Shall we create a Wikidata vs {Freebase, DBpedia, YAGO} comparison table on meta (or enwiki)?
Not a "versus" style table. That sends the wrong signals when these services are fundamentally complimentary .
Yes. I'd prefer a short text - something we can add to the existing FAQ. (That's also what I have so far.)
I actually like tables myself and don't see them as being adversarial, but I'm happy to contribute to the comparison in whatever form it takes.
Having a matrix/table: a) focuses people on choosing a few important dimensions to summarize and b) makes any holes in the comparison matrix obvious so they can be filled in (which is much harder when parsing text).
