TLDR: researching ways to validate wikipedia and wikidata tags, wrote a script to cross-check OSM and Wikidata, found many incorrect disambig references, would love to start community discussion on best guidelines going forward.
I have been analyzing the quality of OSM's wikipedia and wikidata tags by cross-checking data using both OSM tags and Wikidata. My first goal is to fix "disambiguation" references - when OSM object links to the Wikipedia disambiguation page, instead of the real location page. I have already fixed about 200 objects, but there are about 800+ relations left, and I could really use some help. I don't think its possible to add them to MapRoulette just yet. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Yurik/OSM_disambigs While fixing wd/wp tagging issues, I have been putting together a list of open questions on how we want to improve wikipedia and wikidata tags in general, and create some guidelines. Lets discuss them in the talk page? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Yurik/Wikidata_OSM_questions Lastly, if you have any suggestions on different ways to validate data using the mixture of Wikidata and OSM, let me know. At the moment I have a list of all types of OSM objects' wikidata IDs, and mark the bad ones with a value. If OSM's wikidata's "instance of" of one of the bad types, my script puts those OSM objects it into a separate list that I can analyze. The list of types is here - sort by the second column: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data:Sandbox/Yurik/OSM_object_instanceofs.tab Feel free to modify the second value of any row to indicate that those objects should be fixed.
