Importing legislator data into Wikidata #7

Closed thinkcontext closed 8 years ago

thinkcontext commented 8 years ago

Building on the work of @harej of adding Wikidata ids to legislators, I've written a simple script to add some of the data in the legislator repository into Wikidata. Its pretty basic stuff, the OpenSecrets id, Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube Channel id.

Obviously there are many more facts that are part of this project that could be pushed into Wikidata, is there interest in adopting this?
