Robert and Jane, Robert, great ... To further support an ecosystem of Wikidatas, I hope we might develop World University and School in Wikidata together. How might we best make this happen? (What might be the very first steps to begin moving from the current Wikia to Wikidata, if this is

I think it is not about a file being or not the best to reprensent something, it is about can commons gain something by being in wikidata. And I think it is the case : wikidata will give very powerful tools, with properties to classify and describe files, and queries to find which files matches
