It's looking good! I have two questions right now.

Firstly, technically, you're helping Wikidata directly, and only helping
Wikipedia indirectly. What is the thought process behind saying "Help
Wikipedia!" and not something more accurate?

I find it a little frustrating to not know *how* it is that I've helped
Wikipedia. I thought "Sure, I'll help Wikipedia! No, he didn't go the Pratt
Institute. Oh, well, what did I do?". It actually slightly disinclined me
from wanting to do it again, because I wasn't really sure what I'm doing.
On the other hand, you don't want to be overly verbose and show people too
much information. Have you thought about adding a prompt to get more
information for those that are curious?

These questions are kind of idealistic and not so practical, but I enjoy
being able to take off my very practical product owner hat from time to
time. :-)
