Hi Gerard, your blog post got me thinking about designing a Wikidata fact checking tool. The idea would be to rank facts to be checked by a human by some combination of a fact importance score and a fact uncertainty score. Do you know of any work that has already been done in this space? Do you think such a tool would be used? What are the current systems for quality control in Wikidata?
As an aside, estimating fact uncertainty may reduce to estimating Wikidata quality as a whole.
