  Hoi,
  An argument rages about the significance of the English WIkipedia using

  DBpedia does a better job than Wikidata does and it does it because they
  not only use dumps to update their information but they also use
  information from RSS. Therefore they do a better job than volunteers like
  myself at Wikidata do.
 
  In my blogpost [1] I argue for cooperation. My point is very much that
  increasingly I find I do no longer have the time to maintain the data for
  people who died in 2014 or 2015. I have done that the last two years..
 
  I desperately want to do other things with Wikidata, things that are more
  relevant. PLEASE consider cooperating with the DBpedia people. They are
  part of our ecosystem, they want to share and they want to make their
 data
  available with our license.
  Thanks,
 GerardM
