Yes, and we are updating our DB from the toolserver DB. There seem to be several issues, and Tomasz Finc or Arthur can summarize them.<div><br></div><div>In brief, we had to do things in a temporary way in order to meet the deadline.</div>

Hi Philip,<div><br></div><div>Maybe I&#39;m wrong here, but as far as I&#39;m aware, the current monument database is actually being scraped each night from the wikipedia lists. So basically it is a mirror of the lists with a lag up to 24 hours (if toolserver works etc). But maybe we&#39;re talking about different databases? Probably it would be easiest to just use one way or another the Monument Database we&#39;re running, rather than reinventing the wheel. </div>

<div>Back to Lodewijk&#39;s idea of articles and monuments, we unfortunately have an issue with monuments, simply because the database is not maintainable. However, I have wondered about accessing monuments through the Wikipedia pages that list them.</div>
