Illinois
Hi Dual Freq, and thanks for keeping an eye on the Salem, Illinois page. The IP appears has now reverted a similar edit of mine on Washburn, Illinois. Different county, so that suggests I'm being stalked. Because the IP address keeps changing, do you have any ideas on the best way to handle this? Ken Gallager (talk) 13:33, 1 March 2023 (UTC)


 * There's not a lot that can be done for changing IP's. Eventually they usually get bored though.-- Dual Freq (talk) 23:01, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

USS Duncan coordinates
Hi, Dual Freq. I'm trying to work through the backlog of articles with coordinates requests in the United States, and many of them have been in the backlog for as far back as 2008, some even from 2006. Do you know where to find out the location of the shipwreck? I'm happy to put in the work to track it down but I don't know where to look.

The reason I moved it out of the backlog is that it sat there for fourteen years. There are so many messes to clean up in Wikipedia that no one wants to take the time to really look through the backlog to see what's there, so things sit and rot. I'm thinking that if someone knows where the shipwreck is and sees the page they can either say so in the Talk page or add the coordinates themselves. But if it sits in the backlog, people can't tell if it's one of the ones that's been there forever or a new request. Seriously. Some requests have been in the backlog for eighteen years.

Do you have an idea for how to get coordinates for this ship without leaving it to rot in the backlog? Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 19:32, 4 June 2024 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure, there's probably not a master list on the web. Maybe a specialized book about the ship. A specialized book/website about shipwrecks. A FOIA to the USN perhaps also of ships logs that were involved in the sinking operation. Diving or other ship wreck websites though this is likely far too deep for diving. Websites for former ship's crew. Certainly the Navy knows where they sunk it, but it's just not on the web. I don't think there's anything wrong with leaving it there. I just wanted to make it clearer that it was for the ship wreck location. NavSource has what might be an estimate, N31,W120, I don't know where they got that or if it's correct. --Dual Freq (talk) 22:19, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * The coordinates were actually more detailed than that so I'm marking this "DONE!" \o/ (and the peasants cheered!) Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 00:37, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

USS Cockrill
This is another article that hasn't benefitted from having a coordinates tag for fifteen years. I've been going through the backlogs and I intend to check them regularly. But with over fifty backlogs for the United States, I'm not going to remember how many articles were there the last time I looked at a particular one and I'll either open one up unnecessarily, or worse yet, I'll skip it thinking it has only articles like this when it in fact has recent additions. Since fifteen years of bearing the coordinates tag hasn't motivated anyone to find it's location, can we just remove it? It hasn't worked, but not having it won't prevent a reader who knows it's location from saying where it is on the Talk page... Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 05:27, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't think you should be removing any of those tags unless the coordinates are found. The template does not say there is a time limit to finding the coordinates. Those shipwrecks without locations should all have coordinates. I didn't directly revert you because I thought you seriously didn't understand that it was a shipwreck with your edit summary: "Coordinates inapplicable as she is not berthed anywhere." Please don't remove any more tags on shipwrecks until someone posts their final resting place. --Dual Freq (talk) 11:18, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
