[HOT] Mali

[AM osm]

>From what I've seen I would recommend to crosscheck with enough radius for
every single entry of geonames with existing place= with name (the are some
areas where a lot of placenames are present already) in order not to
duplicate place/names and preventing deleting work of previous contributors
when cleaning up. And please crosscheck with Bing. A lot of geonames are
obviously 300-600m off, but there are not too few that are 1200-1800m off,
some even 3km off. Thanks.
