I have no problem on them being removed, but while cross checking they
were a useful reference, and seeing the entry I can see how many are
different in edubase.

Of cause what would be nice is a tool that imports third party data
records given a reference in OSM. But don't assume that the data
provided by the third party are more up to date than the OSM version ;)
A substantial number of the website links I loaded are out of date on
the edubase records :( OSM is now more accurate than edubase ...
