A side remark, because I believe this needs some further discussion. I
agree that Wikidata should be focusing on the kind of data Wikipedia
has or which are suitable for Wikipedia. However, since the Wikipedia
data are not systematically sourced (they may be unsourced or the
source is only available in edit comments, talk page etc.), it will be
very valuable to import relevant, sourced data that have the right
scope.
