Dear all,
Denny and I are happy to report that our first general overview article on Wikidata has now been accepted for publication at Communications of the ACM. \o/ The article has not appeared yet, but we have published our accepted manuscript [1]. The final article should be published with Open Access, and thus be available at the official CACM website without subscription, but this may still take a bit of time (and some copyediting).
We hope that this will help to introduce many more people to the project. It was written with a very wide audience in mind. All statistics in the article are quite recent (based on the dumps + daily dumps up to Feb 20 2014), but we will try to update them once more before publication (if at all possible).
Cheers,
Markus

Hoi, If you have not done so, it is well worth a read. It has details that I have seen for the first time. Thanks, GerardM
