Coords

Hi Burntnickel, thanks for your numerous updates to the List of volcanoes in the United States of America. Just one note about coords, when you use degree-minute-seconds notation, it is best not to use decimals on the arcseconds. The reason is that 1 arcsecond is only about 100 ft for all latitudes and for longitudes at the equator, and less for longitudes elsewhere. The locations of summits are not generally known to better horizontal resolution than that, so decimals are not needed. Also, in dd°mm′ss″ notation, it is standard to include leading zeroes for degrees and minutes, e.g. 33°02′07″. And if using dd.ddd° notation, three decimal places is sufficient.

I know that lots of mountain articles currently have coordinate problems (including having decimal arcseconds), but feel free to fix those ones too if you see them. I usually try to fix coord problems if I see them while making other edits. Thanks. --Seattle Skier (See talk tierS) 11:14, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think that it is preserving leading zeroes properly, if they're typed in. I've haven't used {{coord}} yet, only the deprecated {{coor dms}}, but both seem OK per these examples:

{{coord|48|06|05|N|121|06|09|W|type:mountain}} displays as 48°06′05″N 121°06′09″W / 48.10139°N 121.10250°W / 48.10139; -121.10250
{{coord|48|06|05|N|121|06|09|W|type:mountain}} displays as 48°06′05″N 121°06′09″W / 48.10139°N 121.10250°W / 48.10139; -121.10250

The leading zeroes appear to be there (at least in my browser). But I think if you enter decimal degrees, then it eats the leading zeroes and somtimes even converts incorrectly:

{{coord|48.020|N|121.020|W|type:mountain}} displays as 48°01′12″N 121°01′12″W / 48.020°N 121.020°W / 48.020; -121.020 Completely wrong, should convert as 48°01′N, 121° 01′W
{{coord|48.12|N|121.22|W|type:mountain}} displays as 48°07′N 121°13′W / 48.12°N 121.22°W / 48.12; -121.22 Correct conversion, but missing leading zero, should be 48°07′N, 121° 13′W

I'm not sure why the template doesn't just display dd.ddd° if that's the way a number is entered. I'm going to ask about this and the conversion errors on the template's talk page. --Seattle Skier (See talk tierS) 18:06, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hopi Buttes Volcanic Field

I was dealing with a speedy delete request and the redirect seemed like the better idea. Coliseum Maar and Hopi Buttes Volcanic Field both redirect to Hopi Buttes volcanic field you can use the history tab to find anything worth merging. Otherwise, I think everything is the way you wanted it. If you need more or I did not get you request right, let me know. Vegaswikian 22:53, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

coord title

I noticed you removed title from display=inline,title at Mount Bachelor. That isn't recommended as the title parameter provides:

The object's coordinates at the top-right of the article
Creates a geotag microformat which aids automatic extraction of the feature's coordinates.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Frogger II three deep screen 2 a jcg.png)

Thanks for uploading File:Frogger II three deep screen 2 a jcg.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:03, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ambiguity in (the 2nd half of) the entry for "Last eruption=" in the "Infobox Mountain" for Yellowstone Caldera

Resolved

– "case closed"

NEVER MIND! It is all fixed now!
"case closed"!! --Mike Schwartz (talk) 16:21, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

BELOW, is what I previously wrote:

I apologize for the irreverent tone, ["if any"], at Talk:Yellowstone_Caldera#excessive_overkill_leading_to_ambiguity. The change needed, to the article, is probably only a handful of characters, to be edited.

I also apologize for the fact that what I wrote there, is so long. But in order for me to shorten it, it would have taken even more time; and I have other things to do.

Your help on this ["if any"], would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. --Mike Schwartz (talk) 15:46, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article Feedback deployment

Hey Burntnickel; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :).
