RE: Potential Home for LOD Data Sets

Hi Steve,

Changes to Wikipedia *must* be reviewed by a user looking at the wiki
markup. We can build tools to make it easier to create the markup around
Infoboxes, but we can't skip the step of having a user approve the
changed wiki markup. It's a Wikipedia guideline.

Cheers,
Georgi
