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:

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.
