            Bug ID: 331552
           Summary: Integrate wikilocation.org for retrieving wikipedia
                    articles, part 1: Compare geonames and wikilocation
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: marble
           Version: 1.7 (KDE 4.12)
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: google-code-in, junior-jobs
          Severity: task
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: marble-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: earthwings at gentoo.org

The online service Wikipedia in Marble retrieves wikipedia articles by location
from geonames.org and displays them on the map. The service is limited to a
certain number of daily queries since some time. This task is about researching
a way to use wikilocation.org as an additional source for wikipedia articles.
Either
- query articles from both geonames and wikilocation in parallel
- replaces geonames with wikilocation or
- run wikilocation when detecting that we used up the limit

To decide for the best approach this task is about doing some research wrt to
the quality of both services:
- Do both differ in the articles they provide? Compare a couple of sample
locations
- What kind of additional information do they provide that is useful for
Marble?
- Are there any speed differences between them?
