Did you literally copy text from an encyclopedia? If so, is it free to
re-use under a licence compatible with the GNU GPL that Freeciv is
licensed under?

For instance, Wikipedia articles are licensed under CC-BY-SA, which is
incompatible with the GNU GPL, so we wouldn't be able to distribute
anything derived from Wikipedia with Freeciv.

(I'm afraid I won't be able to commit the localisation until this point
is resolved.)
