There are some surprising results there, particularly related to different answers produced by different engines. Suggestions on how to improve the effort or provide deeper explanations of the results are particularly welcome on the discussion page. *Newest properties <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ListProperties> and property proposals <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Property_proposal> to review* -
