Just wondering: would tighter integration between Wikidata and OSM help with this situation, for example, if a set of coordinates is adjusted in Wikidata then it is automatically adjusted in OSM and vice versa? Would that be a good idea?
The licenses are incompatible. Wikidata is CC-0, OSM uses the Open Database License (ODbL). If you copy coordinates from OSM into Wikidata then you're violating the database rights of OSM.
OSM is concerned that Wikidata is polluted with coordinates from Google Maps. You can't copy coordinates from Wikidata to OSM either, because it would mean violating the database rights of Google Maps.
