[WikiEN-l] Rambot Census Junk

I stronly object to that information as junk.  It is extremely useful, and deserves to be in the Wikipedia, just as much as information about any other location in the world.

Let's do remember, though, that mass-importing raises a lot of
additional issues that are relevant here.

One of the checks and balances against triviality is "can it be
confirmed?" Another important one is "has anyone bothered to write
about it?" Mass-imports defeat this latter check, and so are subject
to a higher degree of scrutiny than hand-edited entries.

That is the essence of what is wrong with the Rambot census junk
