Hey folks :)
Data quality and trust is what we're currently concentrating on in the
development around Wikidata. A big part of that is improving the
integration of Wikidata in the watchlist of Wikipedia and other sister
projects. I just opened a page to collect input on how we can improve
it.
Mechanically generated names by transliteration bots
or by direct word for word translation (depending on the custom generally
used in the target language) may well be appropriate in many cases
Remember that I'm talking about place names, rather than other types

Thanks both. I'll try hacking out an aggregated list tonight and send
the link around, but for now if there's anything you know for sure we
cover comprehensively, fire away with your suggestions :-)
Mix-and-match was in the back of my head, as it has a nice example of

Here's a very rough first attempt:

Hoi,
What would you do with the many, many Chinese place names in Wikidata where we
have nothing but Chinese ? It is completely useless to me in this way. A good
transliterations works for me. Like most people beyond that I do not care much
Sure, tonight it will be done.

Your description sounds quite close to what we had in mind. The high level
group is manifesting quite well, the domain groups are planned as pilots for
selected domains (e.g. Law or Mobility).
I lost a bit the overview on the data classification. We might auto-link or

This is a very ambitious, but commendable, goal. To map all data on the web to
the DBpedia ontology is a huge undertaking that will take many years of effort.
However, if it can be accomplished the potential payoff is also huge and could
result in the realization of a true Semantic Web. Just as
I agree that word for word translations are not appropriate for English.
If there are languages which traditionally do use word for word then that

Hi Serge,
The short answer to this is that the purpose of aliases in Wikidata is
to help searching for items, and nothing more. Aliases may include
nicknames that are in no way official, and abbreviations that are not
valid if used in another context. Therefore, they seem to be a poor
source
