Woeid to wikipedia articles

Hello everybody,
I read there is already a concordance between Wikipedia and Geoplanet in the meaning: given a Wikipedia article about any place in USA -> extract its woeid.
My question is: are you planning to build a service that works in the opposite way? It would be VERY useful to extract a wikipedia article or description of a place having its woeid.

Thanks bye

It looks like it does, if you try this example:

http://where.yahooapis.com/v1/concordance/.../2367105?appid=[YOUR APPID HERE]

Thanks Matt,
I really don't know how did you find it! In the reference page I could not find an explanation about the namespace "woeid" . Is there a secret place where to look for the special coders? :Dbye
