Hello,
I took the wikipedia coordinates I got from
http://toolserver.org/~geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Lower_Merion_High_School¶ms=40.0096_N_-75.2800_E_region:US-PA_type:edu

and putted them into
http://ws.geonames.org/findNearbyWikipedia?lat=40.0096&lng=-75.28&maxRows=10

and he does found me nearby articles, but not the one which is exactly in that point according to the wikipedia db.

Can someone help me understand why?

Thanks,
Noam

if an article is not displayed then because it is not in the geonames database. This can have several reasons:
- the article was not yet geolocated when the wikipedia dump was parsed.
- the geo coordinates in the article are using a format/template that is not supported by the parser.

Best

Marc

Thanks Marc
