Question[edit]

What is the relationship between GeoNames.org and NGA's Geonames service? http://geonames.nga.mil/gns/html/ and shouldn't this article cover it? Thadk (talk) 19:47, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Stumbled upon this also, and tried to address it a bit in edit 974016694, also adding Template:Distinguish entries for both articles (also see edit 974016674).

Coordinates template[edit]

GeoNames have indicated (in private e-mail) that they will parse the new {{coord}} template. Andy Mabbett 11:18, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Basic information are missing[edit]

Information who and when started the system and who operated and edits it are quite missing. --ŠJů (talk) 13:20, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
