imho: probably you have a local and domain knowledge on the topic of "Flemish churches" but for me: wikidata without wikipedia page - is extremely suspicious because: #1. Sometimes the " nearby" search for geolocated articles/wikidataids is not enough for example: * at least ~28000 churches exist in the wikidata without coordinates: http://tinyurl.com/y8nyk9zw And probably we will also find wikidata cities without coordinates. #2. And we should aware of the current "Parallel geo worlds" problem in the wikidata[1] for example: Arad ( major City in Romania ) has 3 wikidata, and we should prefer id with wikipedia pages. * https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q173591 ( with wikipedia pages, linked to OSM ) * https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q31886684 ( created by Cebuano import [1] ~1 month ago) * https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16898082 [1] wikidata cebuano import problem: * https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/ 2017/08#Dealing_with_our_second_planet * https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/ Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/2017/08#Nonsense_imported_from_Geonames Imre 2017-09-27 5:03 GMT+02:00 Marc Gemis <marc.ge...@gmail.com>: > On Wed, Sep 27, 2017 at 1:17 AM, Andy Townsend <ajt1...@gmail.com> wrote: > > That's simply rubbish.
