As an aside, a growing number of such pages may come with some basic machine-readable data. For example IMDB actor pages may expose basic background facts, or e-govt sites may publish data geo/demographic/etc data. I hope schema.org (augmented with Wikidata-derrived vocab) will help encourage this. I'm not sure Wikidata's provenance machinery needs to worry about such things, although the lurking problem of cycles in the provenance/source graph may eventually be an issue here. For example, if some BBC music site is built from -say- MusicBrainz + Wikipedia data, should their embedded rdfa expose this sourcing so that someone citing it in support of a Wikidata factoid can be made aware of the circularity?
