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?
It is a way to deal with one of the many ways Wikipedias currently make use of Wikidata's data. We need to accommodate them. It is not a judgement call if any of them are best. So no they are not expected to do that for everything by hand.
