We would rather like to support linking and data
integration with
external data bases than suggest *every* fact of the world to be copied to
Wikidata.
An interesting example is the IUCN redlist of threatened species:
http://www.iucnredlist.org/ Data are modified by IUCN from time to time,
so copying would be a rather temporary solution, while the redlist status
is important in infoboxes of animals and plants.
We must not rely on 3rd parties. We need a local copy on Wikidata and
auto-update the values using a feed or similar.
