About the site
- Hello, and welcome to Placeopedia, a simple site where you can connect Wikipedia articles with places, and then make use of our database either to browse, or syndicate the whole lot. We hope that lots of people will connect places they know with their corresponding Wikipedia article, and then our syndicated data can be used as a general geographic lookup table for Wikipedia.
- Latest news: We've removed email confirmation, as it was making it too time-consuming to add many posts. We've also made the map a little bit wider, so New Zealanders don't feel left out; and while the map still shows only the latest 15 additions, we've added a count underneath the map of the number of pins not shown on the map. Zoom in and pan around to make them appear.
- We've also set up a public discussion list for people interested in the development of the open source software that Placeopedia runs on.
