Yeah, this is very true. And not even just checking for the existence of an Item, a bot will have to check each statement it adds too. There is the matter of a reverse-check also, of making sure that everything that *does* have an Item at WD is supposed to. On a related note, does anyone know if this new Librarybase thing is going to be help to Wikisources? http://librarybase.wmflabs.org/wiki/Librarybase:Home Certainly, where possible, items there should point to Wikisources! :-) Which will be cool. —Sam _______________________________________________ Wikisource-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikisource-l
