Remember to check whether edits make sense! All reports are on this page because these tasks require human judgment to verify whether the proposed edit makes sense. Some proposed edits will be wrong, in such case they should be not done and problem reported


should use a secondary wikipedia tag - linking from wikipedia tag to a human


linked wikidata entry (Q645951)(Arnold von Harff 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

wikipedia wikidata mismatch - wikipedia points to disambiguation page and wikidata does not - for operator prefixed tags


operator:wikidata and operator:wikipedia tags link to a different objects, because operator:wikidata tag points to a redirect that should be followed
article claims to point to disambig, operator:wikidata does not. operator:wikidata tag is likely to be correct, operator:wikipedia tag almost certainly is not
