mwDumper is essential also for anyone wiling to replicate a wiki locally for
any purpose. There are alternatives such as xml2SQL or importDump.php but
mwDumper is the most efficient in terms of correctness and completeness or
speed sometimes.

I am still able to import the dumps using the old mwDumper (modified to fix

I have been using the dumps for few months and I think this kind of dumps is

The two fastest are xml2sql and the python script (xray). The best results
is from importDump.php
mwDumper is slow but it gives good results.

I think Google applications use the data crawled from their own datbases and
of course Google has almost all last updates of Wikipedia articles with all
its information including the Geo addresses.
