Yes I noticed that, and I think there is an opportunity here to enrich all of those Wikipedia articles (or at least the Wikidata items corresponding to those articles).
Of course it is easiest to just do your download and cleanup later, but it would be nice if you could somehow link these items during upload. So if you know beforehand some of the items, why not add the Wikidata item to the upload data? Of course if this involves way too much work you could hold a Wikidatathon later to do this by hand. There is no limit to the number of files that link to Wikidata items, so several files that are details of the same object could all have the same Wikidata item in the Wikidata field.
