Coordinates of WH sites
Hi! I noticed that you refined the geo-coordinates of one site in this edit, perhaps taken from UNESCO's site. As far as I understand, UNESCO specifies coordinates of the "centre" of a site, which for very large sites does not always make sense. For this reason, in List_of_World_Heritage_Sites_in_the_Americas (and some other World Heritage Sites regional lists that I've been active in), I rounded coordinates of large area sites. This goes back to a comment by Arsenikk in this FLC and relates to WP:OPCOORD. bamse (talk) 18:44, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
 * thanks for the comments. The Archeological Sites entry is a bit complicated since it consists of I think seven different regions. So I thought that it would be more understandable if the most known Cafetal was noted directly to show the idea of that UNESCO entry. -- Ireneu (talk) 21:13, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Fine with me and good to know that there was some reasoning behind your choice. I just wanted to say that the rounding in those articles was not done by chance. Having more specific coordinates based on reasonings like yours is perfectly fine with me. Sometimes having a single coordinate is kind of misleading anyway, such as for the Struve Geodetic Arc. bamse (talk) 11:08, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
