Note on Wikidata/Wikipedia checking

 * 1) The Wikidata bot (WD BOT) regularly monitors wikidata items used in the Wikipedia Infobox person/Wikidata template. A list of wikidata items could be generated from the What Links Here page, and a list of the interesting properties from the template definition.
 * 2) If any of the interesting properties of the item have changed since the time of the previous check, WD BOT generates a report detailing the changes in a log file somewhere on Wikidata.
 * 3) The Wikipedia bot (WP BOT) regularly checks the log file on Wikidata.
 * 4) If the log file has been updated with changes since the last check, WP BOT writes a report of the changes on the talk page of the appropriate Wikipedia page. The report will also include details of the reference information on Wikidata in a cite template such as Cite Book.
 * 5) Any Wikipedia user who has the page on their watchlist will see that the talk page has been updated (provided they haven't hidden bot edits).
 * 6) The Wikipedia user can then check whether the changes to the infobox are appropriate and referenced and if the information is from a reliable source. They can then make any appropriate changes to the article, including suppressing the infobox parameter, adding text to the article to show the new/changed data in the article, adding a citation to the text using an exisitng source, or creating a new reference using the information in the WP BOT report.
