There was a link to disambiguation page which was detected using other tool which is not using wikidata. That other tool gives more than 2500(!) items to fix in osm/wikipedia (Lithuania only). So there is enough work to be done until this particular problem is fixed. It could take two weeks, it could also take two years. > 2) User kartonage has wrongly linked "Žagarės I piliakalnis" to "Žagarės II > piliakalnis" in Wikipedia. > 3) You have reverted it back to disambiguation link and no wikidata=* tag > even though there is an established ground truth in the form of big > information tables in front of each of those hillforts with names "Žagarės > piliakalnis I" and "Žagarės piliakalnis II" in big letters. It's not only names, but codes and some other details. Wikipedia page content is probably mixed or swaped (haven't done analysis yet). And people were asked NOT to do automatic changes without local knowledge. > Yet you think that wikidata=* tag is the problem here? It would not have been a problem if Yuri would not have created a tool which attracts people and fools them into believing such things could be fixed automatically. I can give another real world example where wikidata usage WOULD be a problem: Say we have a church named "St. Brewers church". It has an object in OSM with corresponding name tag, a link to wikipedia page "St. Brewers church" and wikidata ref 12345. Now this church is upgraded to basilica: it's name (in the real world) changes to "St. Brewers basilica". OSMers do not notice this change (name tag is not changed), wikipedians do (wikipedia page title is renamed, leaving old 'church' page as a redirect only). If we use QA tool based on wikipedia link, it finds that "St. Brewers church" does not exist anymore (redirect pages do not get into geotagged dumps). As soon as I try going to that page I'm redirected to "...basilica" page. Now I know that a name has changed and I change it in name and name:xx tags in OSM. If we use QA tool based on wikidata, it will find NOTHING wrong here. wikidata 12345 will be pointing to "St. Brewers basilica" page. Nothing wrong. No noticing of a change of name. Which leaves OSM with outdated name and no way to notice (names in wikipedia and OSM do not always match, comparing wikidata and OSM name is not always possible, we need to find the fact of CHANGE of wikipedia article name). -- Tomas _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
