Craig - are you volunteering to "lovingly handcraft" the Waray encyclopedia article by article?
Suggesting people go use Wikidata seems crazy. How will Waray speakers even know that Wikidata exists? How will they know how to manipulate the interface? More readable information available in the language they speak seems a clear net gain, regardless of whether the information meets some imaginary Platonic ideal of an encyclopedia.
Before Wikipedia, the time honored, if slow, way of building an encyclopedia was for paid experts to lovingly handcraft each entry under the supervision of paid publishing staff. The reins of tradition, custom and nostalgia should have little power to retard progress in our community.
