Hello
Thank you for your feedback... I did not know Wikidata existed. This project
looks like pretty much what i was trying to do through MetaWorld's Data.
You were right about the branding problem... I was using Metawiki ,
MetaWeb, and Meta World's Data interchangeably. I was doing this
intentionally however, because i was trying to avoid a branding problem. I did
not want the community to preference one name over the others, since they are
all accurate. I guess the thing to do now, is merge with Wikidata.
Is anybody on this list working on wikidata, and have any advice for where to
begin on a project like this. I am happy to see that the project has already
been begun... of course i am not the first person to think of an idea like this
one.
I would like to see more discussion of A.I. metadata bots if anybody out there
is working on this stuff.
Thank you

Hello everybody
Hi.
I havent seen any
feedback directly associated with the Meta World's
Data, project proposal ... Please get involved ... we are us.
Yes, I think we can all agree that we are us.
You seem to have a branding problem currently. You're somewhat rambling
about... I'm not really sure what. You seem to use the terms MetaWeb,
Meta World's Data, and apparently MetaWiki interchangeably. This
naming inconsistency makes it difficult to sell your idea(s) to others.
Wikimedia has a general history of bad naming (Wikipedia, Wikimedia,
MediaWiki, etc.). You've created a page at Meta-Wiki called MetaWiki.
You're, err, not helping matters. :-)
Most of what you're talking about (I think) sounds very similar to
Wikidata. Have you looked at https://www.wikidata.org and
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata?
Hope that helps.
