I'm creating a wiki-style website with a mysql database.
I'm not to this point yet, but I'm thinking ahead of when I'll
need to start populating the database. Obviously the point
is for users to populate it themselves, but I've been to
several travel wiki websites and it seems like they almost
share identical information. Is there some sort of central
data I could tap into? Or just wishful thinking? For
instance, lets say I wanted to populate the database with
the popular cities in every state... is there an easier way
besides manually entering.. or paying someone for data
entry? Maybe wikis aren't as magic as I thought they were.

Thanks
