Maps requested
Hi AB. It's not clear why you added the "map requested" tag to various Czech Republic related articles. If you want co-ordinates, you may use {{Coord missing}}. I would have thought, in general terms, coordinates are more useful than maps. Thoughts? Thanks, C679 13:31, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Cloudz679: First of all, thanks for your many contributions to CR-related articles. Yes, coordinates are more important than maps, but I think maps are also helpful to include in infoboxes. I am happy to add infoboxes with maps to articles after coordinates have been added. ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:29, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- So, I am trying to add maps to some of these articles, but I am having trouble converting the coordinates to the following format:
| pushpin_map = Czech Republic
| pushpin_mapsize =
| pushpin_map_caption = Location in the Czech Republic
| pushpin_label_position =
| latitude =
| longitude =
| coordinates_display = inline, title
I am used to this format in infoboxes, such as Angkor I , Ashurbanipal, etc. So, to pick a random article, in the František Palacký Monument, Prague article, how should {{Coord|50|4|22.86|N|14|24|53.41|E|display=title}} be displayed in the "latitute" and "longitude" parameters above? ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:43, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- You can get the decimals, 50.073017 14.414836 by using the GeoLocator tool at [1] and entering the existing info. Hope it is as useful for you as it has been for me! Thanks, C679 18:59, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for the link. ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:01, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Please keep in mind that 6 or even 5 digits of precision in locations is often too much; see WP:OPCOORD. - Brianhe (talk) 05:19, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks, Brianhe! ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:07, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

@Cloudz679: Thanks for continuing to add coordinates. You can see that I've been adding maps (Statue of Milan Rastislav Štefánik, Prague, Statue of John the Baptist, Maltézské Square, etc) when I understand how the coordinates work in the infobox. ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:47, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors September 2016 News
Hello everyone, and welcome to the September 2016 GOCE newsletter. >>> Sign up for the September Drive, already in progress! <<< July Drive: The July drive was a roaring success. We set out to remove April, May, and June 2015 from our backlog (our 149 oldest articles), and by 23 July, we were done with those months. We added July 2015 (66 articles) and copy-edited 37 of those. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from June 2016. Well done! Overall, we recorded copy edits to 240 articles by 20 editors, reducing our total backlog to 13 months and 1,656 articles, the second-lowest month-end total ever. August Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 21 through 27 August; the theme was sports-related articles in honor of the 2016 Summer Olympics. Of the eight editors who signed up, five editors removed 11 articles from the backlog. A quiet blitz – everyone must be on vacation. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all editors who took part. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Jonesey95, Corinne and Tdlsk. |
