No you can't and you shouldn't. Clicking through to two websites and copying the link is absolutely ok. > Yes, the community can do it, the question is - should it?

That's exactly what I'm saying. People don't always want to do the complicated tasks. There is enough in that in the day job. Sometimes just clicking through a pile of wikipedia links is totally enough. Don't just leave the complicated, messy parts of your scripts to the mappers. It tends to be demotivating because there is no real progress if you always have to do a lot of research for each single item. And it is especially demotivating when it is the result of an automated edit because it feels like spending your time to clean up other people's mess. We've just cleaned up hundereds of thousands of polygons through Maproulette tasks. The popular challenges were the ones which were it was clear what was to do (not necessarily the same as fixing was easy, there were complicated multipolygon relations involved), not the ones where you had to carefully analyse the map to understand what is going on.
