Ok, I got the point. What you probably need to consider is that focusing
on one goal does not mean at all that we have to dismiss all the others. At
least, *I* do not think so.
You want to focus on research? Fine, do it. I'd like to focus on templates.
That's fine too, I guess. We're both
Hoi,
I am not in research. I am into making Wikidata into a reasonable resource.
To achieve this I add gazillions of statements and I am happy when people
focus on templates. However without the data, templates that make use of
Wikidata are niche applications. Without some mature understanding of

It is possible to represent linguistic patterns as items but it needs some

What is the point of Wiktionary, WIkipedia, Wikispecies et al as a WMF

Wikidata already provides an application in being the vehicle for

I may be stupid, but for me there is no reason in there that will help us
in what we do.
For me reasons to wikidatify multi media files are:
- bring labels to Commons that are inherently multi lingual
- this will enable search in multiple languages
- it will make it easy to
Actually, this is important - it is just that may be extended also to all

Gerard -- It's not just about getting data out of Wikidata, it's also
about getting data into Wikidata. Being able to round-trip what you've
got already is a minimum requirement for the data model being flexible
