Investigate what social media the wikidata bots runs for #31

Check where they are running and what they are doing. Especially look if they use the verified status.

I have added the Github username to Ajapaik(Q28845848) which has a verified Github account, so in a few hours, we should see if the Github bot picks up the verified status.

This seems to be one of the primary bots: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:BorkedBot

Here is an example of an edit that adds the verified status on Twitter.

It looks like that User:BrokenSeque is adding data from several social media based on and using references to Google Knowledge Graph, recently working on Irish agencies.

Looking at "verified account" data in Wikidata it appears that only Twitter and maybe Soundcloud are covered by bots. https://w.wiki/3fav
