So if this is not the place to discuss these issues, should I be going to
the Wikipedia-l with them? Issues that directly relate to Wikidata?

I would really appreciate some clarification on this.

It seems that there are a lot of assumptions here that I don't understand
or know about. I know everyone here is very smart. Maybe I am not qualified
to be on this list because I am not an academic or a scientist or a
computer programmer, and there is no place or desire to have someone not in
those categories participating?

I create and edit Wikidata items. I have a library degree. Authority
control and citations are my focus when editing Wikipedia/Wikidata. Yet I
don't seem to fit in with the overarching schema here.
