Having the image statements populated in the Wikidata items would help the performance of the http://ConceptMap.io application. I notice that many of the Wikidata items have image statements, so I'm wondering if a bot already exists that initializes these statements from the Wikipedia article thumbnails. If so, I wonder if it could be run again. If one doesn't exist, I'd be willing to write one with some guidance. I would appreciate any thoughts that you have on this subject. Thanks, James Weaver

Such a bot would be hard to run automatically, a human probably will need to check that the relationship between image and subject is indeed the intended one. Having said that, such a project already exists within Magnus Manske's Wikidata game, see https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-game/#mode=no_image Andre Engels On Thu, Apr 7, 2016 at 12:34 PM, <james(a)j1w.xyz> wrote:

Automatically bot-populating image statements from Wikidata is a bad idea, you'll end up with lots of wrong or unsuitable images. The tools that Andre and Lydia mentioned are much better, as they involve the "human element", while reducing effort to a single click.

Thanks all. Yes, I can see that my suggestion was naive :-) Thanks for the great work that you all do for this very worthy Wikidata, etc, effort! I'll be presenting a Wikidata/ConceptMap.io session entitled "Navigate All the Knowledge" at GraphConnect/London this month, so if anyone on this list will be at that conference, I'd be honored to meet up with you.
