Re: [Wikimedia-l] Quality issues

Not a contribution to the discussion at large, but I had the same problem Andreas is mentioning a couple of days ago when doing some of my first WD edits and adding a reference. I had no idea what to chose in that property field and it only showed me “instance of” and “subclass of” as a cold

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Quality issues

This is going nowhere, one of the big issues is that there is a lack of understanding on how WikiData works and whats it purpose is. Wikimedia Australia solution is invest community money into bringing someone who has contributed to Wikidata to Australia to do a series of talks and workshops

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Quality issues

I second all Lydia's answers. Also, I do think that there is a huge difference between usability/UX issues and core, fundamental, systemic issues. I personally think, Andreas, that you are displaying usability issues, which are solvable (not easy, and not trivial, but at least can be fixed).
