I was throwing around ideas with a friend about how OpenStreetMap could be integrated with Wikidata.
I and others have done a lot of work on this already:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikipedia

has stalled, due to OSM-community opposition to automated edits:

though I hope we shall soon be able to get a trial edit done, to show that a larger set should follow.
