With #Wikidata increasingly used and gaining traction in academic contexts (including #GLAM ), we should engage with the larger community in earnest. I just became aware of the discussions around the reform of current notability policies: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/Notability_policy_reform. Even though this seems mainly focussed on self-promotion, it also addresses the underlying infrastructural problems of the platform by limiting the growth of the knowledge graph, and might heavily impact what we can and cannot do with Wikidata.
We should therefore seriously engage with the issue and participate in the discussion.
