Hoi,
I am truly happy that Wikidata is its own master. When a Wikipedia has certain policies it is welcome to it. As long as they do not use Wikidata to improve the quality of its content [1] and by the same token improve the data at Wikidata, I am not interested what a Wikipedia does.
Thanks,
      GerardM

Wikidata appears to allow original research and the inference of gender from the name or photo of the subject. It will be a cold day in hell before en.wiki allows this, see [[WP:RS]] and .[[WP:OR]].

But there have also been lots of corrections. As far as painters go, the data is really pretty decent now. It helps that it's really easy to check the state of Wikidata against the contents of Wikipedia categories. As more people become aware of how to make such checks, I think we start to see a cleanup of categories and (I hope) a better categorization system starting to form that is more  in line with Wikidata property class trees.

Data has been sucked from GND to wikidata via a number of routes, principally VIAF. See Wikidata:Bot_requests#Import_GND_identifiers_from_VIAF_dump for example for a discussion of an instance of this.

Hoi,
The blog states that a lot of data was sucked into Wikidata from GND. As far as I am aware that never happened. So its assertion is wrong.
Thanks,

Hoi,
It is trivial when you only consider Wikidata.

I've previous blogged about the issues with sex / gender in wikidata at http://opensourceexile.blogspot.co.nz/2014/07/adrian-pohl-wrote-some-excellent.html has the sitaution moved on?

cheers
