Coordinates, precision of

Hi Dyl; regarding the number of places of decimals that you're using for coordinates - please see WP:OPCOORD. Six places decimals on degrees works out as an accuracy of about 10 cm; four places decimals on minutes works out at about 16 cm, which is somewhat more precise than we really need to locate a building or a coalfield. --Redrose64 (talk) 17:27, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Redrose yes now read article agree thank you. Dylthedog (talk) 18:10, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

HNoMS Æger (1936) coordinates

Hi Dylthedog. What is your source for the coordinates of HNoMS Æger (1936), claiming that Æger sank north of the UK? Manxruler (talk) 23:39, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for that i think finger trouble was to blame. In the text it states came ashore off the coast, I found no exact location.Dylthedog (talk) 09:40, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Manxruler I have just started putting coords into wiki articles, do you think when a coord is missing it is better put it in the general area if no exact position can be found or left out?Dylthedog (talk) 10:02, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I think that when we don't have a coordinate - verified by a source - then it's better to leave it out. The main point is, if we don't have a source for a bit of info, then we should not add it. That's the only way I can see that Wikipedia can improve. For example, I wouldn't have added coordinates to Æger's article, because we don't have a reliable source that gives the coordinates. Manxruler (talk) 10:24, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi yes I see your point and will remove coord. Thank you.Dylthedog (talk) 13:27, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. You're welcome. Manxruler (talk) 13:55, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

AZ high schools

Thanks for adding coordinates to some of the AZ high school articles I created. There are tons more to be done (most are in Coord missing|Arizona). It would be appreciated. Raymie (t • c) 02:44, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lightship 2000

Do you have correct co-ordinates for this? I just removed the ones you inserted because they're about 15 miles off the Scheldt and nothing in the article connects the ship to that region. Maybe a copy-paste error? 209.197.140.212 (talk) 22:39, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
