As a demonstration of the power of OpenStreetMap and links into things like Wikidata, I present my DecomissionedAircraftMap. It pulls geodata for displayed aircraft from OpenStreetMap and generates thumbnails from linked Wikidata entries.
Feel free to link some more, the bot pulls new thumbnails once a day.

Any #aviation and enthusiasts around here? For all the _red_ circles, we don't know (yet) what the #aircraft type is. You can easily link the correct wikidata entry (but you need an #OpenStreetMap account)
Or if you live closeby, you can actually add a picture #aviationPhotography

Maybe @Aviation_Librarian or @cvvhrn or their followers can help out?

in reply to Pietervdvn • • •For now, you can link as above.
For an official theme, some more research needs to be done. For example: should the 'memorial' questions be included (as some aircrafts will also act as memorial)? Are there other ways aircrafts are represented in OSM, e.g. "memorial=aircraft". Should we retag some of them (500 entries), support both tags, update the wiki, ...
And I currently don't have the time to research all this ;)

in reply to Pietervdvn • • •@pietervdvn thanks for broadcasting this, just the right activity for a lazy afternoon. I came across a problem immediately though, be glad if a more experienced mapper could help - if I know the aircraft to be a replica, do I tag it as the original type, even though technically it's not?

in reply to Scarlett B. • • •@f13rf3k Oh god, why must everything be so complicated in the real world...
Perhaps add the wikidata-code of the original model AND the wikidata code of "replica" (Q1232589)? Or add a replica=yes tag on it?
TBH, does it matter that much?
