Modifying QS statements to add "occupation: researcher" by default #173

Closed Daniel-Mietchen closed 2 years ago

Daniel-Mietchen commented 2 years ago

When people unfamiliar with the target item and/ or with WikiCite workflows find an item that has only the English label and the "instance of human" statements, they are often irritated and would like to have some more information. Of course, that is usually available via items connected to the target item, but perhaps adding this "occupation: researcher" statement is generally more helpful than not having it.

Great suggestion - I'd been thinking of something like that too. Probably would be nice to set some sort of default description in English too but that gets complicated to avoid duplicating an existing item.
