				<title>findnearbyWikipedia not returning many obvious entries</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I am trying to find interesting POI's near major cities, but findNearByWikipedia is not returning many items I would expect. For example, doing findNearByWikipedia near Rome, using:

http://api.geonames.org/findNearbyWikipedia?lat=41.895623&lng=12.482269&maxRows=250&username=demo

Does not return The Colosseum, St. Peter's Square or the Vatican. But, finding St. Peter's Square by exact location does seem to work:

http://api.geonames.org/findNearbyWikipedia?lat=41.9022&lng=12.4564&maxRows=50&username=demo

So, the database does seem to know of the location of St. Peter's Square, but somehow does include it when it's "near" something else. 

Any ideas?]]></description>
