Especially considering that in a lot of areas OSM already covers 90% of the sites that wikipedia has georeferenced pages for, and more. Note that you can quite easily automatically infer the POI type from the article by looking at the infobox type and other templates the page uses, I have somewhere a piece of python code to parse wikipedia infoboxes, templates, inter-wiki links, if you want to use it, it was used for matching existing objects against wikipedia pages. (For localities you can legally import them from GNS and then match against wikipedia instead of importing from wikipedia).
