Seeing this edit, I was confused, as latitude as given in infobox and Geography seem to vary by four seconds; can you tell me which one you intended? Nyttend (talk) 02:33, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for cleaning up the Alaska NRHP lists; I thought I'd checked the tables before I placed them, but apparently not. Nyttend (talk) 20:09, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
I feel like taking another shot at getting Surrender of Japan up to FA status. Does that sound like something you'd be interested in doing? Raul654 (talk) 17:59, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
I am working with the original NR nomination files for properties in Massachusetts and found that many UTM coordinates (in the NAD27 datum) have been incorrectly transferred to NAD83. As a result, many Wikipedia NR notations in Google Earth are substantially off. I am new to Wikipedia editing. How can I contribute? Who should I contact? RDescartes61 (talk) 02:34, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Sorry. By "NR" I meant National Register of Historic Places. I have revised coordinates only for Massachusetts properties, and without the nomination files themselves, I would be unable to contribute to efforts in other states. RDescartes61 (talk) 02:04, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

which are broken in several ways, e.g. having seconds outside the range of 0<=s<60, show up in Category:Coord template needing repair#contents. I'm chipping away at them. The NHRP lists are easy, because they're almost entirely cases where some algorithm converted from decimal degrees to d/m/s, rounding off the seconds without rolling over 60" to 1'0".Hi, from the look of my watchlist you seem to be doing a really good job on fixing the coords etc on some of the articles in Somerset & I wondered if you would be willing to take a look at Category:Somerset articles missing geocoordinate data?— Rod talk 22:21, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
FYI - I went and nominated the Surrender of Japan article on the FAC. Can you provide a source for this quote: "It should be clearly made known to Russia that she owes her victory over Germany to Japan, since we remained neutral, and that it would be to the advantage of the Soviets to help Japan maintain her international position, since they have the United States as an enemy in the future". Google books turned up a hit for 'The Rising Sun' by John Toland, but not a page number. Raul654 (talk) 08:56, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
What do you think about the article now? Raul654 (talk) 06:47, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
You're probably correct about Mrs. Roosevelt's observation. However, in working with a local photographer to supply these photos for the Hingham main page, as well as the Old Ship Church page -- as well as other photos on the Samuel Lincoln page, the Benjamin LIncoln page, the Plymouth County page, the Brockton page, the Massachusetts history page and other local pages -- it takes awhile to get around to photographing everything. Especially when the (gifted) photographer is shooting for nothing and is working around another job. MarmadukePercy (talk) 06:19, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
I've just found (before I placed it, so you'll not have to fix it) a National Register site in Utah that's listed at ((coord|2127537610|30|742170348748850|N|1799742532|58|30691836297216000|W |name=Walbeck, Glen M. and Roxie, House))
. I don't know about you, but I find this pretty impressive: I never imagined that there was a site about two billion degrees north of the Equator :-) I've listed it, using the standard coord template, at the usual NRHP errors page. My question to you: is there any problem to having such a coord template on the other page? I know it's not a problem for that page, but will its placement in the bad-coords category impede those of you who fix broken coords? Please un-template the coords if this is a problem. And hopefully you find this absurdity rather funny :-) Nyttend (talk) 18:25, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
At Isefjord, Lammefjord and Hornsherred, you have been "fixing" coordinates by
What's up with that? –Henning Makholm (talk) 23:09, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
((coord|55.77|11.5 |format=dms))

, Geohack ignored all the "|type=waterbody|scale=5000000|region=DK

For almost 17 months after you created this category the problem that it indicated seemed to have been ignored. Since December 2008 it has started to be addressed. It would be extremely helpful to those of us who are addressing the problem if User pages could somehow be excluded from the category. While some of these pages are using the project banner inappropriately but are not really causing any harm, many of these pages are scripts of some sort and have a legitimate need for the project banner.
Is there anyway you could excluded user pages from this category?
Thank you.
There are fewer than 20 such pages on Category:Pages with DEFAULTSORT conflicts so identifying the new additions is not difficult. There could be a few hundred on the subject category but as it will take a while longer to reduce the category to just those items there is time for someone with some categorization knowledge and programming skills to do something. I need to find a guru.
Thank you for your appreciation of the problem. Category:Pages with DEFAULTSORT conflicts had 2,777 pages when I started. After more than 3,000 edits it is now almost clean.
Based on the references on Talk:Anderson Goose Lake, I added coordinates. -- User:Docu
Hi, you're quite right to say that Hiei and Kirishima were reclassified as battleships but they weren't rebuilt, merely strengthened a little. But they remained effectively battlecruisers and were less well armoured than their German equivalent Scharnhorst class. When it came to the test, Kirishima was blown apart by Washington, as you'd expect with a BB v BC. I won't revert this but "light battleship" would be a fair compromise between BC and BB.

This is to acknowledge all your good work on articles relating to solar power stations. Thanks. Johnfos (talk) 07:48, 27 May 2009 (UTC) |
Hi Wwoods. Thanks for adding the cite to Apollo 11 and 27th_World_Science_Fiction_Convention. However, I really wonder if these citations are correct. I notice that the official Hugo site ( http://www.thehugoawards.org/?page_id=50 ) makes no mention of this award (indeed, searching the site for, for instance, Aldrin, yields nothing). I think there is a chance that the NESFA page you used to cite the articles may have just been copied from Wikipedia. The wording of the "special award", with the "Ever" ending, so reminiscent of Comic_Book_Guy, makes me still fairly certain that this is a hoax. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Perhaps I should post my "concern" on the Apollo 11 talk page. Cheers, Doctormatt (talk) 18:10, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi. I would like to ask whether you would agree to participate in a short survey on how to cover scientific uncertainties/controversies in articles pertaining to global warming and climate change.

Thanks for the excellent cleanup on this article. Handicapper (talk) 12:57, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
P.S. - Would you mind checking out the Coordinates for Kentucky Association. Much appreciated. Handicapper (talk) 15:20, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing these. It appears that the replace I typed in had an error in some cases. By the way how did you find them? Enter CambridgeBayWeather, waits for audience applause, not a sausage 02:44, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

with various errors show up in Category:Coord template needing repair, which I've been beating on. You can also see this if you set your preferences to show hidden categories, which lets you know immediately if you've done something wrong.I removed the two old sandbox articles rather than have you fix them.

I'll fix it, thanks. -- HurricaneERIC - Class of '08: XVII Maius MMVIII 20:46, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing these. It sounds obvious now that you point it out, but I didn't know the max was 60 so I'll keep an eye out for that in the future. I just cut and pasted the article that you fixed into my sandbox so it should be good but, if not, feel free to fix it. Thanks again.RevelationDirect (talk) 02:05, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing in Gosairhat Upazila page these. It appears that you have edited —WWoods (06:01, 25 September 2009 (UTC) Gosairhat Upazila (fix coords: dec/dms confusion) the coordinates of Gosairhat as: 23°3′39″N 90°26′0″E But if we see the exact location of Gosairhat upazila Headquarter, it is 23.0765289°N/90.4318678 as per wikimapia. : Yeah, you can see here
i was trying to point towards my city hall. i didn't know the coordinates now needed to be in minutes/seconds form instead of decimal form.... i'll remove it immediately so i can fix it RingtailedFox • Talk • Contribs 06:00, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
