I found this interesting mashup, WikiMapia, which is very cool even though it is missing some of the basic wiki tools. I am having trouble adding pages, but other people aren’t. The process seems to be similar to the way Flickr tags photos.

Wikimapia is a new project created by Alexandre Koriakine and Evgeniy Saveliev aimed at “describing the whole planet earth”. They have created an excellent way to accomplish this goal. Using a mixture of Google Maps satellite imagery, a “wiki” editing mechanism and tagging, Wikimapia lets anyone add or edit a description for any place on earth
