I've been going around in circles on software and not been getting any
real content created for the last few years, so I've decided to ignore
the problems and just get on with material. My starting point is OSM,
and I've been adding links from places in wikipedia to their entry in
OSM. For places read county/borough/city/town/village/hamlet/suburb, the
last four of which Facebook lump under 'city' and make a complete mess
of things.
Plan off attack is to make sure all the places locally exist in
wikipedia and I sort of got off to a good start, but hit a problem with
miss matched names and missing entries. I've modified
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weston_Subedge_railway_station to use the
correct name for the period the railway existed, but there was no page
for
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weston_Sub_Edge which I've created by
cribbing other local villages. My crib sheet of names lists 'Weston
Subedge' as taken from the ONS list but I'm waiting on some feed back
from the Parish Clerk as to the 'official' spelling nowadays.
I've extended
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aston-sub-Edge to include
it's information box.
There is room for more work and additional links to other material, but
basically ... am I on the right line. I'm planning to spiral out, and
have a small list of missing village and hamlets to add to wikipedia and
I'm cross checking everything against my other lists.
