In some aspects wikipedia is completely different than OSM, for example
WP has the rule of "no original research", we on the other hand want
exactly that (via survey). Adding a WP article on an object would
require you finding citable third party sources with information on the
object, it is not enough that you've been there and have seen say a sign
is not enough.
