3 million is a lot of Wikidata edits

Today there is a Wikicite conference. Today I reached 3 million Wikidata edits. It was about a scientist by the name of Budd, he won an award.

Wikicite would be a big thing when it has room for growth. It should contain all the references used in Wikpedia, it could contain all the awards known to Wikipedia and all its recipients. It would be great when all publications referencing Wikipedia sources would be known; it would be a clue to how much Wikipedia readers are missing out on.

When we know about all the publications of the CDC scientists at Wikidata, thanks to a Scholia presentation we would know what America has developed so far. It is a lot, we could celebrate it.

This is the first blogpost for me for 2025. I still dream big but what I achieve is one edit at a time.

Thanks,
