Hi Maarten,

My goal is to obtain a set of articles with coords for different Wikipedias: knowing their title, coords, country-region. I am doing this because I want to study characteristics of this specific group of articles. This is a research study I want to include in my PhD.

Wikidata is great in many senses but I see that property coords does not appear in all the articles which have coords. Besides, country-region appears but in a different format.

I would like to know up to which point geo_tags is realiable, which wikipedias implement it... (and where is the information in that table from, templates from geodata or where.). This would allow me to take a decision on the list of Wikipedias I want to study based on how update the coords are in WikiData or geo_tags...Of course, as many wikipedias as possible would be the best, from big to small ones.

Another option would be to detect links to Geohack as external links and capture their text to see the country-region, but are they available in the tables?

Thanks so much.

Can you elaborate more? What is your real goal? What is your user story? You could probably pull a lot from Wikidata.
