Journalistic data apeWikimedia needs to re-invent itself?
Hi. Daily public post, mission complete.
There is no WikiProject Journalism on Wikidata and for a good reason. You know and I know that you know why.
Journalism is the hardest thing to do in this age.
Cause journalism is finding out stuff...how many references do you usually see on Wikidata? Politicians though can lie like 1000 lies a day, probably more.
I very commonly see 0 references for the majority of Wikidata usually.
That's why Wikipedia doesn't want to rely on Wikidata.
Wikidata is not about journalistic data. If you see articles it was all added sort of randomly.
Tomorrow someone may delete it all.
You must be driven and motivated to do things.
You don't need to be a genius to know that Wikidata uses Wikibase.
But how practical is it to use for a regular user?

I guess I'm going for docker and that's it.

Ok, so I'm not working on Wikipedia anymore. I'm working on Wikidata and specifically on the "Cite Q" system.
Do I have to be working on Wikipedia when I work on Cite Q.
The simple answer is "no".
The more complex answer takes into account "you".
Many of you are active on Wikipedia and you may have a good or bad opinion about Cite Q.
A good opinion people might have is "re-use". Another one: Copy and paste is facepalm! 🤦♂️ 🤦♀️

One moment...I won't work on opinions...I never did. That's uncharted territory for me.
Now you are thinking: "Well you stopped editing on Wikipedia, so how is Cite Q still relevant?"
Well, my thoughts are these. Cite Q is a good idea! It's about re-use. Of course the right Wikipedia tools do not exist yet for Cite Q so unfortunately Wikipedia users are not privileged to being able to use it but I think Wikidata users are going to benefit.
The largest CC0 database in the world, that's something! Wikidata even adds obituaries! 👍
