Incorporate Wikidata as a datasource

[Neil Carmichael]

Wikidata is the database behind wikipedia and contains lots of useful information and links about people in TWFY

Could an automatic mechanism be put in place to use the data (and images) from wikidata?

It already holds over 1200  TWFY ID's for , which it hold in the database as the "property" P2171 "TheyWorkForYou ID"

The link following link will take you to GUI where you can query the database
