Special Page Cross-Check with external databases
The Special Page that performs cross-checks is currently stuck in the review process and will be available in a few weeks.

What will be possible in a few weeks
We developed another Special Page for cross-checks of data in Wikidata with data from external databases like the Integrated Authority File. To compare an Item with the external data, enter its ID into the text box (not the label, the ID) and click 'Check'. Then you should get a table with the following columns: Which external sources are used is listed on the Special Page Lists of external databases with the following information:

What currently doesn't work
We compare some coordinates but please treat those results with caution; we already lower the precision but it is still definetly possible that two coordinates describe the same thing but are too far apart and thus a mismatch - please ignore those for the moment.

Additionally to Match and Mismatch there will be another status Exception that indicates that the external value is wrong; since we do not store any of the mismatches we found yet, this will come in a later version (hopefully the next).
