Hoi,
If we want to make visible that our data is good, you have to approach it
from another angle. Adding sources to all statements is not going to
happen. Comparing data that exists in multiple sources is comparatively
easy. When data at Wikidata is the same as a source like VIAF or IMDB, we
do not have to give attention to those statements. When we put our effort
in the differences we make a difference. Both our quality and their quality
improves.
The notions that fear of Wikipedians prevents their take up of our data
does not mean that we have to adopt their practices that do not scale.
Thanks,
GerardM
