In the Netherlands we had the luck that the RCE provided all the coordinates
- that means that we have roughly a coverage of 100%. The good thing about
that is that you can build upon that with your toolings and enable people to
find monuments nearby easily.
The part I like most is actually where people start correcting the mistaken
coordinates, which were previously for example on the southern hemisphere :P

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.
Cheers

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.
