Can someone point to an example wikipedia page that's actually drawing from wikidata? When I hit wikidata and look up random items (say, item 1000, the country of Gabon: http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1000 ) and then look at the source for the English wikipedia page for Gabon, I don't see anything that suggests any of the facts are coming from wikidata.

This seems to be more "all wikipedias can now draw facts from wikidata", and certainly isn't "all facts in wikipedia come from wikidata." The former is cool, the latter would be mind-blowing - but I'm not sure how far along we are on the path to "{all|most|some|a few} facts come from wikidata"



Poking around a bit, I found this press release: https://blog.wikimedia.de/2013/04/24/wikidata-all-around-the...

It looks like the ability to pull Wikidata into infoboxes was just rolled out a week ago, so I guess it wouldn't actually be used yet in a lot of places.
