<div dir="ltr">OSM has traditionally been very firm that taking coordinates directly from Google Maps is not valid for their license, but I'm not sure how well their license maps to ours in this case. A coordinate is basically the only piece of information they need, so they'd be copying all the information, whereas for us it's a much smaller detail in an overall work, so it's more like checking a single entry in a reference book.<div>

Hi guys,<br>
<br>
In Armenian Wikipedia, we have now a tool which allows users to add
coordinates of a monument using Google-maps in a pop-up window. See
example below:<br>
<br>
<img alt="" src="cid:part1.09060703.03050603@riseup.net" height="454" width="727"><br>
<br>
This might be useful if a lot of coordinates are missing from your
lists (like in our case). The JavaScript can be found here: <a href="https://hy.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:WLMcoord.js" target="_blank">[[:hy:MediaWiki:WLMcoord.js]]</a>).
It was developed by [[u:HrantKhachatrian]].<br>
<br>
If you want to integrate the tool to your local Wikipedia and/or
have any questions, let us know :)<br>
<br>
Vacio<br>
