Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2015-12-09/Op-ed

This is the third in a series of recent Signpost op-eds about Wikidata, including "Wikidata: the new Rosetta Stone" and "Whither Wikidata?".

Wikidata has recently celebrated its 3rd birthday. In these three short years it has managed to become one of the most active Wikimedia projects, won prizes, and is starting to show its true potential for improving Wikipedia. It is being used more and more both inside and outside Wikimedia every day. At the core of Wikidata is the desire to give more people more access to more knowledge. This is what we should be held accountable to. And I am the first to admit that we still have a long way to go.
