I'm watching the project, but thank you. :D
That is indeed one of the main issues
Hmm, okay. I'd personally be a little less leery of WD:N cross this functionality at this point in time because it provides for structural need. (The only reason the reference system, either citing a long work or otherwise, works, is because of structural need.)
but also of splitting data between two projects
What does this mean? Isn't the planned-for use of the same properties and data as already exist on Wikidata already "splitting data" between two projects?
having to watch multiple pages
What does this mean? Maybe this is a presupposition on my part, but my expectation is that, like with the current clients, this functionality would be on watch because it is linked to the main entity (the media file?). Is that a bad expectation?
and so on.
"And so on"s scare me. :D
If a person is referenced a lot, it makes of course sense to create an item for them. In that case, it probably wouldn't be a problem to do so. But it seems better to allow "one-off" references to not require the "heavy guns".
I guess this makes sense, but I would be concerned that we could end up with a lot of inconsistent data in that we'd get 30 Flickr links, 20 Wikidata item links, and 5 Facebook links, with this kind of scheme, when they're all meant to point to the same person/entity (corporate authors should be considered, many of which will or probably already do have items, I suppose). This isn't particularly fixed by having static text in the authorship--authority control is a thing for this reason. :D
