I'm all for Wikidata, it's great in some ‘high-profile’ cases like data on countries—at least by my moderate standards. I didn't have much problem with Sparql, or perhaps my queries were simple. However, once you get into the lowbrow territory of e.g. modern cultural artifacts, people just edit Wikipedia way more, end of story. Want to know what games of some genre were made for platforms of your choice, sorted by year? You go to Wikipedia, not Wikidata.
I'm told that there's a project to integrate infoboxes with Wikidata, so that their info goes into Wikidata when edited (not the other way around)—which would solve a large part of this scarcity, if the integration is seamless enough. Haven't yet seen it in action. Here's the project, Wikidata Bridge: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_Bridge https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_Bridge
