Comment from SomeoneElse
There are a couple of reasons why we can't use wikipedia as a source. One is that wikipedia is cc-by-sa licensed, and that licence is incompatible with OSM.
The other is that what OSM calls a "city" is described on http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dcity . Wikipedia essentially just records what the city calls itself (or strictly speaking what someone has reported the city as calling itself).
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dcity even says "Smaller charter cities should normally be tagged using place=town to avoid these places being promoted too highly in gazetteer search results. According to OSM the population here is 4167, which even for Alaska counts as "smaller".
It should also be noted that admin levels and "place" levels are something that should be discussed within an OSM community - having someone coming in from outside and applying what are essentially random values without discussion just makes OSM data harder to use and OSM harder to edit for the people who _are_ trying to work together. -

Oh sorry... I never thought of that... I will discuss with the community from now on.
