To be sure, some of the arguments had merit - better sourcing needed, BLP, user interface improvements, etc.
But I was astonished to see many remarks amounting to, “Never Wikidata.” A significant number saw EN.WP as its own exceptional isolated sustainable entity that would only be polluted or weakened by decentralizing control with Wikidata-generated content. Or that the sharing in the sum of all human knowledge (and therefore, citations) was of no interest. That’s quite sad to see. -Andrew On Mon, Oct 2, 2017 at 3:39 PM, Yaroslav Blanter <[email protected]> wrote: > I would say the arguments of users who voted to delete the template have > merit, and the template was kept (and not even banished to the draft space) > under the condition that attemps will be made to reduce the issues. > > Cheers > Yaroslav > > On Mon, Oct 2, 2017 at 9:27 PM, Robert Fernandez <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> While Wikidata certainly has concerns to deal with about accuracy and >> vandalism, I think we need to push back against this mindset that Wikipedia >> works perfectly while Wikidata is this unregulated free-for-all.
