coming up with the idea for this and getting together with Edward to make it work. Starting with a hack at the Wikimania hackathon, which produced the first few dozen examples in time for Andy's OSM talk at Wikimania, it's truly impressive to see 70,000 matches now good to go; plus presumably a number of other interesting cases (eg the HMS Belfast example in Andy's talk) where this is identifying hits needing disambiguation and/or other data improvement on either Wikidata or OSM. -- James.
