Shall we create a Wikidata vs {Freebase, DBpedia, YAGO} comparison table

Not a "versus" style table. That sends the wrong signals when these services
are fundamentally complimentary .
Yes. I'd prefer a short text - something we can add to the existing
FAQ. (That's also what I have so far.)
I actually like tables myself and don't see them as being adversarial,
but I'm happy to contribute to the comparison in whatever form it
takes.

Having a matrix/table: a) focuses people on choosing a few important
dimensions to summarize and b) makes any holes in the comparison
matrix obvious so they can be filled in (which is much harder when
parsing text).

Tom,

To clarify the context of my comment.

I meant "versus" is adversarial. I have nothing against tables and the coherence of tabular style presentation.
