people fixing WD won’t necessarily check if their fixes work well with OSM. 
Maybe we should include versions in our WD tags?
I’ve seen OSM objects linked from WD, are there people monitoring changes to 
linked objects?


I think it’s better to add the WD links slowly, verifying on a one by one basis 
that the objects describe the same thing. And having this done for some time I 
can tell that quite often WD items are very basic and defined besides their 
name only by the content of their WP article links, which in different 
languages not always describe the same thing/s.
If you look into the things there’s a lot to fix in both projects, adding WD 
tags automatically in one go might help less than people doing it carefully and 
fixing the problems on the way.

cheers,
Martin
