List of all articles about cities?
Hi,

I would like to download all articles about cities and then do some

machine learning fun with the text

For example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_de_Janeiro

 ...

Do you have an idea how I can get a list of articles which are about a city?

Regards,

  Thomas Güttler

Since this is a huge list anyway, so you don’t really want a list of _all_
of them, there are many options to approach it. For start, you can try
https://w.wiki/ZQd as an example.

Another way to do it is:

Start at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Cities

Click through the category tree.. for example from there to
"Category:Cities by country" then
"Category:Cities in the United States" -> "Category:Cities in the
United States by county" ->
and so on until you get to a leaf category like "Category:Cities in
Pemiscot County, Missouri"
that contains actual pages instead of more subcategories.

Now go to:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export

and paste the Category:... name into the form field "Add pages from
category:". Click "Add" and
then "Export".

Now you have a single XML file with the contents of the articles of
these cities.










https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export

-> "Add pages from category:" <enter 'cities'> and click 'add' button.
