Once again, Wednesday is the new Monday as I am late for sharing a weekly find of _something_ interesting all of the past ones tagged #monday-connect

Are you curious to know where in your local area are places with articles in Wikipedia? Localpedia does a look up based on a location of all Wikipedia articles (finding ones that have geocoded data).

 ![Local Wikipedia, the encyclopedia for local people. A search bar where you enter a town, location, landmark, or postcode](https://connect.oeglobal.org/uploads/default/original/2X/3/3b7230a817e47cb8ce8f5b966e8209eebc37ab22.jpeg)

It returns a “featured” article, a set of “did you know” questions each linked to an article, and access to all the others ones it found.

Gove it a spin and let us know how many articles in local to your location or one of interest.

For the city closest to me, Moose Jaw Saskatchewan, it found **22** articles within 4.7 miles. I did not know [this classic brick building](https://edjefferson.com/localwiki/?w=Moose_Jaw_station_%28Canadian_National_Railway%29) I’ve seen from a distance (and currently home of a spa) was originally a railway station.

> Local Wikipedia is Wikipedia, but only for things a half hour walk from you. If there are fewer than 25 things close to you, it takes the closest 25 things within about 6 miles. If there are more than 500 things only the closest 500 will be included.
