¨ article
Please stop changing the ¨ into a useless disambiguation page. The Umlaut (diacritic) article refers to a general sense of the symbol, not the symbol specifically in German. I posted a comment at the bottom of the article, but appearently you have seemed to ignore it. Plus, your disambiguation page contains a link to another disambiguation page at umlaut. The correct article for the symbol in German is Germanic umlaut. However, we already have an article about a general sense of the symbol, which is located at Umlaut (diacritic). It seems totally redundant to have a disambiguation page, as the umlaut (diacritic) article already contains links to the specific cases - diaeresis and Germanic umlaut.

FOAD
You tagged the soft redirect at FOAD for G6 speedy deletion, and it was removed. I would like to ask why. G6 is for housekeeping, and I'm wondering what housekeeping was needed on it. As far as I can tell from the deleted history, it was a valid soft redirect to a definition article over on Wiktionary. So I'm wondering what about it needed to be cleaned up that needed it's deletion. - TexasAndroid (talk) 16:46, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Re Wikimapia..
See WP:EL which says that Wikipedia shouldn't link to material whose (C) Status is unclear.Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:10, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment

 * == Wikimapia ==


 * Please refrain from using Wikimapia links, as they are under scrutiny from the editing community, and wikimapia is not affiliated with the Wikimedia corporation. Instead, we are using 12.34568°N, 98.76543°W in the form °N, °W .  I have posted this message because I noticed you have several dozen links posted to Wikimapia, that are clogging up linksearch. <font color="Green">Yamakiri  TC   <font color="#000000"> [ §]  06-17-2008 • 19:28:03


 * Would you be willing to give me more specifics of "they are under scrutiny from the editing community" . Are you asking me to not post to Wikimapia.org in the Wikipedia box ? or are you asking me not to post an "External link" from Wikimapia on a Wikipedia article ? Thanks for your notice rkmlai (talk) 22:12, 17 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry if this seems dense, but what is "C" status ? Are you asking me to unlink all the wikimapia links to wikipedia that I have placed ? I read the EL but don't understand what it is saying, except that wikimapia might not have history of stability or that it is an "open wiki" ? I checked out Sfan00 IMG and am still confused as Sfan00 IMG conversations are spanning different pages. Thanks for your efforts on clarifying this issue for me rkmlai (talk) 05:31, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Wikimapia
Greetings Yamakiri,

If you read User_talk:Sfan00_IMG you will see that Sfan00_IMG has now agreed to revert most of the Wikimapia links he has removed. Perhaps you should stop too.

There is some history to this that you may not be aware of that - Sfan00_IMG tried a similar exercise some months ago. He was stopped on that occasion as well.

One of the issues is that while Coords/GeoHack work well in articles about sizeable places (regions, cities, towns, etc) they do not work well for articles that talk about individual buildings, monuments, etc. For these there is a lot of advantage in linking to a large scale, annotated satellite view.

A second issue is this: If it's acceptable to link to Wikimapia (for example) from within GeoHack why does it become a copyright problem when linked directly?

Also, for future reference, please note that the way you have gone about the edits has not always been as constructive as you might think. Simply replacing text with coords has damaged the readability of quite a few of the articles you've touched. That's always a danger when attempting mass changes (speed being the enemy of quality). I will be reverting these over the next few days.

You seem to be a busy and enthusiastic contributor to Wikipedia. Keep that up. But take care who you choose as your mentors...

-Arb. (talk) 13:54, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

It's good work that you're doing, but sometimes it indeed is losing some of the information that was included in the link, namely the scale of the feature. Note that in addition to the coordinates, you can also give the type of the feature the coordinates are for. It also implies the scale, which is general information that can be used by any map service to give a view with an appropriate scale. In most cases the type alone is sufficient, but sometimes with exceptional features a scale can be added too. For more information see WikiProject Geographical coordinates. --Para (talk) 14:31, 19 June 2008 (UTC)


 * The reverts were to articles where a conversion of a link to a coord wasn't possible because the link didn't have the relevant information to enable a conversion., I plan on doing some reviewing of edits soon anyway..

Links that stayed removed, were those duplicated by an exisitng coord tag, in which case sourcing the coord data would be appreciated i.e what it should read is Coordinates:, via in respect of title coords, or in respect of inline links. which to me would be an acceptable compromise.. Next task tagging article that need geo-data sourcing :) Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:28, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Geo - Coords
Stop converting until you've read - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Geographical_coordinates#Parameters and 'tightened' up the existing conversions.. BTW You CAN use source:Wikimapia from the looks of the param documentation) Sfan00 IMG (talk) 18:38, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Sfan is right on that. When people have misconceptions that coordinates are inappropriate for buildings and monuments, like Arb did above, you should demonstrate how they work just fine. People have formatted most external map service links so that the link leads to a view that shows the object in its entirety but as close as possible, so they're giving information for one specific service to show the object. That's more information than just coordinates, but it's not for general use like other Wikipedia information. So to fix that, we need to include enough information in the article to allow people to see the article's object in other services if they're not happy with the information in Wikipedia; not by saying what parameters and zoom levels to use in each and all external services, but by describing the object in a consistent way and let other Wikipedia structures translate that to zoom parameters and whatnot. That's where the type and scale parameters come in, and all you need to do to improve your conversion is include one or both of those and test some of the first conversions so that they give a similar view. --Para (talk) 12:25, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
