Hi Wiki-Coloradans,
Wanted to share this project from the North Carolina usergroup, if you might want to do something along similar lines:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetup/North_Carolina_Wikipedians/wikipixNC2... https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaign:WikiPixNC
Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos)
Related question if anyone here knows --
I take a lot of photos for Colorado articles (and areas I visit). I find most of them using Special:Nearby https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Nearby.
This will give you something like everything within 10 kilometers or the 50 nearest articles.
I'd really like to more easily access data for this purpose. Some use cases being:
(1) If I'm going on a road trip, are there places within some number of kilometers near the road that I could stop by a photograph?
(2) Given any area that I'm at, what are the nearest unphotographed articles (e.g. further than 10km away).
(3) If there's more than 50 places, can I see all of them within a range?
It doesn't look like this is possible using the API, without doing some custom scripting that makes multiple API location queries? e.g. as it's shown here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Nearby_places_viewer
Is that true?
It seems like to get all articles I'd need to export coordinates for articles separately and make my own search. Which I'd rather now do.

Craig,
I recently ran across this tool: https://wikishootme.toolforge.org/
Which (somehow) does what you're looking for—I'm not sure exactly how it works, but the source is available on BitBucket: https://bitbucket.org/magnusmanske/wikishootme
Hopefully that's useful!

Thank you!
This is very close to what I'm looking for, and I think with some tweaks will get me exactly what I wanted.
