Please, please, please stop this. OSM is not Wikipedia. The OSM community has evolved a set of norms over the last 13 years. There are problems and challenges but by and large they work well. OSM believes that by minimising rules, you encourage new contributors and more creative and diverse mapping. Wikipedia believes differently. That's fine. But there is no single objective truth that Wikipedia is right on this and OSM is wrong. They're just different. Please trust the community to follow its own path, rather than trying to impose behaviours from elsewhere.
