[edit] Geotagging
Hi Joe, one of the main reasons for wanting the {{coor at dms}} is to geotag the article, so that external projects like Google Earth and NASA World Wind have an unambiguous way of extracting coordinate info from the Wikipedia database. This is a goal of WikiProject Geographical coordinates. Without this form of the template, there will be no link to the Zero Milestone article from this point in Google Earth. The issue with other skins is known, but the momentum seems to be towards using the templates from everything I've read. Perhaps someone is looking into the skins issue. I guess I could add {{coor title dms}} to the end of the article instead, so that it doesn't look as bad in classic skin (just redundant), but was trying to avoid coding the same coordinates more than once. --GregU 04:39, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the explanation. However, WikiProject Geographical coordinates implies that any coor template will geotag the article. If that impression is incorrect, than the project description needs correction. The only reason for using Template:coor at dms is to add a redundant set of coordinates near the title. I see no reason for redundant coordinates. — Joe Kress 21:28, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Mile Zero (Canada)
Shouldn't the redirect page Mile zero be a disambiguation page to other national zero markers? e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Canada_Highway#The_.22mile_zero.22_concept --84.12.64.112 12:34, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
