Dear Laura @lachapot and Alex @hawc2,

Thank you for your final close reads. Here's a summary of the final adjustments we've discussed and agreed:

  • I’ve inserted two missing perma links at lines 66 + 134: 8f84101. but have intentionally retained the link to Wikidata’s main page at line 179 as a live link. Here, the author is inviting readers to practice searching (using strings, labels, and aliases).
  • I’ve reviewed the file for examples of links that wrap partial/whole sentences:
    • I made one further adjustment at line 181 where the author refers to a retired lesson from the journal lesson [Using SPARQL to access Linked Open Data](/en/lessons/retired/graph-databases-and-SPARQL)..
    • However, I’ve opted to leave the longer linked sentence at line 163, [but use 'head of government' instead of 'head of state'](https://w.wiki/E$kN). because I think the author is demonstrating to their reader that the link will take them to the query being described.
    • I’ve also left the linked sentences as they are at line 177: [list of the names of heads of state in Russian and Hebrew transliteration](https://w.wiki/Fmqn), showing Wikidata's superb multilingual functionality. Geolocation is also a strength: here's a [map of the birthplaces of heads of state from all time periods, color-coded by half-century of birth](https://w.wiki/FmqU). My sense is that pinning the links to single words such as ‘list’ or ‘map’ would be misleading here.
  • I've replaced the word 'factoids'. Although this was something we recommended changing to 'fact' at the copyediting phase, the word choice was something that had been discussed and agreed previously.

This PR is ready for your final review, Laura @lachapot.

If you're happy, I can proceed to publish and I will announce it as soon as the DOI is live.

Thank you,
Anisa
