Yes, I thought our current 8% is a bit low. I know that 29.6 %
of all articles are biographies (5.6% women + 24.0 % men),
because we categorize by gender just like the German
Wikipedia, and I would guess that we could reach a similar
number for articles tied to geographic coordinates.
Interwiki would be a fine help for places outside of Sweden.

I have a bot account and I think I can inject the coordinates,
but I don't have a toolserver account, so I need some help
to compile the list. Maybe you can offer such lists for any
language given as a parameter? The bot would have to adopt
to local templates and policies, of course. Or the generated
list could be used for manual projects. The MySQL statement
could have a "limit 500", and after these have been fixed,
the tool would generate the next 500.
