1. places of worship

   A place of worship is a specially designed structure or space where individuals or a group of people such as a congregation come to perform acts of devotion, veneration, or religious study. A building constructed or used for this purpose is sometimes called a house of worship. Temples, churches, mosques, and synagogues are examples of structures created for worship. A monastery may serve both to house those belonging to religious orders and as a place of worship for visitors. Natural or topographical features may also serve as places of worship, and are considered holy or sacrosanct in some religions; the rituals associated with the Ganges river are an example in Hinduism. Under International Humanitarian Law and the Geneva Conventions, religious buildings are offered special protection, similar to the protection guaranteed hospitals displaying the Red Cross or Red Crescent. These international laws of war bar firing upon or from a religious building. Religious architecture expresses the religious beliefs, aesthetic choices, and economic and technological capacity of those who create or adapt it, and thus places of worship show great variety depending on time and place.

1. Places of Worship

   There are places of worship for all kinds of religions, all over the world. We want them in Freebase!Start with one of the lists on the right, choosing whatever religion or type of place of worship takes your fancy. Get a list of mosques, temples, basilicas, or whatever, and import them using our list import tool. That's a good start, but it's not all we need to do: many of the items in those lists don't yet exist in Freebase, so choosing Add new in the import tool will create a topic, but we won't know anything more about it than that it's a place of worship. This can cause trouble for us later, for instance if we try to reconcile against another data set. So, take the time to visit the topic pages for any places of worship you add, and note the type of place of worship, religion, and at least a rough location (even knowing the country is better than nothing.)Want a better way to pre-fill some of this data? Rather than starting from the list import tool linked above, start from a specific religion or type of place of worship, like Mormonism or Gurdwara. If necessary, click on the N empty fields link to open out all the empty fields for editing. The click on the arrow next to Places of worship (current) or Places of worship of this type and choose Import list. This will take you to the list importer, but it will not only create places of worship, it will also note the relevant religion and/or type of place of worship.When you're doing importing, tell us about it by adding your work to the list of Mobbed Topics below.
