In french the success story is a combination of different process: *a very active french heritage project, with the creation of all the articles about historical monuments in france *the developpment of the tools on toolserver for the visualization of geolocated articles on maps like google maps *some peoples fall in love of this tools and start to add kml template on each categories of articles that could be visualized this way *categorization of the articles laking geolocalization in hidden cats "articles lacking geolocalisation", very efficient !
Obviously there is more parametrer like the creation of the list of all the heritage site per canton in switzerland, it makes a strong example for other wikipedian.

What different projects and success stories do we have for adding geographic coordinates to existing articles in various languages of Wikipedia? In some languages there are WikiProjects, but I think they were more active some years ago.
I tried to count now, and I think the Swedish language Wikipedia has 32,600 geographic coordinates for its 404,000 articles or one coordinate per 12.4 articles. Is that reasonable or is it far below the average?
I need a success story to learn from.
