Event Timeline

My question of direction Mismatch_Finder : Wikidata MisMatchFinder why dont we have a staging area i.e. were we upload everything? As most external sources have no version history, no API its a mess to extract data and also to check between versions... just having a mismatch and not the change history I feel will be confusing....

Example I am now playing with the Nobel prize winner db see Notebook

They have a new API version 2.1 where they have a lot of same as Wikidata in the data also for birthplace etc... but they dont have version history i.e. if they have an mismatch in "same as Wikidata birth location" and will change that it will be very confusing when we dont have the history.... to understand why we have a mismatch... or why we have a mismatch that is "not a mismatch" (i.e. its corrected at the source....)

https://api.nobelprize.org/2.1/laureates

example json where I guess a mismatch will be confusing if the Nobel people change "Zelvas...."

,

"cityNow": {
   "en": "Zelvas",
   "no": "Zelvas",
   "se": "Zelvas",
   "sameAs": [
         "https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q691679",
         "https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%BDelva"
    ]

},
