But i don't think there is anything wrong with how wikidata represents
things - for Hamburg wikidata for example has a single item:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1055
which represents both the administrative unit and the populated place -
which is perfectly fine. And OSM does differentiate between them which
is also fine.
Why should i attempt to change their data model to be identical to that
of OSM (which would be a hopeless endeavor anyway because how things
are represented in OSM is constantly changing)?
