Article may be deleted and no longer existing, or link was never valid. In such cases wikipedia tag should be deleted.

Lohne - an affected OSM element that may be improved

should use a secondary wikipedia tag - linking from wikipedia tag to a human
linked wikidata entry (Q126035)(Rudi Carrell article) is about a human, so it is very unlikely to be correct
subject:wikipedia=* or name:wikipedia tag would be probably better (see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikipedia#Secondary_Wikipedia_links for full list of what else may be applicable)
in case of change remember to add such prefix (or remove) wikidata tag if it is present
object categorised by Wikidata - wrong classification may be caused by wrong data on Wikidata
