StrepHit IEG renewal: call for support

[Marco Fossati]

[Begging pardon if you have already read this in the Wikidata mailing list]

Hi everyone,

If you care about data quality, you probably know that high quality is
synonym of references to trusted sources.

That's why the Wikidata primary sources tool is out there as a gadget:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Primary_sources_tool

*The tool definitely needs an uplift.*
That's why I'm requesting a *renewal* of the StrepHit IEG.

Remember StrepHit, the Web agent that reads authoritative sources and
feeds Wikidata with references?
These 6 months of work have led to the release of the first version: its
datasets are now in the primary sources tool, together with Freebase.
To support the IEG renewal, feel free to play with them!

Please follow the instructions in this request for comment to activate
the tool:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/Semi-automatic_Addition_of_References_to_Wikidata_Statements

Are you satisfied with it? Do you agree with the current discussion?

If you have any remark for improvement, please help me refine the
renewal proposal via its talk page.
If you think the primary sources tool requires a boost, please endorse
the StrepHit IEG renewal!
