Hoi,
When you want to share the information from Wikidata in Wikipedias, the
most obvious complaint by Wikipedians is about the quality of the data.
Even though the quality of each individual project is ok for a work in
progress, it is not as good as it could be. There are no janitor processes
whereby links between Wikipedia articles are compared with relations in
Wikidata. We do not actively look for false friends and we do not suggest
the inclusion of missing relations to categories and info boxes.
When we take janitorial functions seriously, the consistency and quality of
our data will markedly improve.The helpful suggestions for new Wikipedias
become not only acceptable for bigger Wikipedias but it will become a
no-brainer not to use them.
Thanks,
GerardM
