That is precisely where I started ;) Or rather adding the wikipedia link ... The problem is that even coverage in wikipedia is far from complete so one finds erratic quality of information. Additionally wikidata is still at an early stage and does not have the bulk of the information already in wikipedia, so someone has to go through and change all the information blocks around or add missing ones where needed :( -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
