Hello,

can anybody explain to me, why it is this following way, that dbpedia has more 
georeferenced "things" or entries around 986000 
[http://wiki.dbpedia.org/Datasets] and wikipedia 920373 georeferenced wikipedia articles 
[http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProjekt_Georeferenzierung/Wikipedia-World]?

this is because some articles may have multiple values for the coordinates of the place, e.g. http://dbpedia.org/resource/Florian%C3%B3polis. If you check its Wikipedia source at [1], you will find that there is a coordinate value in the infobox, as follows:

   *|latd                   = 27
   |latm                   = 50
   |lats                   =
   |latNS                  = S
   |longd                  = 48
   |longm                  = 25
   |longs                  =
   |longEW                 = W*

and there is also another value in the "External links" section with value:

   *{{Coord|-27.5717|-48.6256|type:city|display=title}}*

and since both values are extracted you will have 2 coordinate values for the same DBpedia resource.
