[OSM-talk] wikipedia tag?

the idea is cool, and there already has been some discussion on this 
issue. IMHO the other way around would be much better. If Wikipedia 
provided an API to ask if there are articles for a certain geolocation, 
we didn't need to enter and maintain all the URLs.

Example:
http://www.geonames.org/export/wikipedia-webservice.html

You can also search the archives based on the subject "Wikipedia 
Integration".

Best regards,
