Colchester windmills
Can anyone confirm that "The Windmill" at Magdalen Street, Colchester is the same as Magdalen Green mill? Or is this a pub?Mjroots (talk) 06:00, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Correct, but declined. Because of the use of 6-digit OS coordinates (which describe a 100 meter square) rather than latitude and longitude in this article, the current coordinates are proper, if somewhat imprecise. According to the 1874 OS maps, your coordinates — 51.84173°N, 1.12418°W — are more precise, but that level of precision is not being used in the article.

 * You are correct that the coordinates you've cited are a good deal closer than the 6-digit OS grid coordinates in the list, but I'm declining your request for the same reason given in the section above. The list is currently not using that degree of accuracy, and the grid reference used appears to be the correct 6-digit one for the location. If you think that more-exact coordinates (perhaps in decimal degrees or degrees-minutes-seconds format) should be used in the list, in addition to or as a replacement for the OS ones currently used, you could bring that up in a new thread on this page to see what other editors think.
