I couldn't wait for a detailed description of the primary sources tool. Thanks a lot to the authors for mentioning the StrepHit soccer dataset!
Cheers,

Thomas, Denny, Sebastian, Thomas, and I have published a paper which was accepted for the industry track at WWW 2016. It covers the migration from Freebase to Wikidata. You can now read it here: http://research.google.com/pubs/archive/44818.pdf
Nice!
Concluding, in a fairly short amount of time, we have been able to provide the Wikidata community with more than 14 million new Wikidata statements using a customizable
I must admit that, despite knowing the context, I wasn't able to understand whether this is the number of "mapped"/"translated" statements or the number of statements actually added via the primary sources tool. I assume the latter given paragraph 5.3:
after removing dupli cates and facts already contained in Wikidata, we obtain 14 million new statements. If all these statements were added to Wikidata, we would see a 21% increase of the num- ber of statements in Wikidata.
I was confused about that too. "the [Primary Sources] tool has been used by more than a hundred users who performed about 90,000 approval or rejection actions. More than 14 million statements have been uploaded in total." I think that means that ≤ 90,000 items or statements were added of 14 million available to be add through Primary Sources tool.
