  Question:
  
  I do have issues with it being put right into Wikidata. For example, Covid-19 
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q84263196 has Drug-or-therapy-used-for-treatment 
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P2176 with ivermectin (!!!!!!!!) 
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q415178 administered orally (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). 
There are 10 references, that no one will chase down. But people (or in 
particular "AI bots") will pick this up and think that it is true. That is so 
dangerous! There needs to be a link to 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivermectin_during_the_COVID-19_pandemic and not 
to any lists of clinical trials - the RESULTS of the clinical trials are needed 
and not the fact that there was a clinical trial for this. This is why I feel 
that you need to keep the medical information on a separate Wikibase 
implementation until you are clear on how you will be dealing with all this 
issues that will arise. WiseWoman (talk) 15:46, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
  
  WiseWoman: We will certainly consider your comments. You are certainly right.

  WiseWoman: We currently see whether we can develop an interface that allows 
medical specialists to curate our data when retrieved from PubMed Database.

  That would be a step in the right direction, but people argue so much and do 
not agree on what is correct in medicine! Why are you not concentrating on 
Cochrane reports first? That would make so much more sense! I've had students 
working on PubMed, even identifying named entities is quite challenging, we 
found multiple cases with 5+ different ways that a name of the same person was 
written, as the journals all have different rules as to whether or not first 
names are written out or abbreviated, etc. Journals are quite sloppy about 
putting metadata into PubMed and they seldom correct errors. It's a great 
resource for a human medical researcher or practicioner, who can determine if 
an article makes sense or not. But again, people don't agree. --WiseWoman

  WiseWoman: Sure, it will be useful to use Cochrane Reviews to enrich 
Wikidata. We are already working to use Cochrane Reviews to add new statements 
to Open Research Knowledge Graph. This work can be scaled to Wikidata. --Csisc

  WiseWoman: If you have other interesting proposals, we will be honoured to 
implement them for our project. --Csisc (talk) 18:49, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
