Wikidata turns three years old on 29 October 2015: d:Wikidata:Third Birthday/Party

Since 2012 the main achievements have been:

import of links and data from Wikipedias
creation of over 15 million data pages (exact number depends how you count sparse ones)
large array of gadgets and tools plus games supporting data entry work
many bots
expanded content policy (beyond topics occurring on a Wikipedia), e.g. in the areas of monuments, artworks, scientific papers
development of 2000 property definitions] by the community
steady growth of statements at around 20 million additions annually (i.e. over 50,000 a day)
implementation of "scientific" numerical properties that are not dimensionless, i.e. with units
basic Wikidata query language, and now a SPARQL endpoint to use for more advanced searching
export in infobox style, supported by Lua code, and advent of "arbitrary access" (import can mix items, roughly speaking)
front end applications such as Reasonator, Histropedia, Inventaire, Musikipedia ...
