Isn’t the point of Wikipedia that you can create one?

Unfortunately, Wikipedia doesnâ€™t have an article for Rahoon

Why you dont invent your own URI? :) Anyway, I was in Rahoon for 10 months. It is far from DERI.

John: Looking forward to meeting you next week. Keep the reports from Busan coming! The URI you gave is a nice web page about Rahoon, but not usable as an identifier for the locality (a web page is not a geographic place). I added a foaf:page link from my blank node to the page.

Bernhard: You are right, but I don't know much about the place and don't want to clutter Wikipedia with unnecessary stubs.

Bernard: Cool! I moved the place a few meters eastward to coincide with the location given in the Galway city map. Also assigned Galway County as the administrative area. Rahoon is, legally speaking, a â€œcivil parishâ€.

Well, seems something got wrong in geonames data base
http://www.geonames.org/6619440/rahoon.html works OK
But http://sws.geonames.org/6619440/ is ‘unknown record’ … will investigate.
