Kolossos, Thanks for this work - it's fascinating to see the huge gaps in the data and I was wondering if maybe this reflects the work of lots of individuals who have input those properties by hand, or whether some people have enabled clever bots for their regions that other regions could reuse? (hopefully)
I can see at a glance in the case of the Netherlands that not all objects in the subclass lists that are in the English (or Dutch!) Wikipedia with geo-coordinates are in the overlay maps, so I was wondering how the data got in there. I was also interested to see some slight incorrections in the coordinates for certain subclasses (probably based on some older geocoordinate conversion software for some specific database).
