thank you Ed, 

for curid I mean pageid of the article.
I basically nead the title, the pageid, the thumbnail (and if possible also the meters of distance from your position )
is it already in your package?

You should find an example below the doc if you scan the page for
list=geosearch, I think it has this:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=geosearch&gsradius=10000&gscoord=37.786971|-122.399677

It is possible to use the geosearch query as a generator for getting
page information, like revision ids (is that what you meant by
curid?). In wikigeo I wanted to get back image information, summary
text, categories etc, so my api call was somewhat involved. I could
try to write up something about it if you are interested.
