Hello NightDancer, just a few notes: Thanks for your contributions and I hope you enjoy editing here! Franamax (talk) 19:29, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I reverted your recent edit at Cartagena, Colombia as "centre" was not misspelt, just spelt different than the way you're used to seeing it. You can read about this at WP:ENGVAR. In general, unless there is a strong reason, we leave articles with the spelling system they used when first written and make sure the spelling is consistent within the article. Strong reason means, for instance, an article about a US city would use US spelling, no matter how it was first written.
 * Similar guidelines apply for US-common/"Imperial" vs. metric units of measure, see WP:UNIT. For US-related articles, we use the imperial measure first, otherwise usually the metric unit comes first. Thus, I switched around your helpful addition of a distance at La Guajira Desert, also to make it consistent with other units used in the article.
 * And for units of measure, we do like to provide both units in most articles (not necessarily in scientific ones though) and I see you tried to do that. You may be interested in a very handy template called convert, which lets you just put in the main number, units-from and units-to and handles the conversion, the formatting, abbreviations, everything! It makes everything look consistent and is so easy to use once you know it that I went through the article and put in conversions for all units.
