<div dir="ltr">Andy, both sr: and sq: languages describe the same CONCEPT - "republic of Serbia". Both articles mention Kosovo as a territory with the special status. So the content is the same, and both can be used to describe the ground truth of Republic of Serbia. The articles just choose to show a slightly different map image -- but that's exactly where OSM comes in - we are the ones who can draw the ground truth correctly, and simply reference the object to the Wiki. Or should we base OSM data on Wikipedia?<div><br></div><div>If we draw two OSM objects - with Kosovo and without, we ourselves step into the ground truth debate, and need to decide which object corresponds to the Wiki article better, or perhaps mark both with the same Wikipedia article. Again, this debate is mostly about disputed territories and how to tag them, not the Wiki* links.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Oct 23, 2017 at 7:33 AM, Andy Townsend <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ajt1047@gmail.com" target="_blank">ajt1047@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">On 23/10/2017 11:40, Ryszard Mikke wrote:<br>

That seems like a problem to fix in Wikipedia<br>

Part of the problem is that some of these problems simply aren't fixable at wikipedia. For example <a href="https://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D1%80%D0%B1%D0%B8%D1%98%D0%B0" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://sr.wikipedia.org/wiki/<wbr>%D0%A1%D1%80%D0%B1%D0%B8%D1%98<wbr>%D0%B0</a> and <a href="https://sq.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbia" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://sq.wikipedia.org/wiki/<wbr>Serbia</a> are allegedly the same article and <a href="https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q403" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/<wbr>Q403</a> lists them both. However, as can be seen by looking at the maps on each page, they aren't the same geographic entity - one includes Kosovo, one does not. Neither is "wrong" from the point of view of the authors of each page yet they can't both be "correct" at the same time.<br>
