Congrats, Andy!
Coincidentally, as part of my day job, I was just looking into how we treat
ORCIDs and other author ID schemes in Wikidata. One thing I discovered
poking around by hand is that it is quite difficult to match up who has
ORCIDs (not every researcher) with who has a Wikipedia article (also not
every researcher). I think it would be great to use ORCID's API to search
for article subjects who might have ORCIDs (though I think that list would
have to be confirmed/matched by hand, because of lots of ambiguity around
similar names in ORCID if there's no other information -- maybe a task for
another Wikidata game :) )
Anyway, I'd be happy to chat offlist or somewhere else about it, but I am
glad to see they're reaching out to Wikipedia and that you're involved!
cheers,
Phoebe
