I think the reason behing Quickstatements being a super star of Wikidata is that it feels _so good_ to run a batch!
Leveraging the new version Quickstatements V3, I am now adding BHL Title IDs for Wikidata items with BHL DOIs:

As a small trivia, Descourtilz died and was burried in the very small city of "Riacho", in Espírito Santo, Brazil. The location of the grave is unknown, but I have this little impulse in me to go try and rediscover it. Who knows?

One thing @biodivlibrary.bsky.social is increasingly doing is becoming a home for "orphaned" journals (and their @crossref.bsky.social DOIs). Even major publications such as Mycotaxon can come to an end, which raises the question who looks after them one they stop publishing?
