I believe there is an error in the article from cosmocode:
http://www.cosmocode.de/en/blog/schoenborn/2010-01/24-free-geo-data-solutions-compared-geonames.org-vs.-yahoo-geoplanet
It says that Yahoo GeoPlanet does NOT Provide Geo coordinates but this link
from GeoPlanet does show coordinates:
http://isithackday.com/geoplanet-explorer/index.php?woeid=2500105
Perhaps GeoPlanet has been updated since the cosmocode article was written.

Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] Yahoo Geoplanet Versus GeoNames
I found this web page useful. I thought I would share it:
http://www.cosmocode.de/en/blog/schoenborn/2010-01/24-free-geo-data-solutions-compared-geonames.org-vs.-yahoo-geoplanet
It goes over some of the similarities and differences between geonames and
yahoo geoplanet.
