Nice site.
But when I read the following at http://buildingequalsyes.spum.org/about/:
"Where did all the Where On Earth IDs come from?
Flickr!
Shortly, I hope to import them all back in to OpenStreetMap so that each
building (specifically, each way tagged building=yes) will have one or
more woe:PLACETYPE=WOEID tags associated with it."
I think it is a bad idea to import Flickr woeid back into OSM when you
can retrieve the ID yourself with the Yahoo API at any time.
Yes, I agree. Also many of the WOEID placenames seem to be of dubious
accuracy.
I've checked a few places near me, several of the "towns" are just a few
houses, and in the wrong locations. It looks like they are originally
from GNS or similar?
