Any reason not to go through Wikipedia and import everything with a  
coordinate as a POI, with a url=http://wikipedia.org/NAME link, and  
name=NAME where NAME is the name of the Wikipedia entry?  If I do this  
under a special username, then there is no problem backing out the  
import if somebody has a better idea later.
