[OSM-talk] How to map alleys in African cities?

[Oleksiy Muzalyev]

I was curious to view some photos of these streets. There are several 
English Wikipedia articles for Ibadan, Nigeria:

http://ausleuchtung.ch/geo_wiki/?lat=7.369838460195496&lng=3.9120769500732426&zm=14&lang=en&ds=wiki&rd=10

and several French Wikipedia articles:

http://ausleuchtung.ch/geo_wiki/?lat=7.372647464951621&lng=3.9178276062011714&zm=14&lang=fr&ds=wiki&rd=10

Surprisingly, almost all these Wikipedia articles are without photos. 
Adding some ground and aerial photos would make much clearer what kind 
of streets and alleys are these. For example, this stadium and park in 
Eurasia are illustrated in such a way that it is possible to see the 
subject and its surroundings on the ground:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centre_sportif_du_Bout-du-Monde
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parc_Baud-Bovy

And the article of the Obafemi Awolowo Stadium in Ibadan 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obafemi_Awolowo_Stadium though existing in 
several languages, German, Spanish, etc. is without any photo.

I mean it is possible also to clarify a character of streets and alleys 
of a place with some ground and aerial images in a corresponding 
Wikipedia article and Wikimedia category.

Best regards,
Oleksiy
