Although perhaps if there is a page about WIWOSM or on the help page of the OSM gadget or wikiMiniAtlas, it would be a good place to add some links and a short description of how to add wikipedia tags to OSM. I tried unsuccessfully to add the tags to a US county. With the As counties and cities are relatively large, chances are that they are mapped as "relations", i.e. a group of ways that constitute the boundary of the county or city ( http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:boundary ). You would want to add the Wikipedia tag to the relations rather than to any individual way (unless the boundary only consists of a single way). In Potlatch you can do this in the following way: You go to the map that contains a part of the boundary of the country/state/county/city you want to add the tag. Then in Potlatch, you click on the way that is part of the boundary to select it. At the bottom of the left hand panel, click on the "Advanced" tab to get to the full tagging details. At the bottom of that, you will see the relations the way belongs to, which should hopefully include a "Boundary administrative" relation. Double clicking on this should open a little overlay with the details of the relation. Again click on advanced tab to see the full set of tags associated with the relation. There you can now add the wikipedia tag. Kai P.S. WIWOSM looks really neat. So thanks for adding this feature.
