For now Wikidata tends to be similar to Wikipedia. There is a single Wikipedia article that describes both a civil parish and village, so the same is true on Wikidata. Over time Wikidata might start adding extra items for the civil parish. This is happening already in Germany. Wikipedia has an article about a village called Brailes, but OSM has nodes for two villages, Upper Brailes and Lower Brailes. The matcher solves this problem by picking the civil parish. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brailes http://wikidata.org/wiki/Q2155031 http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2863394 Another example: Upton Snodsbury in Wikipedia is called Upper Snodsbury in OSM, so the matcher picks the civil parish. There is a note on the Upper Snodsbury node that suggesting that the name might be wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upton_Snodsbury http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1875319 -- Edward. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
