A very nice person pointed me to how you can get the coordinates from the
API. For example, if you need them for Paris, you can look at this query:
And in general, just substitute the page title you need for Paris and use
the project you need instead of

Hi Nima,
First, the pagecounts-raw dataset is deprecated. Please switch to the
pageviews or pagecounts-ez datasets as explained on this page:
https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/analytics/
Now, if you have a page title, and you'd like to know its coordinates, the
page itself has to be using the coord template in its source, for example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Biberach_(1800) has
{{coord|48||06|N|9||48|E|display=title}} in its source.
To see a large-scale index of this kind of data, see
http://www.geonames.org/wikipedia/
So right now this is pretty manual, as Richard guessed. But it's possible
and it'll get easier if folks like you make a good case for why it's useful.
