How to correct errors? I found some museum with the name that matches a city (but not exactly) to be placed in that city while it is in a city at the other side of the country. I guess some AI has been used.

Also some markers refer to areas and they are just placed at the center of that area. The marker for a country just placed in some random field.

I guess it's based on Wikidata's "coordinate location" property. You can find the Wikidata item corresponding to a Wikipedia article using the "Tools" dropdown in the desktop view. (Or just search on Wikidata directly.)

The data comes from Wikidata's P625 coordinate location property. It has to be corrected on Wikidata itself. Could you share some examples for where you think the data is incorrect?

I corrected the location for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_Ensched%C3%A9 to the address mentioned in the article. It was placed somewhere in the city of Enschede.
