it's actually not that easy. I tried to do this and gave up (in the infamous ALDI case). Andy Mabbett had created 1 new "sub-entity" for each of the 2 enterprises which together are described in the wikipedia article, but you cannot add the wikipedia article to the new wikidata object without removing it from the other wikidata object (for both). As the wikidata object that covers both enterprises is the best fit for the WP article, I decided to keep the Wikipedia article linked to this, but then it didn't make sense to use the more precise wikidata object as reference in OSM as it hadn't any wikipedia article linked to it. Cheers, Martin
