@Antonin : You're right, I now remember Magnus Knuth's message on this list about GlobalFactSync https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/DBpedia/GlobalFactSync, a lite version of CrossWikiFact, if I understood correctly. I also remember that his message did not trigger many reactions...

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.This surprises me. Are there any statistics somewhere on the rate of Wikipedia's infoboxes fully parsed ?
That was more or less the goal of the CrossWikiFact project, which was unfortunately not very widely supported: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/DBpedia/CrossWikiFact
It's still not clear to me why this got so little support - it looked like a good opportunity to collaborate with DBpedia.
