folks,

is there a list of the possible entries for the "feature" element that is returned from a wikipedia search?

i'm seeing things like "city" "mountain" "waterbody"

i want to allow my users to choose which ones to display or filter out.

thanks,

john

i'm guessing this list changes periodically as you add more articles...

are there any plans to provide this list dynamically at some point?

The 'features' are manually entered in wikipedia and are very chaotic. We therefore don't plan to provide any webservice for them.
On the list are only the 'features' with 10 or more occurences there are thousands of features that occur only once, because of misspellers and other reasons.

I cannot make the paging work for findNearbyWikipedia. The startRow does not change the starting row.

Please help.

The findNearbyWikipedia service does not support paging and the startRow parameter is therefore not implemented (for performance reasons). It is not planned to implement it.
