OSM is a geospatial database that stores locations in the form of geo-coordinates. The coordinates are also useful to figure out the relative position to surrounding objects (aka: look at the map). If you rather like to have a database that stores location in the form of textual descriptions, so be it. I just don't think OSM is the place to dump all that information.
I agree with you. Perhaps Wikidata would be the better place to store location descriptions as well as those descriptive names. I also still wonder whether the sources from which Andreas got the names of the fountains [^1] are permissible on OSM. As far as I know, this shouldn't be a problem on Wikidata.
I was thinking about WikiData as well. For the moment, I don't know how to do that properly.
If you could do a valid example in WikiData of a fountain in Bern *with* a Wikipedia article and one *without* a Wikipedia article, but both examples with commons category, that would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.
