Hi Tgr, thank you for the input!

This is correct. We intentionally left out the managing of a big number of statements to "later", as soon as we know how they are actually used. In short, in this case we go for "launch, gather data, refine". There is the possibility of globally tagging properties, or about adding sections as with wikitext, or other options. > The other thing I miss is some area editors could use to display important > information related to the page, such as a warning label when there is a > dispute going on. A freely editable area on the top of the page (like the one > provided by LiquidThreads) would be nice. We are discussing solutions for that. There is still the talk page, which might provide some of the functionality for that, but not all obviously. As of now I hope that no such information is needed at all, but we will monitor usage and respond to needs. But again, something we don't want to start develop too early. > I would also expect a link from each property name (like "Population") to a > property page ([[Property:Population]] or whatever) which explains the > conventions for that property. Yes, this will be the case.
