Hoi,
the two are not the same. Wikipedia will only show what Wikipedia knows.
Wikidata is more extended.
Bots have imported the majority if not all GPS locations.. certainly from
en.wp.
Thanks,

Thanks Nemo,
Why not? Because I didn't know it existed, thanks for telling me about it.
Back to my original question, now updated,
I've just been introduced to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Nearby
which lists articles near your current location and
https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikishootme/ which can show you articles near
places your are planning to visit. From the thumbnails it is fairly
obvious whether it has an image or not.
Has anyone tried using these in outreach to photographers?
Regards

Why not use
