Thanks Yaroslav.

I can see a brief discussion that seems to have happened month ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Twitter

But the BLP that I edit have only started to be changed in the last couple
of weeks.

I still think this is very disingenuous to expect no responsibility or
communication by and with Wikidata. Wikidata is becoming the host
repository for this information now. Doesn't that "ownership" imply some
sort of responsibility, interactively, with its sister projects. Especially
the largest one, English Wikipedia?

I have actually come over to the side of being convinced that Authority
Control and datasets like Twitter are serviced well by Wikidata -- and
support this process. But documentation and communication needs to be
vastly improved so that both Wikidatans and Wikipedians know how the data
is added, updated, etc.
