Christoph, a valid point. Yet the duplicate would allow finding many of these errors, rather than leaving wp-only to go bad due to changing nature of the WP articles. As for sameness argument - lets try to work on them on a case-by-case basis. The vast majority of concepts are "good enough" - if a park is tagged with the wikidata id for that park, and someone extends it to add a few more trees, its not a big problem. If that edit combines two parks into one, eventually it would get fixed, with two parks being created. And no, we won't be able to solve every edge case, but we will solve it for the vast majority of them. After all, a map is an approximation of the real world, not a perfect replica.
