I believe that

Thankful_Village=WWI
Thankful_Village=WWI;WWII

would  be more in the spirit of the tagging system.  Alternatively, to 
avoid multiple values:

Thankful_Village:WWI=yes
Thankful_Village:WWII=yes

I think this is a misuse of wikipedia tags.  The tag should be to an 
entry for the specific village (regardless of its thankful status).  I 
also think it is wrong for the Thankful_Village article to repeat the 
contents of the corresponding category.

Not sure how to interpret this, but I think that this should also follow 
the indirection chain via the wikipedia article for the village.

NB Wikipedia should never be used as a primary source for OSM as:

- it is supposed to be a secondary source, so you should always cite the 
corresponding primary source;
- it has much less strict rules on database copyrights, so you may end 
up making an illegal database import.
