I chatted with Mark when he was first appointed and told him to look at the
Wikidata game as a reference :)

[Wikimediauk-l] Gender Balance (MySociety)

[Richard Symonds]

Hi all,

Has anyone else seen the email from MySociety about the Gender Balance game
they've created? See
https://www.mysociety.org/2015/07/30/introducing-gender-balance-the-game-that-sorts-the-women-from-the-boys/
for more about it.

It appears they also have a database which we may be free to upload to
Wikidata...

Hi Richard,

I've been talking to EveryPolitician about this. Matching to Wikidata
will pose something of a challenge but we're on it :-)

He might be, possibly... although I'll grant you it's unlikely. I wonder if
EveryPolitican records him?

Hmmm wikidata doesn't appear to pick up on the category Nonexistent people
used in hoaxes thus it thinks Kasongo Ilunga is real:

Hi all,

But there is fictional human and fictional character
