost, 10%
larger perhaps? It is not even left aligned with the menu text below,
which has ample margin

--------

Finally: The "Q###" will become the public face of Wikidata, whereever
it is re-used. I think this "brand" should be less cryptic and use:

http://wikidata.org/wiki/WD34 or http://wikidata.org/wiki/W34

(providing a memnonic link to Wikidata) instead of current

http://wikidata.org/wiki/Q34
