African cinema task force
An African cinema task force has been proposed at WikiProject Films, which would include the cinema of Burundi. Interested editors are encouraged to sign up - if there is enough interest, then the task force will be created! Many thanks, Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 03:22, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

39 Burundi-related articles needing geographical coordinates
Based on a search of Wikipedia's articles related to Burundi, I've found some articles that I believe are about places in Burundi, and could usefully have geographical coordinates added.

The articles in question are listed in Category:Burundi articles missing geocoordinate data. At the time of writing, some examples included:
 * 1) Burundi Museum of Life
 * 2) Commune of Gihanga
 * 3) Commune of Musigati
 * 4) Martyazo
 * 5) Muramvya
 * 6) Muramvya Province
 * 7) Muyinga Province

...and there are many more, as well. At the time of posting this notice, there were 39 articles in this category needing geographical coordinates.

Why add coordinates?
By adding coordinates, a Wikipedia reader can easily view the location on a street map, nautical chart, topographic map, by satellite photo, realtime weather map, and in many other ways. Coordinate data makes an article eventually appear in various services such as Google Maps' Wikipedia overlay, Google Earth, and Wikipedia's own internal map service. Coordinate data also helps readers looking for geographically-based data, such as locations near a reference point, or related information.

How can I do it?
The articles are all marked with coord missing tags, which need to be replaced with coord tags that contain the location's latitude/longitude coordinates; or you might be able to add coordinates to an existing infobox. You can find out how to do this at the Geocoding how-to for WikiProject members. Please let me know if this is useful, or if you have any questions! -- The Anome (talk) 09:51, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
