there are a lot of problems (you can read about them in this thread)
and yes, administrative entities, especially the basic ones like
admin_level 2-4, are easiest, you will encounter more problems with
different objects like geographic places and other pois.

I just hoped for reading it like: "What's the problem with using Wikidata as a helper/base for our data, like I showed it in this (counter)example?", but that was so naive in a heated discussion like this one... =}

I'm aware of many specific problems (you can also read it in my posts, not only in this thread), but I just showed a way we can handle them (editor asking if this is the object you think of and if that's the proper name of it in your language). We don't have to use Wikidata directly - there are many technical solutions we could use with general linking OSM data (or OSMdata, as proposed) with Wikidata while keeping the differences and synchronizing when it's ready.

So, again: why not to use as much "easy", "low hanging" data as it's possible and suitable for us?
