Coordinates

[edit]

Hi, I see that you have amended the coordinates of several railway stations from three to six decimal places. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates#Precision, in which it is stated that 0.000001° is approximately equal to 11 cm of latitude, or to 5.57 cm of longitude at a latitude of 60°. Railway stations can be several tens of metres wide, and several hundred metres long. A precision better than 10 metres is therefore unnecessary; this roughly corresponds to 0.0001°, four places of decimals. Most railway station articles use an accuracy of three or four decimal places. --Redrose64 (talk) 17:44, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
