The nearest Wikipedia entry to me is about a 3 hours 15 minute walk away, the nearest town. But there are so many interesting things closer, perhaps I should add them to the wiki. Twenty minutes to the north there's a pleasant shady area at the bottom of a canyon with a fallen log with a curve that fits my buttocks nicely. Fifteen minutes to the southeast there is a dead elk cow that has only been 3/4 eaten by the local coyotes, etc., and has a quite remarkable odor. To the northeast is the spot where I found a perfect arrowhead, the prize of my collection. But maybe it's better for me to horde these places to myself.
I have just the thing for you. With a chattymap collection, you can tell stories about all those wonderful places and share them with the world:
Your description excited me to click the link. Then I was met with a generic landing page and then clicking map didn’t show me a map. It should just be a map with the stories immediately available as markers. Then clicking through to an about link should take you to that secondary content.
I agree. What I expected was a place for very personal little stories and journals about specific, hyperlocal spots on Earth. What I got was an empty site for public polls on restaurants in large cities.
That is good feedback - much appreciated.
There isn't enough content to showcase on the map right now but I'll work on that. Give it another go in a couple of weeks or so.

I await with bated breath the entry about that ergonomic log.
I wonder if its more common to notice interesting and special places when in nature versus in the built environment. All of your examples are from nature, and most of mine would be too. But considering it further... in college there was a nook I found on the second floor of a nondescript building, where lounge chairs were built into the floor and covered with astroturf, and at just after midday the sun would shine down on it through a sort of compluvium in the roof. I'd been on that campus for almost three years before I discovered it, and only visited a few times because it was quite out of the way. But what a quiet little refuge, I hope its still there.

There is not even an entry for a river, mountain, lake, etc? Do you live in the middle of the ocean or desert?
Atlas Obscura is your answer to this:

Part of me would want to share these pleasant places with others. Part of me would not.
As first-hand accounts I don't think you could enter these on Wikipedia anyway.

You live in an area rich with history stretching back 35 - 50 thousand years
Indeed. The project in the OP is nonsensical to me, because it's impossible to get the desired result by filtering the real Wikipedia. The articles you'd actually want it to have would blatantly violate WP:N, WP:NPOV and especially WP:NOR.
I live in the middle of Berlin. This makes the wiki like a sight seeing book. I think the radius is way too big here.
