Hoi,
I add statements of the primary sources tool in preference to add them
myself (Primary Sources takes more time).
I am still of the strongest opinion that given the extremely disappointing
number of added statements the Primary Sources tool is a failure.
It is sad that all the good work of Freebase is lost in this way. It is sad
that we cannot even discuss this and consider alternatives.
Thanks,
GerardM
