"Welcome to Placeopedia, a simple site where you can connect Wikipedia articles with places, and then make use of our database either to browse, or syndicate the whole lot. We hope that lots of people will connect places they know with their corresponding Wikipedia article, and then our syndicated data can be used as a general geographic lookup table for Wikipedia," says the site, here.
Comment: As you have probably guessed, it uses Google Earth. As you may not have guessed, PlaceOpedia is from MySociety.org in the UK, directed by Tom Steinberg. It uses much the same technology as MySociety's UK site,Your History Here.
MySociety is best known for FaxYourMP.com, which is being replaced by WriteToThem.com.
