Hell yeah. Thanks Lydia. I'm *really* excited about this. Please thank the Wikidata team for me :-)

Hey :)

Not long ago we enabled language links via Wikidata for Wikisource. This seems to have gone rather smoothly. Thanks to everyone who helped! But as you know this was only the start. What is actually more interesting is access to the data in Wikidata like the date of birth of an author or the year a book was published. We have planned this for February 25th (unless any issues arise). You will then be able to use the data in your articles. I hope this will open up a lot of new opportunities for you.

If you have any questions https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikisource is a good place to find help.

Cheers Lydia
