Wikimapia Scraper
Spider read wikimapia.org in 1.9 s without a browser and returned 165 lines of clean markdown, including sections like "About Wikimapia", "What NPOV is not" and "Advertising".
# About Wikimapia### What NPOV is notSince Wikimapia's maps and the information contained therein, are not a forum for discussion, places must be added with extra care. This is especially true of places that are sensitive and controversial in nature. Therefore, brevity is sometimes preferable over verbose information because the temptation to pad out descriptions with opinions and promotions of personal interest is lessened. Typical verbiage to be avoided includes:* Feelings, opinions, experiences. Words which display a personal bias or agendaWhen in doubt, follow the old saying: *If you do not have anything nice to say do not say anything at all*. Non-NPOV descriptions shall either be removed or updated to reflect objectivity in compliance with Wikimapia's NPOV policy.### AdvertisingWikimapia only allows advertising through its Ad service. Advertising made through any of Wikimapia's other services (i.e. map tools, object comments section, forum etc.) is forbidden. This means that you cannot use non-Ad services for commercial, self-promotional or propaganda purposes.We understand that it can be tempting to tag your projects, company or business, and we do not forbid you to do that, but please remember that a neutral point of view is essential to any description of a place in Wikimapia. In other words, no one will mind seeing factual information about your business eg. company name, address, what you do or sell, how long has the company existed, a link to its website etc.For promotional opportunities please use Wikimapia Ads instead.## Policies### Wikimapia GuidelinesThe Wikimapia Guidelines are actually the **official rules** for Wikimapia and should be adhered to strictly and regarded as the official regulations which supplement the Terms of Reference.### Terms of Reference### Forum Guidelines*Main article: Forum Guidelines*The same call, in code.
