        Hoi,
        It was from the Myanmar WIkipedia that a lot of data was
        imported to
        Wikidata. Data that did not exist elsewhere. I do not care
        really what
        "Freedom House" says. I do not know them, I do know that the
        data is
        relevant and useful It was even the subject on a blogpost..

        You may ignore data that is not from a source that you like. This
        indiscriminate POV is not a NPOV.


    Isn't the point that the data was taken primarily because it was
    available, and that
    there was no attempt to verify its accuracy. If I give you 10,000
    images of lichen but
    before hand randomly switch the names of 2000 of them and add
    misleading geodata
    randomly to another 2000 are the images useful as data? Would
    including them
    improve NPOV?
