Yeah it would be awesome if Wikidata could hack
together a OpenRefine
compatible "reconcilation service" !
Librarians use OpenRefine by the way ! (wink wink) ;) More data, more

What you'd need is an OpenRefine compatible "reconcilation service"
provided by Wikidata that OpenRefine could use and then it'd allow you to
match an entire column in spreadsheet, set a threshold for automatic
matches, review candidates for those below the threshold, etc.
