no, that's not true, there is for example the open link map which gives you the article in your language, that's the whole point of it. One language is enough to get all the others (in the general case, there are a few exceptions). > Sure that could be solved by some algorithms, but this is a > simpler, nicer solution. -1, for humans it is much simpler to add and to verify understandable information, here I agree with Pieren, better use "de:McDonald's" than "Q38076", if both are unambiguously associable to the same unique resource. > Then we can use franchise:wikidata=* there is also brand to take into consideration. Still, why wikidata if you can use wikipedia? cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
