Please ensure that you do not *automatically* fix or edit OSM data based
on Wikipedia/Wikidata. Instead, build something that lets users spot
problems and fix them manually. Wikidata tags in OSM are already of low
quality because of mindless mass-addition by people with zero local
knowledge and we don't want to make the matter worse.

Bye
Frederik
