Said the user who then proceeded to add Wikidata tags to 20,000 objects
over the course of 8 days. A "little" project for the "downtime", wow.

These paragraphs made me assume that this was about the community
joining in to add local data or at least something the Canadian
community was doing. However, LogicalViolinist was ambitions and added
Wikidata tags to places on the whole planet.

I had hoped that lessons had been learned from the recent past.
