Thanks for pointing that out. Unfortunately this is broken for current JOSM builds, and also seems to be doing something slightly different. It seems it would take a lot of clicking/requests to check all the places in a given category. > Weird, I first thought I was reading this on the Wikipedia list, and > that the list it returned was the opposite (places in OpenStreetMap > that don't have a Wikipedia article).

I have implemented it quite simply by just reporting items returned by Overpass that were not in the Wikipedia category. I have also added a "types" option that lets you limit the Overpass query to specific types of place, which can be used to produce slightly more sensible results. $ ./wikipedia_osm_check.py -t village Category:Villages_in_Oxfordshire Oxfordshire Is this sort of output useful? Would it be better to do a secondary lookup, to check for the presence of each missing article beyond the original category?
