JinJian and one other editor who is currently not
Hey :)
There has been a lot of talk about Wikidata in this thread. We are indeed
going to work on a solution. Lucie will be working on this project as part
of her bachelor thesis starting in August. It is called article
placeholder. You can read more and give input at
Allow me to correct myself: my last line should read bot-generated articles

Hoi,
Have you EVER set foot in Wikidata? Because the notion that its data can be

other languages. One problem with Reasonator is that for ordinary
