        @lbmnemosyne they're mostly sourced from Wikipedia. There are almost no checks on accuracy for creators of Wikimedia images, unfortunately

        @tommymiles they're compelling bt when i know the data, like the 1 on imprisonment, they're just wrong. i wrote them but never heard back.

        @lbmnemosyne the only thing I ever heard from them in a similar situation was "we don't create the maps." Sigh

        @calestous @IncredibleMaps little inaccurate. African rail network have 3 or 4 different gauge widths. Not possible to just join them up
