OpenStreetMap on Wikidata #33

Open danieldegroot2 opened 1 year ago

danieldegroot2 commented 1 year ago

Adding (details for) OpenStreetMap, OSMF, Local Chapters and related -notable- projects to Wikidata. For Local Chapters especially their registered organisation details and (official, relevant) contact channels (may be found on the OSM Community Index). In general, translated descriptions are welcome. Some items have a page on the OSM Wiki.

Important: Please note certain contributors may be basically prevented or discouraged from contributing this information due to Wikidata's paid editing and conflict of interest (draft) guidelines.

Organisations which have a physical address may have their organisation (or its wikidata link) added to OSM. Survey to verify details is recommended.

Adding images (e.g. logos), preferably with compatible license, to Wikimedia Commons, and for the physical address Mapillary and/or KartaView, is encouraged. Provide as many details as possible.

Wikidata already has an item about each local chapter, though not all of them have the level of detail you’re suggesting.

Please note certain contributors may be basically prevented or discouraged from contributing this information due to Wikidata's conflict of interest rule.

Note that this is just a draft from 2019 that hasn’t come up for an RfC. Unlike Wikipedia, Wikidata doesn’t have a broad policy on conflicts of interest, but there is a narrower policy regulating paid editing.
