Import data from Geonames dump (http://download.geonames.org/export/dump/)
Challenges:
Status | Subtype | Assigned | Task | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Invalid | None | T102787 [Epic] Add more 3rd party databases to check against | |||
Invalid | None | T96857 [Story] Use dump from Geonames to crosscheck data on Wikidata |
GeoNames includes incorrect data, which should not be imported to Wikidata. See:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property_talk:P1566
http://api.geonames.org/get?geonameId=2986554&username=temp1&style=full
Nevertheless, GeoNames is a very useful database. I hope the use of P1566 may be increased to 9,000,000 from 490,687.
