Interesting.

It's a good start but I see a lot of things that need heavy improvements. I
tried for br and fr Wikisources.

Most importantly not everything on Wikisource is an edition (there is
disambig page and editions pages, for instance fr:s:Accroupissements a a
work not an edition, it should detect that and change the P31 accordingly)
Then the description is put on « Dfr "edition of Accroupissements by ,
Arthur Rimbaud" », it should be Den not Dfr, there shouldn't be a comma
here, and ideally we should add description in multiple languages (maybe
with an external bot ?).
Some others data could probably easily be added (P996
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P996> and P1957
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1957> at least and maybe P1476
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1476> too)

But this has the potential to be a very good tool!
