Hey,
the question is now how we can merge coordinates from all languages to Wikidata. I would propose to use the coordinate from the longest article to have a good chance for using the most accurate one. Thats the way I use in Wikipedia-World[1]. After an update we could also use this database for an import.

Other solution could be a map where we show all coordinates of one article on a map and the user can select, but this would make a lot of work for 1.5 Mio coordinates.

Worst case would be that everyone use a bot and we would have a great bot-war.

Greetings Tim alias Kolossos

Heya folks :)

* Made first version of the geocoordinates datatype available \o/
This means that you will be able to enter the coordinates of a city
for example as soon as someone created the necessary property for it.
(There are a few waiting on
http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal.) It's still a
bit wonky so please do let me know about any issues you find. We're
already aware of:
** https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49385 - cardinal
directions in geocoordinate datatype are not localized
** https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49386 - apostrophe
issue in geocoordinate UI
** https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49387 - property
parser function needs to support geocoordinate datatype
