Hi Sam, Good idea !
For me, the Wikidata linking part seems (maybe the most) important. That's a great tools to visualise that most books are badly put in Wikidata (so much P1957 missing!). The importing from PG part seems important too (but for fr.ws - IIRC - we already have most of PG works).

Did it happen only on de.ws ? is it really because of copying Gutenberg? (and was it before the proofreading which changed pretty much everything ?) Cdlt, ~nicolas
