Given Lydias post I wonder if it is to be expected that editors on
Wikipedia shall manually import statements from Wikidata, as this is what
can be read out of this thesis. This will create a huge backlog of work on
all Wikipedias, and I can't see how we possibly can do this. For the moment
we have a huge backlog on sources on nowiki, and adding a lot of additional
manual work will not go very well with the community.
What is the plan, can Lydia or some else please clarify?

would really like to see
the analysis written out that ends in this conclusion. It is very tempting,
but the idea don't scale.
We have now about 5-10 000 articles per active user. Those users have a
huge backlog of missing references. If they shall manage statements in
addition to their current backlog, then they will simply be overwhelmed.

Hey folks :)
Charlie has been working on concepts for making it possible to edit
Wikidata from Wikipedia and other wikis. This was her bachelor thesis. She
has now published it:

I am very happy she put a lot of thought and work into figuring out all
the complexities of the topic and how to make this understandable for
editors. We still have more work to do on the concepts and then actually
have to implement it. Comments welcome.
Cheers
Lydia
