Hello, the usage of more than one Wikipedia language would be cool. The connection of Wikipedia and OSM should be a central point on our servers.
We have a big collection of Wikipedia POIs (>600.000) and I have the idea that we should transfer it half-automatic to OSM-objects. There are some reasons why I think that a automatical solution seems not possible: *WP collects only point coordinates. It's not possible to transfer it to line and area objects in OSM. *we would get duplicate entries if we would copy the points to OSM. *there are legal concerns because it is no secret that WP gets some coordinates from google Earth images. So a tool or a JOSM plugin would be nice to drag the wp-Coordinates to existing OSM object easily. So you wouldn't take the coords directly (legal concerns). This sound like a lot of manual,stupid,double work but the usage of the datas would be than more easily. We couldn't stop OSM to link to wikipedia, so we should work that it's going in the right direction. I believe that it would be not useful to overflow the OSM database with links to all wp-languages, the english and a alternative WP links should be enough. But on our servers we should have a database with all languages filled up with the help of interwikilinks. So we could provide a map with Wikipedia objects in each language and we could perhaps also link from Wikipedia to this objects which is interesting for long objects like rivers. If a column for each of the >200 languages would be to much, I would say that the 20 most popular languages would be nice: en,de,nl,ru,fr,it,ja,es,ca,pl,pt,sv,da,cs,fi,no,eo,zh,sk,tr.
