One of the big differences between #Wikipedia and #OpenStreetMap is that in WP original research is banned, and in OSM, it's our gold standard!

You don't need to find 3rd party references before you can add something to OSM. “I went there and looked at it (here's a photo)” is not only the OK, but actually _better_ than (e.g.) a newspaper article!

Wikipedia Admins open hostility against articles on African content is draining. Again having to fight to keep an article from being deleted by a single admin. Hey dude pre-internet 1992 events are difficult to source, Africa doesn't have reams of online archives (eg: magazine, newpaper, local Hansard) from the period. #wikipedia #whybother
