Fine, Maarten. We will unify all data with decimal notation.

We are using a family of templates with some different fields from different sources. Will it be helpfull to unify them in a more complex template? They are at http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Plantilles_de_formataci%C3%B3_de_taules named Plantilla:Filera XX

Hi,

I'm from the Catalan project, and recently we have been developing lists of monuments (partially by bot, partially by hand). Some of them include coordinates, which would allow us to create maps of monuments They would useful for photographers. But I wonder how to create them. I've got different approaches in my mind, for example:

1. Creating a list of monuments with coordinates for Google Maps, even though I don't know if it's possible. Maybe it could also work with Google Earth.
2. The other way is creating maps with OpenStreetMap and, with a program, add the different locations. You can see an example at http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usuari:Joancreus/Location_maps. Unfortunately, this would require thousands of maps to achieve a decent quality, and, depending on the number, many labels couldn't be read.

Help would be appreciated from people who worked with the project last year, in the Netherlands, or have other ideas.
Some pointers: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikilovesmonuments/2011-January/000011.html and http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/toolserver-l/2011-February/003889.html

I found your lists of monuments at http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categoria:Llistes_de_monuments and the template at http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantilla:Filera_BC_Sard
Looks good, just one thing now: Could you please use decimal notation for the latitude and longitude?

Maarten


Thanks a lot,

Joan.
