Hello radek-drlicka,
you continue making mechanical additions of names as well as new features without following the automated edits policy (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct) despite having been asked not to in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/47907976
Please stop making those edits and document and discuss what you do before continuing. There are various both legal and semantic issues with mass addition of information from wikipedia/wikidata.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Wikidata#Importing_data ... "Conversely, data may be copied from Wikidata without restriction."
I do not "mechanical" additions, I read all item from wikidata and when there is any mistake or I know better exonym I use better one (I am not bot). I do not use "every" toponym from wikidata, especially I am not sure it is correct. I do not understand: what you mean about "semantic" issues?... Did I wrote any incorrect tag? -

Regarding the mechanical nature of your edits please read the 'Scope' section on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct
When you add dozens of name tag in different languages in minutes intervals there is no way you can verify this information so this is a mechanical edit even if done with an interactive tool.
Regarding semantic issues - there are a lot of errors in wikipedia and wikidata - wrong names, wrong classifications of objects, interwiki links not representing identical objects etc. We do not want these errors in OSM. You are clearly not familiar with many of the regions you make edits in so you are not able to recognize many of these errors.
Regarding legal issues - while using wikidata as a source of information for manual mapping is not critical (although you should never use it as an only source) using it as a bulk data source is. Wikidata has no strict policies regarding sources of the information, many of the things there have been copied from Google Maps and other restricted sources. Such data should not be entered in bulk into OSM and which is part of the reason why imports need to go through a review process (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines). See also https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=618536#p618536
So once more: please do not continue with your edits before discussing them in a broader scope (due to the international scope best would be the talk mailing list).

Is it possible to copy data from wikidata to TXT file, then to control them and then paste them to JOSM sofrware and send it to OSM database in minute intervals?
I know that there is sometimes wrong classification of objects in wikidata. I think Wikidata has strict policies regarding sources, you can add to wikidata only what you have right to public under wikidata licence (lincencing must be compatible). Ok, I will send to OSM database of only very, very, very sure toponyms. But I think it is disproportional purism.
