Nice!
Short suggestion:
maybe you can integrate your service with this API
http://wikilocation.org
This offers all the pages with coordinates inside wikipedia
At the end of this page you can find also the data dumps
http://wikilocation.org/documentation/

Geonames offers also some API related to wikipedia
http://www.geonames.org/export/wikipedia-webservice.html#findNearbyWikipedia

last suggestion:
openstreetmap api
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Xapi
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API

Again congratulations for you nice application!
