I was replying to "A Wikidata tag is just as verifiable as Wikipedia tag",
and that's not true, there are significant differences which don't make the
two interchangeable.

Here's an example for major confusion:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1368377
(e.g. English and Italian version describe different "things", wikidata
describes a "mixture").
there are also
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3734793
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3734597

and maybe more...

Cheers,
Martin
