As you _may_ recall, Wikipedia works by an iterative
process: articles
created now can be improved later.
The problem is the implied validation of likely POV
material by Wikipedia should it allow it to be
uploaded *en masse. I have no problem with it being
added *by hand. I for one dont want to see Wikipedia
favoritism going toward taking sides in an ethnic
dispute-- with POV numbers disguised as "statistics."
Im sure there are other who agree with me, despite
their silence.
Theres also the issue that these number according to
their source are under "Moral copyright" -- something
that perhaps Alex (not just the non-lawyers) should
comment on.
Respectfully to all,
