Motivation
WeRelate is a Creative Commons licensed genealogical database and worthy to be referenced. They also frequently list our ID so, it might be easy to import identifiers. ChristianKl (talk) 17:23, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Support Sam Wilson 01:21, 27 June 2017 (UTC)- From the example given, this appears to simply mirror Wikipedia. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:12, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
- It does, for people with Wikipedia articles; there are many non-Wikipedia-notable people on WeRelate though, who will have Wikidata items (for example, members of sporting teams, or parliaments, or whatnot). Perhaps a better example is required (should I add one?). Sam Wilson 03:06, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Neutral jrm03063 I don't oppose provided that I have a trivial way to load/revise the corresponding claim as WeRelate page names are updated - which I can do from the WeRelate side - the Wikidata side - I'm not so sure. In principle, that ought to be possible via something like the quick statements interface, however, I have not yet been able to make use of that for the more critical job of loading relationship claims (mother, father, spouse, partner, etc.) which I've been able to infer from WeRelate and detect as missing from Wikidata. I have something beyond 5000 such claims languishing on that account. The last guidance I received was a suggestion that maybe I would like to write my own interface code with pywiki - which seems like it shouldn't be necessary - besides being an added distraction from working on the data in question. If I can't easily load genealogy information proper - I'm certainly not going to be interested in a convenience property that I can basically live without. Other information - at present WeRelate has more than 21,200 "Person:" pages that carry a Wikidata ID. About 5,000 more tentatively seem to be associated with English Wikipedia - which will take WeRelate beyond 26,000 corresponding Wikidata identity pages. The comparison effort with Wikidata has revealed many Wikidata identities that are associated with people already in WeRelate that arise from other language versions of Wikipedia and elsewhere. --Jrm03063 (talk) 03:09, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
