Hoi,
Jon a great initiative. I hope many people will consider updating Wikidata
as well. As you know, Wikidata serves many languages with results when
there is no article available. It is done especially well when people
choose the "Reasonator" icon or when they choose a Wikipedia article in
another language.
Of particular interest are the commonalities like other awards, their alma
mater, where they are employed. When people who are in the public eye are
known for other awards as well, we find that these connections are
important and make people find the associated people and places of interest
as well.
Thanks,
Gerard
