Nearby Wikipedia articles (geosearch) API

Given a latitude/longitude (and optional radius) return Wikipedia articles near that point, each with a recomputed great-circle distance in meters, a compass bearing, and a clean article URL, sorted nearest-first. The value-add is the verified distance + bearing and the ready-to-use links. Answers 'what's near these coordinates', 'Wikipedia articles around this lat/lon', 'nearby landmarks', 'what's at this location'.
