Hello,
so I have 3.5 Mio objects in my database that are coming from 42
Wikipedias. There are also some objects from projects like
WikiLovesMonuments. Wikidata contains only 1.2 Mio articles, but I hope
this is only a question of time to have all objects.

The database is available on WMLabs now[1].

Each object on the map have pop-up and on the end of it there there you
can find the source. I have in the moment a problem with nl.wp because
they doesn't work in my source from User:dispenser[2].

The problem with kangaroo-isle was a missing icon, it works now.

Greetings Tim
