3+1
to say _what_ something is, we should not need wikidata, we should use our
tags and improve our system if it is not sufficient to distinguish what we
want to distinguish. I'm fine with linking osm objects to wikidata items,
where the item is an instance of something (is representing a particular
thing that is the same or very close to thing of the thing in OSM).

Cheers,
Martin
