Please let me know (
https://www.openstreetmap.org/message/new/Mateusz%20Konieczny is 100%
fine and will not spam mailing list ) if you want also your area,
something is broken or anything at all is unclear.

For start: if you are not interested in wikipedia/wikidata tags you can
likely ignore this, there are also more interesting/important parts of
mapping OSM.

But if you are interested in linking to Wikipedia, as it allows getting
description, illustrations, detecting interesting objects and so on
then this tool may be interesting for you.

Right now Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, California are
processed in USA for 206 found errors that are worth human time (ones
not worth human time and fixable with a bot are skipped).

California and completed Rhode Island are run based on requests,
remaining USA areas are run for reasons no longer clear to me - and I
thought about disabling them, but maybe it will be useful for
some of you. 

This tool is an unexpected result of creating a detector of interesting
places based on OSM Data and Wikipedia. It turned out to require a
filter to avoid invalid links.

As detected links can be often fixed and it is better to remove invalid
rather than keep them, I am sharing this reports.

This tool is outgrowth of validation checker in script intended to run
on small datasets, so not entire world is processed. Let me know if you
want more areas. If existing ones are useful I will notice it as error
count will start going down :)
