longish quotes and coordinate precision

[edit]

User:MB, I don't disagree that the long-ish quotes that I had left in this article's draft would better be rewritten, but an alternative to deleting the material, better IMHO, is to just add tag {{over-quotation}}. I could probably figure out how to see any articles created by me that were tagged that way, in order to address them myself. Currently there is one.

About WP:COORDPREC, the coordinates with 6 decimals were just as copied in from National Register of Historic Places listings in Powell County, Montana. If you disagree with those, perhaps you should be running a bot to revise that and all the other NRHP list-article pages. Probably the hard-coded 6 decimal coordinates there were converted from DD-MM-SS coordinates. --

Thanks for responding to my request and helping with probable bot-deletion of redirects, by promoting this. Doncram (talk,contribs) 18:28, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Doncram, I think those quotes strayed into copyvio territory and I wasn't comfortable accepting the article with them in it. I know lots of our list articles have overly precise coords. That's not important enough for me to really worry about, I just fix them when I happen to be editing an article for another reason. Thanks for your help on the Beezer article, I know connecting dots is right up your alley. MB 18:38, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
