Hi! Thanks for creating this tool, it can be very helpful and would love to use it. However, importing from Wikipedia a a source is a bad habit and not very useful. As a Dutch user, would it be possible to use [parlement.com](http://parlement.com) instead for example? And would it be possible to filter on politicians with sources other than Wikipedia?

I would add to this: is it possible to include a restriction that does NOT allow Wikipedia to be cited as a source? I have been through the process of deleting dozens of unsourced data that another user uploaded with PoliLoom. This is a real problem.
