[Wikidata-l] Property specification on-wiki

Hey, (Mail mainly directed at Denny) I am wondering to what extend we want to be able to specify the "data type" of a property on wiki. Right now one can only provide which DataType to use (where DataTypes are system defined) and nothing else. Do we also want to be able to specify things such as

[Wikidata-l] A framework for policies & similar stuffs

Hi all wikidatians! I don't know if the matter has been already took in consideration but I think we should state a framework for policies, help and community pages. There's not so much to do, we already have a working model which is Commons. For example I've just seen https://www.wikidata.or

Just to clarify, my concern is about externally made databases, regardless of whether these are imported directly into Wikidata, or have been incorporated into Wikipedia first and imported into Wikidata from there. For example, the population data in Wikipedia's list of ceremonial English counties

Re: [Wikidata-l] Wikidata license (was "Introduction and some questions on Wikidata")

Maybe I've missed something because I'm coming late to this, but it surprises me that people do not seem concerned about keeping track of licenses (not just credit) for the data we'll host. At least in the EU, recently compiled or modified databases are protected by database rights. Maybe the WMF
