Cool. I hope to see it featured on the Wikidata main page.  Also, since the 
article is a few months old, and much progress has been made since then, I 
think it would be great to have a paragraph on the main page that introduces 
the article and serves as an addendum.  The link to the article could be placed 
in that paragraph.

I'm excited about the future of Wikidata and the semantic access to Wikimedia 
content it increasingly enables.  

Regards,
James Weaver
