Hi all,
Is there a list somewhere of instances where the "mainstream" media has used Wikidata as a source?
I found two thus far:
[1] BuzzFeed checking if 2016 really was a bad year (relatively speaking) in terms of celebrity deaths.
[2] Le monde checking if 27 is really a dangerous year for artists to be alive.
Pointers to further instances of Wikidata being used as a source in mainstream media (or indeed in very prominent applications) would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Aidan
P.S., I also found a link to a Wiki page with lists of press coverage, but unfortunately it hasn't been updated in recent years [3]. There I found some articles about Histopedia, etc., in the Guardian.

Hi Aidan,
I recall a discussion regarding the evaluation of occupations of people mentioned in the Panama Papers. I think this was discussed (critically) in Le Monde or Le Monde online.
And there is the Academy Award page by FAZ online: http://www.faz.net/aktuell/feuilleton/kino/academy-awards-die-oscar-gewinner...
Best,
Markus
