1) Wikipedia is written to a large extent by the type of nerds who
like complete sets. Thus for example even stations so obscure that
they never actually got built get a mention:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_London_Underground_stations#Central_Line_developments

We don't quite get as far as the stations that never actually existed
(the secret BBC one for example) but I'm sure we will in time.

2)The tag for important omissions is {{NPOV}}.
