After the successful working on solving the problem of human settlements without a country, we have to move to the elephant in the room: items without statements.
After some discussion in Telegram, let me share some numbers here. There are currently 829k of them. https://w.wiki/DEYs There are another 493k items with only one identifier and no other statement. https://qlever.cs.uni-freiburg.de/wikidata/Z8OkZi?exec=true Often that single identifier is just the Google Knowledge Graph ID (P2671). So basically we have more than a million items that are empty or almost empty. (And this is not even the list of all items without any instance of (P31) / subclass of (P279), nor a list of items with missing other basic statements, like country, coordinates, sports, etc, etc.) All these items are basically useless as they contain no data. Any thoughts on how we can reduce this problem? Romaine
