Hoi,
When we have no data at all, we have a 100% failure rate. When we import
data from Wikipedia we improve on that. When we copy by hand there is an
additional failure rate because people make mistakes.
Given the ever increasing number of external sources that are referenced to
from many items (often these references are the only statements), it should
be not that hard to create bots that compare "our" data with "their" data.
The discrepancies found indicate that their is a reason for attention. When
there is no discrepancy it can still be wrong..
My point is obvious; adding data to the best of our abilities is to be
preferred over no data at all.
Thanks,
GerardM
