:Name changed to page title.

Brian's script seems to rely on microformats only and is incapable of converting other coordinates, unlike my tool.

("Para") recently changed the target of the first link in this template, from Brian Suda's site, to one which Para apparently hosts himself. The latter provides KML files with the "name" property of "Geodata from Wikipedia"; whereas Brian's site uses the page title, for example "List of volcanoes in the United States of America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The loss of such useful data should be rectified, or the original link restored.

I'm also waiting for Para to answer my question about what exactly it is, that his service parses. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 11:16, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Name changed to page title. I have already answered[1][2] your parsing question that the service parses coordinates from Wikipedia articles. Brian's script seems to rely on microformats only and is incapable of converting other coordinates, unlike my tool. Feel free to notify me if you notice missing information with some article. --Para 20:10, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
