Dear all, I thank you for your efforts. The discussion about the strategy papers of Wikidata and about Wikidata language support has stopped to be edited several days ago. You can find them https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikidata/Strategy/2019 and https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Language_barriers_input. I ask if Ms. Léa Lacroix or Ms. Lydia Pintscher can integrate the results of these pages to the existing reports so that they can be finalized.
