I agree with Lukas that the current design draws the eye to the wrong places (ie the labels, not the data). The sea of bright blue boxes is overwhelming.

### a few comments
- the properties are highlighted, not the more important values
- the items in the Identifier and Wikipedia link boxes should be aligned
- the contrast is very low in the "Berlin, Germany" line
### questions
Is there a good reason for:
the blue boxes?
the gradient in the boxes on the right?
How do you count the number of discussion topics?
Why not integrating this number in the discussion tab on the top.
Are there so many discussions on wikidata items, that a so prominent
discussion box is appropriate?
### general notes
Maybe you should consider the the theory of data-ink-ratio: "A large share of ink on a graphic should present data-information, the ink changing as the data change. Data-ink is the non-erasable core of a graphic, the non-redundant ink arranged in response to variation in the numbers represented." http://www.infovis-wiki.net/index.php/Data-Ink_Ratio
Here are two blog posts you should read: http://darkhorseanalytics.com/blog/clear-off-the-table/ http://darkhorseanalytics.com/blog/data-looks-better-naked/

Hey folks :)
I just uploaded a new mockup for Wikidata's user interface design. Thanks so much for your feedback so far!
