WIWOSM is a really neat project to show the extents and shapes on the map of the features described in the wikipedia arctivle, and not just a single point pin. Particularly for extended objects like rivers or routes this can be very useful. The WikiMiniAtlas version even allows for size comparisons, by allowing you to move around the shape of an object as an overlay to anywhere in the world. e.g. to compare California to the UK or London to Berlin So perhaps one of the projects of the week / month could be to "wikify" all of the major rivers, regions and any other objects that would be useful to highlight on the Wikipedia maps. It could even be a joint project between wikipedia editors and osm mappers.
