We have parsed and extracted geo location from the wikipedia dumps in english and german.

We have thus been able to extract the geolocation of 155'000 Wikipedia entries in 189 languages:

A google maps mashup is here :

Fulltext search over geo referenced wikipedia articles :

The data is also available as webservice : http://www.geonames.org/export/wikipedia-webservice.html

For more information about geo location in wikipedia :

Or in German :
