wikidata tag added to thousands of place nodes. Automated mass edit?

I’m going to play devil’s advocate:

Let’s say someone knows Berlin’s name and general location
So what we know is:
Name: Berlin
Location: Somewhere in east Germany, near poland kind of

If that user looked up “Berlin”, well guess what he might be using google derived data. Someone could have created the wikipage and wikidata based entirely off google’s location and name service. So with your logic being applied to the name as well you could never match any data from wikidata or wikipedia as it might have been created with google maps/bing maps(lol) data and visually confirming on the screen is still using said derived data.

There’s a difference between using knowledge to look something up versus blatantly copying data to create something knew. I will now take OSM’s example of looking stuff up:
What we know:
Name: Berlin
Location: 52.5170365, 13.3888599
So if we take the same steps as looking up the city, it comes down to the same thing as “using local knowledge”. OSM data has been created and shared by local mappers who are sharing said knowledge that Berlin is indeed located in East Germany.

To my knowledge Google cannot copyright gps locations of locations when the source of the gps location is local knowledge(OSM Editors). Again no data is being derived from wikidata, only the link or ID to the offsite database is being added.

It would be as if you had to look up a website of say Berlin Cathedral Church. So you launch Google, lookup “Berlin Cathedral Church” and find the website: http://www.berlinerdom.de/index.php and decide to add it to OSM. At that point are you deriving data from Google? No because it’s factual and verifiable information.

p.s. WHAT I DO NOT SUPPORT: is using wikidata to create places/nodes in OSM as those may be derived from copyrighted materials.
