Why no links in description from Wikipedia?

  1.  
    1. E.g. the [[CHIC]] article, the Description text should be chock full of links, each linking to either the Freebase article or the WP original. Without those, it's less useful than WP.

      1. We import the Wikipedia articles to seed Freebase with topics. We're not trying to replicate Wikipedia, though, and in fact, most of the value in Fb is in the structured data (i.e., the properties), which can include URLs. For the most part, however, those need to be entered by hand.

        If you're looking at a topic you know, feel free to jump in and fill out the properties!
