The points raised in this ticket will be raised 100 times more in the larger community.

I do not understand the validity of any of these arguments.

  1. I think there is general opposition to having users manage items.
    1. I specifically oppose any item management. CentralAuth and T168792: Use Cognate to link user pages. Everything else can already be queried.
    2. One might reasonably make meta.wikimedia.org a federated Wikibase installation a la structured data for Commons, so that users can define global attributes, potentially using data from Wikidata.
    3. Either way, I think the Wikidata community wants nothing to do with users managing data there.
    4. Fine with me, as long as you can reference a user item from wikidata, it doesn't really matter. is a really big caveat and probably will not be implemented, not least for the opposition in this task.
  2. There is specific opposition to having user information, which is seen as unimportant, mixed in to the Q main space items. You can review http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/WD:N for specifics.
    1. Also adds additional editorial burden for almost 0 gain for the Wikidata community.
  3. There is specific opposition to enabling users to out themselves.
    1. Adds additional administrative burden for almost 0 gain for the Wikidata community.

If you really think this is a good idea, you need to have a proposal ready to overcome all of those objections. Plus others that the community decides are worth objecting over. (Good luck.)
