Two Unimportant Questions: Appetizing and Mini-Atlas
Hey User:Machine Elf. I have two unimportant questions.

On Appetizing store I saw you said it possibly contains original research and needs citations. Having tried to find a good one out here in St. Louis for years, I watch this page missing my childhood in Toronto. Let me know what needs citations and I'll put them in.

I also noticed that you are interseted in coordinates. I have a problem with the Wiki Mini-Atlas and wonder if you know hwo can help. The question is: On the List of New York State Historic Markers in Ulster County, New York page we've mapped the historic markers in Google, dumped that into a KML and uploaded that as a map on the page. It's all good. Except that the map (a) is in German, (b) is centered on Uzbekistan and (c) has a red dot in the Gulf of Guinea off the coast of West Africa. How do I get it to be in English and centered on Ulster County, NY.

Thanks. -- HighAtop94 (talk) 15:19, 17 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi there. Thanks for asking, but I'm afraid I'm not going to be much help on either of these two questions:
 * 1. I actually didn't add the issue templates for original research and citations - I just put them inside a multiple issues template, a very minor aesthetic edit, really. They were already there before I found the page - you may want to track down and ask whoever posted the original templates.
 * 2. I'm looking at the map as I type this. That's really weird. All I can tell you is that the red dot displayed on the map is Null Island, the point in the Atlantic whose coordinates happen to be (0,0). That probably means some important values, maybe related to what general area the map should be centered on, are missing. Further than that, I don't think I can help you. I'm not very familiar with much more than basic coordinates encoding.
 * To reiterate, the red dot is probably the result of unspecified coordinates/settings or some other error, and perhaps the German text and focus on Uzbekistan come from that too, although I have no idea why it would resort to those. I'm away from home right now using a mobile device - When I'm back, I'll look into it more and reply again if I can find any more information.
 * Also, try searching in WP:GEO if you haven't already. Hope this helps. — Machine Elf  ( talk ) 00:06, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
