Hoi,
Having read the proposal, I am more than happy to endorse this follow
up. My previous annoyance with StrepHit was that it relied on the
Primary Sources tool. I am happy to note that it is now recognised how
deficient it is in the usability department.
The main thing will be to come up with strategies to involve people.
I completely agree: during the past 6 months I have spent a considerable
effort trying to engage new users.
The known usability issues seem to block the process.
If you have some specific thoughts on this, please feel free to add them
in the renewal talk page:

So
far the Primary Sources failed miserably in this department. Now that it
is no longer a Google project we may finally consider options without
the miserable thought of Google making its mark held by some. Our
license is CC-0 so Google is welcome anyway to everything we achieve.
My pet hate of the primary sources tool is that often there are
suggestions that already exist. This can be explained that a lot of
values are added without noticing the values available. It would however
be good when these are removed without suggesting that they are
declines. I do this all the time and am sorry because it negatively
impacts the Freebase statistics..
Anyway, the notion of the StrepHit functionality with improved methods
to add them to Wikidata make sense. Maybe it is even time to reconsider
many of the notions of Primary Sources.
Thanks,s

Hi everyone,
If you care about data quality, you probably know that high quality
is synonym of references to trusted sources.
That's why the primary sources tool is out there as a Wikidata gadget:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Primary_sources_tool
*The tool definitely needs an uplift.*
That's why I'm requesting a *renewal* of the StrepHit IEG.
Remember StrepHit, the Web agent that reads authoritative sources
and feeds Wikidata with references?
These 6 months of work have led to the release of the first version:
its datasets are now in the primary sources tool, together with
Freebase.
To support the IEG renewal, feel free to play with them!
Please follow the instructions in this request for comment to
activate the tool:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/Semi-automatic_Addition_of_References_to_Wikidata_Statements
Are you satisfied with it? Do you agree with the current discussion?
If you have any remark for improvement, please help me refine the
renewal proposal via its talk page.
If you think the primary sources tool requires a boost, please
endorse the StrepHit IEG renewal!
