Congratulations for the stub creation, they are good (and better that those handmade stubs in other languages).
About the Wikidata placeholder project, it sounds very interesting. 2015-09-06 2:40 GMT+02:00 Anders Wennersten <m...@anderswennersten.se>: > Geonames [1] is a database which holds around 9 M entries of geographical > related items from all over the world. > > Lsjbot is now generating articles from a subset of it, after several > months of extensive research on its quality, Wikidata relations and > notability issues.
