Suggestion

Hey, you may wish to jump in on this monster, as it touches on some of the issues you mentioned in the mountain project Wikipedia talk:Citing sources#References for geographical features

Thanks. Yes, I had followed that link and read the material. I didn't mention it because although I'll use it in making the changes, it didn't really discuss my question.

Now I'm looking at the question of the USGS coordinates are presumably NAD27 (haven't verified this yet but most topo quads are NAD27) but "coord" wants WGS84, no option. So I need a batch conversion facility. Nyergh.

Well, following up myself, I disovered that the BGN database info is all NAD83 (converted in 2005), so I don't need to convert it.Paleolith (talk) 05:14, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A third opinion was requested on the matter. I realize you haven't been on the page in a while, but you should be interested I think. → ROUX ₪ 19:07, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tom Toles

It was an error of me to not include a reference to the first sentence to the Tom Toles page after I changed his status to retired and past tense. I added the named referenced from the section of his page that was edited to show where he retired. Cheers. P37307 (talk) 20:54, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I read more carefully and deleted my comment. It was an ironic coincidence: I saw his Oct 31 cartoon (on gocomics there was nothing about it being his last), wondered how old he is, and looked him up. Hence my confusion ... ;-) Paleolith (talk) 23:23, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
