Well I think your reasoning is what has kept us from doing this, and last year I would have agreed with you. However, let me begin by telling a story: one of the problems we have with filling the WLM lists in general is that we have very few wiki(p/m)edians who take pictures in remote rural areas near their home, but oddly, we have lots and lots of wiki(p/m)edians who take pictures in remote rural areas while on vacation (near or not to the homes of other wiki(p/m)edians apparently).
Today we have no unified WLM interface for wiki(p/m)edians to join WLM in any other language-pedia than their own, and I feel this is an unnecessary barrier to entry of potential WLM contributions. The advantage of using the Wikidata list items for this purpose is that you have some control in presentation, whereas live queries have a haphazard list order based on date-of-creation-of-the-Wikidata-item On Thu, Jul 30, 2015 at 11:45 AM, Magnus Manske <magnusman...@googlemail.com > wrote: > Ah, do we really want to duplicate information like this?
