@Mccunicano: Happy New Year! Map now added, please let me know if you want it amended, as it can easily be done. Regards, Amitchell125 (talk) 16:00, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

  • @Amitchell125: Happy New Year to you! It looks great and supplements the list of peaks quite well, though I wonder if the lines for the roads might be confused for rivers any readers unfamiliar with the subject. Perhaps the route signs could be added? All of the Japanese national highway signs are up on Wikimedia if that helps. Cheers, ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 02:53, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Abroad in Japan Page

Why did you revert ALL of my edits on the Abroad in Japan Page? As far as I'm concerned, I cited all necessary information from videos in which the man, Chris Broad, talks about his life and channel. Since my cited evidence is from a first party source, it isn't original research and conforms to editing standards. It is factual Chris created a second channel and cycled 1,200 miles during the first "Journey Across Japan". While it is obvious Green Tea Sake wasn't invented by Chris, it has become a niche joke in the fan community, so it does deserve inclusion in the article. In other wikipedia articles about entertainment, humorous quotes or events are still referenced even if it isn't a major detail. Your deletion of all of my edits were simply unwarranted.Unofficialwikicorrector (talk) 04:41, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

  • If we, as Wikipedia members are writing an article on a YouTuber who records videos of himself, how would Chris' own YouTube videos, in which he discusses his own life, not count as suitable evidence? Do you expect me to cite evidence from Sora24 instead? Even if you don't agree with the green tea, you didn't have to remove the other edits I made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Unofficialwikicorrector (talk • contribs)
  • What you are saying simply doesn't make sense. We are writing an article about a living person. Youtube, in a sense, is like an autobiography. Why would Chris fib about cycling 1,200 miles for instance, when he literally documented it on camera. Not to mention, Chris created a second channel and has referenced it on the main channel. In order for someone to impersonate Chris and his activities to such an extent, they would have to use great amounts of CGI and viewbotting, wouldn't they? I think most people can distinguish between Chris' sarcasm and when he is being serious. Unofficialwikicorrector (talk) 17:58, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
  • @Unofficialwikicorrector: I didn't make the policies. I'm not saying his videos are fake, I'm saying they are an unreliable source because he literally told his viewers to vandalize his Wikipedia page. I'm trying to write a good Wikipedia article, not a poorly-sourced one that relies on shaky Youtube sources, if you have an issue with that or Wikipedia's verifiability policies, go take that up at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard, not on my talk page. FWIW, I don't think he's lying about the distance he cycled or having a second channel, I just don't think referencing these things with questionable Youtube sources is good enough. ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 23:19, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Coordinates

Regarding Kominato Station, its boarding area is mapped on OSM at 345 meters long. The complex of building that make up the station span 95 m, not including the outlying buildings, which span 132 meters. According to WP:COORDPREC, objects that are at this scale should have a maximum precision of D°M'S.s, but this is the maximum precision. The difference between 40°55′46.86 and, say, 40°55′46.85 is about 24 cm. Those coordinates do not even hit the building, rather to some gravel in between the station and the siding to the north. 40°55′47″N 140°57′16″E point to the grey connector (in Bing Maps). Another possibility is 40°55′47″N 140°57′18″E, which targets the main station building. Abductive (reasoning) 03:52, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

@Abductive: There really is a WP for everything, thanks for pointing that one out to me. Shouldn't we always try to be as precise as necessary though? I didn't add the coordinates myself, but my guess is whoever did went off of the Japanese GSI coordinates for the station. [1] ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 07:14, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
If you use Wikimapia like I do, you can switch between Bing, Google and OSM aerial views and maps. Doing so will reveal that the images and maps move around a bit, typically by around 0.1". So precision beyond D°M'S.s" is false precision. I also go by the WP:Principle of least astonishment which is that the vast majority of articles, no matter the size of the object, have coordinates that are given in either D°M'S" or D.dddd°. Thanks for understanding. Abductive (reasoning) 07:23, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
IMO, since 40°55′47″N 140°57′18″E is right on the main building, that's probably what should be used since there is no need to worry about any further precision, subatomic or not. ;) ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 07:31, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
