                    failing due to geonames.org API change

Geonames now requires a &username=… parameter to its API, see:
http://www.geonames.org/export/web-services.html

This makes some plugins, e.g.: Wikipedia, earthquakes etc., fail with the
following error in the description_* files in the cache:
Please add a username to each call in order for geonames to be able to identify
the calling application and count the credits usage.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable the Wikipedia online service.
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens. Even moving around on the map makes nothing appear. Debugging
the issue reveals the technical details mentioned above.

Expected Results:  
It just works.
