Additionally, and probably mostly as it's where they are taking there
name from, truthy statements are statements with the best rank
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Glossary#Rank> on a given
property: for instance, the Earth (Q2
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2>) has 3 shapes (P1419
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1419>) statements - oblate
spheroid (Q3241540), geoid (Q185969), and ball (Q838611) - but while 2
(oblate spheroid, and ball) have a "normal" rank, 1 (geoid) was given a
"preferred" rank. Thus, when considering truthy statments, the only
value for Earth shape is geoid.
Hope that helps :)

Truthy=simple, direct, only Subject-Predicate-Object structure
For example: wd:Q76127 wdt:P26 wd:Q468519 (= Sukarno hasSpouse Fatmawati)
All=contains not only the Truthy ones, but also the ones with
qualifiers (= how long was the marriage? when did the marriage
happen?), references (sources to support the claim), and preferences
(in case of multiple values, one might be preferred -- think of
multiple birth dates of some people).

Can somebody please explain (in simple terms) what's the
difference between "all" and "truthy" RDF dumps? I've read the
explanation available on the wiki [1] but I still don't get it.
If I'm just a user of the data, because I want to retrieve
information about a particular item and link items with other
graphs... what am I missing/leaving-out by using "truthy" instead
of "all"?
A practical example would be appreciated since it will clarify
things, I suppose.
