Twitter was a social platform that was unable to fight hate speech. I left it last year in favor\nof <a href=\"https://scholar.social/@egonw\">Mastodon</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Anyway, I did some digging today and found <a href=\"https://web.archive.org/web/20230402075737/https://twitter.com/fnielsen/status/785008295505489920\">this thread <i class=\"fa-solid fa-box-archive fa-xs\"></i></a> from\nOctober 8-9 2016. A few days earlier, Finn has created a profile based on data in Wikidata on his homepage,\n<a href=\"https://twitter.com/egonwillighagen/status/783190125882777600\">which I was very happy about <i class=\"fa-solid fa-link-slash fa-xs\"></i></a>. You can see how\n<a href=\"https://twitter.com/ReaderMeter/status/784810921029881856\">Dario suggests <i class=\"fa-solid fa-link-slash fa-xs\"></i></a> to put that webpage up on Toolforge.\nFor completeness, this is <a href=\"https://github.com/WDscholia/scholia/commit/484104fdf60e4d8384b9816500f2826dbfe064ce.patch\">the first commit</a>,\nOctober 9.</p>\n\n<p>This chat was after <a href=\"https://fosstodon.org/@fnielsen\">@fnielsen</a>’s <a href=\"https://finnaarupnielsen.wordpress.com/2016/09/30/the-wikidata-scholarly-profile-page/\">blog post</a>\nabout the idea of the needed open infrastructure and a possible <a href=\"https://wikidata.org/\">Wikidata</a> solution from\nSeptember 2016. Finally, it was also only half a year before Scholia got\n<a href=\"https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2017.21800\">mentioned in Nature</a>.</p>\n\n<p>BTW, at the time there still was a focus on bibliographic information. We learned since that the Wikidata platform\ncannot technically meet the needs, at least not at this moment. Instead, the focus is now much more about the\nliterature that supports the knowledge in Wikidata and Wikipedia and make that as interoperable as possible.</p>\n\n\n<h4>References</h4>\n<div class=\"csl-bib-body\">\n    <div class=\"csl-entry\">Schiermeier, Q.
