</div>For now I've side stepped this problem. If you look at an institution like a<br>
hospital, university or school you'll often find multiple buildings, some<br>
might include a name and be tagged amenity=hospital/university/school. If my<br>
code spots two or more nearby items with the correct tags and matching names<br>
it skips them, so I don't have to deal with multiple OSM items having the same<br>
wikidata tag.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Most of this cases are probably just bad tagging, but it's possible some of them indeed are multiple objects described in an article. It would be useful to make a KeepRight style map with such problematic objects.<br>

I can also detect if there are two nearby items with the same name but<br>
different tagging. I found an article on Wikipedia that was in the categories<br>
for bridge and monument. In OSM we have a 'way' to represent the bridge and a<br>
'node' in the middle of the bridge for the monument. I skip these as well,<br>
there are just over 200 of them.<br></blockquote><div> </div>Bridges are bit of a grey area, is a highway with bridge=yes really a bridge, or is it a highway which has a property of being on a bridge? I think we should map these notable bridges as an area with man_made=bridge and put the tag on that.<br>
