[OSM-talk] RU Wikipedia now uses OSM by Wikidata ID

[Oleksiy Muzalyev]

Dear Yuri,

Thank you for the information. It is clear now, this map is more to

I could login into Phabricator too. I will also pay more attention to 
wikidata tags since they are being used in this project.

With best regards,
Oleksiy
