Google Earth Error[edit]

{{geodata-check}}

When I download the .kml file from the geohack page, Google Earth Pro returns an error that it's not properly formatted. Specifically it says,

Parse error at line 23, column 30:
not well-formed (invalid token)

Not sure whom to tell aside from reporting it. --Srwalden (talk) 01:38, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Srwalden: This doesn't appear to be a problem with the coordinates in the article, so I'm deactivating the {{geodata-check}} template above. I don't have Google Earth installed on my computer and therefore can't try to replicate the difficulty; are you experiencing it with all geocoded articles or just this one? In any event, I think the best place to report it is Template talk:GeoTemplate or perhaps Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geographical coordinates, as those places are where editors knowledgable about the intricacies of the coding of Geohack entries tend to hang out. You might try posting this there (making it clear what article[s] you're referring to). Deor (talk) 17:32, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, @Deor:, it's just this one location. Any other geocoded articles are easily processed by GE and don't have any issues. If it had been a global issue, I would have flagged this a significant issue to the Template folks, that is if I had tried it on multiple computers and attempts to resolve the error by uninstalling and re-installing the latest version of GE didn't prove fruitful. Nevertheless, it seems to be just this one. I will try getting someone in from the Geographical Coordinates WP, but I am going to re-flag this until it is in fact resolved. Someone else who is knowledgeable in GE formats could spot it and easily resolve this. —- Srwalden (talk) 13:13, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
