Landwehr - an affected OSM element that may be improved


Westfeld - an affected OSM element that may be improved

overpass query usable in JOSM that will load all objects where this specific error is present:
[out:xml][timeout:3600]; ( relation(1168916)['wikipedia'='de:Landwehr (Gemeinde)']; relation(1182652)['wikipedia'='de:Westfeld (Niedersachsen)']; ); (._;>;); out meta qt;//['wikipedia tag links to 404']


should use a secondary wikipedia tag - linking from wikipedia and wikidata tag to a human
linked wikidata entry (Q86324)(Heinrich Christian Burckhardt 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 remove wikidata tag if it is present
object categorised by Wikidata - wrong classification may be caused by wrong data on Wikidata
