Hi everyone,
I noticed that the link of the geographical place to a website (if exists), is available only in the alternate names table.
Now, since this table contains information about the alternate names in various languages of the geographical places, wouldn't make sense to put this "link" field (the one that brings to the en wiki page) directly in the main table dowloadable in allCountries.zip?
Also, it could be really interesting to have a direct association between the place and its website on a single table.
Even if adding the links is probably going to increase the size of the file, it is also true that there are not so many links, with respect to the total number of geographical places, so it shouldn't be a great deal.
What do you think?
