[Talk-GB] OSM with Wikidata: now covers UK and Ireland

[Gregory]

I particularly want to echo Brian's advice to request permission from a
mapper in each county. Use the OSM wiki to find local mappers/groups for
that consultation.

A summary table would be helpful if it includes: county name, when the
mechanical edit was done, the status (done, refused, not yet consulted),
and the local representative's username).

Similar to the Naptan import.
