@Jarrah Tree, I am analysing your statement. "similarly I have no idea what planet you are on - for a start try learning the basics." It is very condescending. You imagine yourself among the most intelligent of people, editing Wikipedia, but in my opinion anyone who needs to express such condescending views has problems. Did you fail nursery school? Do you have a cat or a dog to cuddle instead of a spouse? Neither would surprise me. I will not read further correspondence from you, save your time and go and cuddle with your de-clawed kitty instead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:3BDA:8CC0:D008:A57B:74AD:51CB (talk) 01:53, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
bungle bungle maps
editthanks for your effort to link google maps - but neither way works due to WP:MOS for ext links, please understand that the external link is meant ot be inside something like 'external links' or something similar - not as duplicate generic ext links JarrahTree 14:22, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
Hello, I have no idea who you are, nor what you are trying to say. I added a link by observing the code and inserting the link when I had found bungle bungle on Google Maps, and zoomed out until I could see the whole continent. It worked beautifully! After saving the page and pressing the link, the map appeared exactly in the view I had selected, and yet I was able to zoom in and out as desired.
If you are trying to say that there is something improper or illegal in linking this way, then please say so in non-codified English. I do have a masters degree but it is in a different field and unfortunately I did not study coding or IT at all. So please try to explain. Otherwise what can I understand if you remove my work? It was a wonderful way to help readers immediately see the location without having to open a new tab, type in the name, zoom out, etc.
Thank you!
Edit: I just had a look at the page again, and I see the link is still there, and still working. That makes me happy. However, your message is still confusing. Thanks.
- similarly I have no idea what planet you are on - for a start try learning the basics - like WP:SIGN. JarrahTree 01:54, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
- I've removed the external link again. The "standard" way to link to a map location is using {{coord}}, which is already included in the article. If you look on the top right of the article, page you'll see "Coordinates" and the lat/lon with a clickable link that will take you to that location on any of several mapping systems (not just Google). The relevant Wikipedia guidelines is WP:ELNO (item 15):
... avoid providing external links to ... Sites already linked through Wikipedia sourcing tools. ... Map sources can be linked by using geographical coordinates.
