Find Wikipedia articles about places near a geographic coordinate. Returns articles sorted by distance from the query point, with titles, short descriptions, Wikidata QIDs, page IDs, coordinates, and distance in meters. Useful for "what is notable near X?" research workflows. Only articles carrying their own coordinate tag (GeoData, set on the article itself — not the Wikidata item's coordinate) are returned, and that tag is what places and measures each result; not all articles about locations are geotagged, and an article whose tag is wrong appears where the tag puts it, which its description usually makes plain.
