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&gsradi...
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.

Thank you Ed,
indeed, I am looking for smthing like this! I see your examples, is it possible to extend the json in order to get also the curid of articles, not only the url and titles of wiki pages?
Could you also add an example of how to use the list=geosearch api ? (this is wrong .. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=geosearch )
thank you!

You might be interested in the list=geosearch API call. I used it in my demo service ici, which displays articles about your current location:
http://inkdroid.org/ici/I actually ended up pulling out the api querying bits into a separate Javascript library called wikigeo that takes some coordinates, and will query the Wikipedia API, and format the results as GeoJSON for easy placement on Leaflet or Google Maps.

Hi,
wiki exposes the nearby search of articles: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Nearby
I now you can use prop=coordinates to expose the coordinates of one article.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=coordinates&titl...
Is there any api to expose the nearby service for fetching articles close to one's coordinate? How to do the nearby above?
