[Wikimedia-l] New Google interface to Wikipedia

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
Wikidata has a limit of one link of a Wikipedia article to Wikidata. There
is no such thing as a compulsory minimum of two articles. As a matter a
fact there are many Wikidata items that have no relations to Wikipedia
articles. To make this even more obvious, Wikidata also links to Commons
and Wikivoyage. This means that Wikidata is not Wikipedia centric.

The main point of Wikidata is that its information can be used in our
projects, that it is useful in bringing the sum of all knowledge to our
readers. That it does. There are a number of Wikipedias who use the
information of Wikidata for their stubs. Consequently when the information
of the subjects of these articles are enriched in Wikidata, new information
flows into these Wikipedias.
Thanks,
      GerardM
