Maybe - but even if that is the case the wikidata concept of a country or archipelago is not necessarily the same as in OSM. For countries and archipelagos this might sound strange (an archipelago is an archipelago, right?) but as you surely know the meaning of tags in OSM can be quite peculiar in the way it develops over time based on mapping needs and it would be quite insane if wikidata copied all these peculiarities in their classification system. I don't know a lot about wikidata but as far as i can see every wikipedia article links to exactly one wikidata item and there are many geographic wikipedia articles that describe several different concepts together for which separate OSM features exist. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
