The English Wikipedia includes an article for nearly every U.S. Census Place. Has anyone published a crosswalk from FIPS codes of these places to Wikipedia urls?

Is this something that would be possible with wikidata?

    SELECT * WHERE { ?article schema:isPartOf <https://en.wikipedia.org/> ; schema:about/wdt:P774 ?fips }? For FIPS 6-4, replace wdt:P774 with wdt:P882. Jun 7, 2018 at 19:34

Is this something that would be possible with Wikidata?

Yes, this is possible:

Try the following query:

 SELECT ?fips_code ?wikipedia_article WHERE {
  ?wikidata_item wdt:P774 ?fips_code .
  ?wikipedia_article schema:about ?wikidata_item .
  ?wikipedia_article schema:isPartOf <https://en.wikipedia.org/> .
} ORDER BY ?fips_code

If you need FIPS 6-4 codes instead of FIPS 55-3 ones, replace wdt:P774 with wdt:P882.
