I guess I just take these things personally, but many of those geographical
entries are more articles than those other 50k non-geographical articles.  They
have more information.  People are just uncomfortable because they don't like
the data because it does not interest them or because it was created in a mass
quantity.  No one complains when others write articles that have two or three
sentences.  In fact no one complained when I made these articles on a small
scale, in fact I got a number of people who told me it was a great thing.  I
think we need to stop separating the geographics articles from everything else.
 They are all articles and should be treated as such.  If you don't like them,
add to them.
