## Summary

- Local Wikipedia is a site that gathers Wikipedia articles near a neighborhood, region, landmark, postal code, or your current location that you enter. The source says it only covers articles that have location coordinates.
- According to the source's description, if there are fewer than 25 entries nearby, it pulls the closest 25 within about 6 miles (about 10km). If there are more than 500, it includes only the closest 500.
- The source states that location information stays inside the browser and is not included in shared links.
- The source states that this site has no affiliation with the actual Wikipedia.

  O: This is useful for people preparing to move who enter a neighborhood name and browse nearby documents to check the local history and landmarks before moving.
  X: According to the original description, the retrieval range is limited to about 6 miles and only documents with coordinates appear, so there may be few nearby results.
