#Wikipedia; Héctor Rondón did not win the #Polk Award

This is Héctor Rondón, he pitches for the Cubs. He did not win the George Polk award, Héctor Rondón Lovera did.

This is a common mistake, it happens all the time and it is where Wikidata may make a positive difference to Wikipedia.. It just requires a different mindset to see why this is the right solution at this time. There are some loud Wikipedians that abhor Wikidata. This is an easy and obvious method that will improve Wikipedia and there is no sane argument why this would not work.

These Wikipedians do not even have to notice that this is done; we can hide it from them and still do a world of good. Not just for English Wikipedia but for all Wikipedias.. Ehm, for the readers of all Wikipedias.

#Wikidata - Jaime Lusinchi, president of Venezuela

Yesterday Mr Lusinchi died. Thanks to a ToolScript this was noticed. It was found that Wikidata was not aware that he was president of Venezuela.

Currently he is the only Venezuelan president where information is included like when he became president and who preceded him. For many if not all of the others Wikidata is now at least aware that they held the office of President of Venezuela.
Thanks,
