I am not doing anything that needs great accuracy - there are a few hundred pages on Yellowikis have geo tags in this format:
<geo>40 16 05 N 106 53 41 W</geo> I want to use a bot to go through the wiki and use these geo tags to make geo categories: like this: [[Category:USState:CO]] geonames.org looks pretty good for this.
