I think Nima was referring to articles of monuments / places of interest that have GPS coordinates in them.  For example, the Trevi Fountain is at these coordinates: 41.902773°N 12.485952°E

by joining pageviews and coordinate data, you could create heat maps that may correlate with actual tourist traffic.

Hi there, 

Hope my email finds you well. My name is Nima Dashtban and I'm a student of computer science in Ca'foscari University of Venice / Italy. 
 
I am investigating these access logs of wikipedia pages:

In particular I would like to build up an DB of the time series of accesses to (Italian) pages of wikipedia that have a GPS position, i.e. wikipedia page that refer to geographical point of interests. I think that such data could be useful as predictive signal of interest of potential visitors of such geographical places.

Any help of you whether you say it is possible or not would be huge for me.

Sincerely and Regards,
Nima Dashtban
