Hi all,

the main reason I didn't put Lexemes in QuickStatements is that there were concerns that the Lexeme namespace would be flooded with entries copied in bulk from who-knows-where, which would raise concerns about the legality of the entire namespace. We are legally not even allowed to copy Wiktionary data, because Lexemes are CC0.

Cheers,
Magnus

Hi Larry,

Thank you for the through answer.

It seems then to be a bigger issue. Maybe I can find someone to add this to QuickStatements, since we were already able to add a Julian Calendar option to the program).

Best regards,
Olaf
