Hi, I am using "wikipediaBoundingBoxJSON" to get access to Wikipedia in this example:

http://www.mappetizer.de/en/examples/osm_wiki/index.html

I noticed quite a few inappropriate place, e.g. Spanish places (Peralta, Navarre) in Oman.
What is wrong?

It seems there was a problem with the parsing of the coordinates for these points. We will have a look at it when we parse the wikipedia data the next time.

Best
