I don't think James was advocating for adding stuff to OSM, but if he
was, yes then I'm totally with you - the Wikidata link should be
sufficient, and we don't want to copy stuff from Wikidata.

(Nor do we want to copy stuff from OSM *into* Wikidata because this
would then make parts of Wikidata ODbL licensed, something that Wikidata
certainly won't approve of.)
