Well, the query seems good, and I will try to do more in this lenguage. I have another question, I get the result in JSON or CSV format, and then the URL "http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q8660"; goes me to another page with city information.. Can I obtain this information in XML format or JSON? In this way I could parse all the attributes and get the most interesting for me.
