Charlie, Lydia, Lucie, and Wikdiatans,
It's so great to have two examples of undergraduate theses that are both
Wikidata and computer science focused. (CC WUaS seeks to require an
undergraduate thesis in all countries' main languages for free best
STEM-centric CC OCW degrees, accrediting on CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and
CC Yale OYC to begin). CC WUaS seeks to develop CC MIT OCW much much
further in CC Wikdiata/Wikibase and with AI, machine learning and machine
translation - and these theses are the first! :)
Thank you for writing (and focusing) these!

Hoi,
To be honest, I think that it is important to patrol changes in the
changed data. However, accepting changes manually on all Wikipedias does
not scale. You are completely right in this. When changes occur in
Wikidata, it will result in changes everywhere in the same way as changes
at Commons.
When a change at Wikidata has been "patrolled", it is imho up to a
Wikipedia to accept patrolled changes. In this way changes only need to be
accepted once for all our projects. When they want to patrol locally as
well, it is their choice as are the consequences of the extra work load and
the negligible benefit of this effort. The problem I see is that the people
who are most likely to insist on more work are not the ones who will be do
this work.
Thanks,
GerardM

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?

Page 21, moving to manual import of statements. I
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:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Facilitating_the_use_of_Wikidata_in…
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
