Lydia, Helen, and Wikidatans, Thanks and great. These tours - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Tours - and developments are a great help! ... My take on these tours is that CC Wikidata/Wikipedia's abundance - now in 288 languages - has been be informed by the ease of anyone creating articles, or editing them, and in any of 288 languages, thanks to wiki information technologies, and that future Wikipedia generativity will be facilitated by "ease of anyone creating articles," and in any language. As the amazing Wikidata (still in its infancy at around 2 years' old) and related wiki structured data develop, I hope these tours will focus on this generative ease. As a further take, and in addition to "Items and Statements, as well as References, Qualifiers, Ranks and Special Values" I'd like to see two further more general (perhaps) tours ... Articles - How to create an article now with Wikidata and the above tours (so that anyone can easily create one interlingually - e.g. an example), with, say, possibly four languages in mind, for example? Languages - Hot to add a new language (7,106 languages minus 288 languages equals 6,818 further languages to add in Wikipedia) now with Wikidata and the above tours (so that anyone can easily create one inter-lingually - e.g. an example), with, say, possibly four languages in mind, for example? ... focusing on the ease and openness of anyone simply adding them. (Does such tours or similar already exist?) And is it possible even to anticipate a tour which might inform the development of an Universal Translator (e.g. http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/WUaS_Universal_Translator) for all 7,106+ languages (e.g. http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Languages). This would indeed be a grand tour! Thanks again for this great work.
