[talk-ph] bulk import of wikipedia POIs to OSM

[maning sambale]

Over at the main OSM list, there is a discussion on importing POIs
from wikipedia articles:
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2009-May/036582.html

The main discussion revolves around whether we should or shouldn't
import given that some of the POIs location (lon/lat) maybe derived
from Google Map.  I'm not really familiar with wikipedia's POI data
particularly for the Philippines.  Do we need to add them here?  Or
there will be major conflicts with existing POIs we have already
added.

Any ideas?
