How can there be any effective counter to adding these relationships? Many Wikidata items correspond to Wikipedia pages. If the true information about the Wikidata item in the corresponding pages cannot be added to the Wikidata items, then the correspondence is not correct and should be removed. peter PS: Of course, determining truth may be contentious in some cases, but these will be a small minority. _______________________________________________ Wikidata mailing list Wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata
