* There is already a free, constantly-updated, machine-readable and, most importantly, authoritative source of "Wikipedia entry location" information available: Wikipedia itself. * Tons of tags for more widely known features (there isn't just en.wikipedia...). Need frequent updates. * Wikipedia does contain events, historical features etc. that aren't usually entered into OSM. * Sources for Wikipedia's coordinates unknown, but it's probable that most of them are from Google. * If subject to copyright: Incompatible licenses. - GFDL vs. CC-BY-SA 2.0 (now) - CC-BY-SA 3.0 vs. CC-BY-SA 2.0 (hopefully soon) - CC-BY-SA 3.0 vs. ODBL (maybe later) Just some brainstorming.
