Clapham Junction railway station

Scott, you've just changed the multimap link in the above page to {{Geolinks-cityscale|51.4646|-0.1705}}. Could you help a little: the terraserver aerial photo sucks in compariuson with the multimap version. Are you familiar enough with the template you;ve just pasted in, to make changes to it to give us back the multimap photo (and perhaps GoogleMaps too?). thanks --Tagishsimon (talk)

Thanks for the re-work you did on Clapham Junction. I guess there may be an argument - if I understand your comments correctly - for us implementing a scale 8 as well as scale 15 template for terraserver, applying the 8 only where we can. But to my shame I've not got my head around template that inherit parameters, so will probably stick to stealing images from project gutenberg. Good that we have these multiple-link templates such as Geolinks-cityscale, though. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

Igloolik, Nunavut & the Template:Geolinks-cityscale

I saw that you had added the template and was thinking to use it in some of the other Northern communities. I wondered if you could redo & rename the template to give it a scale of 1:30000 the same as for airports. This would give a good satellite image to most places in the north. I noticed that there is a Geolinks-Canada-townscale template but it is 1:1000 and the satellite image has not been updated for all of the northern communities. As an example Igloolik has a new image but Cambridge Bay is still the older blurry image. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 16:25, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK. All of this is concerned more with the satellite images than the maps. If you go back to Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, Cambridge Bay Airport, Igloolik, Nunavut and Igloolik Airport. If you click first on the coordinates in the infobox for Igloolik Airport the resulting map source page is set at a scale of 1:30000. Which actually shows the entire airport and town with a clear image, while the Cambridge Bay Airport is visible but fuzzy.

Now, if you click on the first link ("Maps and aerial photos") in Igloolik and Cambridge Bay the scale shown is 1:300000 on the Igloolik map sources page. The resulting satellite image seems to me to be to far out and I think would look better at 1:30000.

On the next line ("Mapping from Multimap or GlobalGuide or Google Maps") the Multimap looks silly but nothing can be done about that. Both the GlobalGuide and Google Maps look fine and give a good satellite image. The "Aerial image from TerraServer" also gives a really good idea as to the position of the community in its general area.

I didn't see this the other day but the "Satellite image from WikiMapia" is zoomed too far in. With Igloolik you get a street level picture but with Cambridge Bay you actually have to zoom out 2 or 3 times to get an image. This is because Google has redone some of the images in the north but not all.

So what I am asking is would it be possible to redo the template, calling it for example "Template:Geolinks-villagescale", with the first link and the last link at a different scale. I tried myself but couldn't figure out how the scale in the template was arrived at. This would work for all communities in Northern Canada and probably for other villages in other parts of the world. It's not something that needs doing in a big rush as viewers can zoom in and out as required but I just thought it would look better. Thanks.

Hi Scotthatton, sorry for causing inconvenience because of deletion of the article. But half-liner articles are not acceptable on Wikipedia. So, I had to delete the article according to speedy deletion criteria. Regards, Shyam ^(T/C) 15:17, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yangon

Your edit of geo coordinates has disappeared because the page was suffering from vandalism and I had to revert to yesterday's version. I didn't want to fiddle with your template but please feel free to put it back again! Andrew Dalby 14:52, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of talk page comments made by others

Re:Cape Cross

Hi Scott - you wrote: Hi Grutness. I noticed you flagged my new Cape Cross article as lacking references. I can't really see how I could add any! It is that far from Hentiesbaai and it really does have a seal colony. I saw it myself!

'twasn't me! All I did was change {{stub}} to the more accurate {{Namibia-geo-stub}}. The cleanup tag was added by User:Jeepday. As to finding references, googling turns up a few possibilities! Grutness...wha? 22:41, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Geolinks vs Coor templates

Please see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Geographical_coordinates#New template replaces .22coor.22 family and cease replacing "coor" family templates with "Geolinks" templates, until the matter is resolved. Thank you. Andy Mabbett 13:52, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinate titles

Hi! I noticed you had asked at Template talk:GeoTemplate#Geolinks:Cityscale for a title parameter to be added to coordinate templates so that it could be used on maps. There is now a request for comment on a proposal to add the functionality to {{coord}}. Please voice your opinion about it at Template talk:Coord#Request for Comment. Thanks. --Para 10:54, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Jusjih 03:42, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Geolinks and coord templates

I went through the many template talk pages adding pointers to the discussion so people who were interested could participate, I'm sorry that you did not notice the notice. You're ignoring the efforts reflected in the several discussion in that project's Talk page. You noticed editing of the template much more quickly than editing of its Talk page. The coordinates which you added are still being used; I've also been adding coordinates through several templates and it is the location info which everyone is trying to preserve in useful form. The value of those locations is being improved by being available through more tools, depending upon what your needs are. Indeed, your locations will soon show up as Wikipedia markers on Google Earth when the googlebot-compatible coord template is properly exposed. -- SEWilco (talk) 15:30, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see that back in April the discussion in the WikiProject coordinates was pointed out to you. -- SEWilco (talk) 15:33, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, Mrs Bridges

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Mrs Bridges. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - List of Upstairs, Downstairs characters. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at List of Upstairs, Downstairs characters - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Catfish Jim and the soapdish (talk) 16:34, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
