It is mostly because you pushed the effort, not beaucse of "advantage of wikidata". The same fixing has already been done for YEARS before your effors based on wikipedia tags only. And fixing wikipedia tags is in no way inferior to your method. Maybe even better, because it involves less „geekiness“ - they are more understandable to larger portion of OSM community. >> 3.

But when you're told by numerous people numerous times that current mechanism works, and there is nothing BETTER in your advice (other than your theoretical rambilngs), you cannot advice to destroy existing working mechanism. > We are discussing the way to improve them, > because they are currently broken. Badly. And they are perfectly being fixed without involving wikidata tags there, where people WANT to do that and do WORK to fix them. > Also, please elaborate which community has asked me to stay away??? Lithuania. We are in active action on not only fixing wikipedia tags, but also adding missing tags to OSM, adding missing coordinates to wikipedia, aligning coordinates between OSM and wikipedia etc. For YEARS! > 4) could you elaborate on who uses wikipedia > tags, and how they are being used?

To do that it is straightforward to use a value in wikipedia tag. -- Tomas _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
