Query Wikipedia from GeoViz Toolkit #49

I also think it would be awesome to incorporate wikipedia or something
similar to this particular application. I often encounter deaths in some
place that seem unusual to me, and I want to learn more about why so many
died in the 70's in Peru or whatever. It would be very neat if something
akin to the question output that Geojunction can provide (a simple sentence
that summarizes what the user has done recently - a time range, filtered
based on geography, about a particular subset of variables  - so "1970-1975,
Columbia and its neighbors, related to fatalities and attacks") could be
sent to wikipedia to see what it finds.
