Just going to copy some logs from #wikimedia-wikidata:
[02:58:09 PM] <Sven_Manguard> legoktm: okay. So go to the English Wikipedia
article on Harvard. Click the map icon and choose the google maps. It dumps you
right on Harvard. That's good.
[02:58:48 PM] <Sven_Manguard> take that same number and stick it in
Wikidata
[02:59:01 PM] <Sven_Manguard> 42.374444, -71.116944 is rendered on Wikidata
as 42°22'27.998"N, 72°52'59.002"W
[02:59:10 PM] <Sven_Manguard> legoktm: and winds up in a forest
...

[03:01:57 PM] <Sven_Manguard> that's 42°21'35.35"N, 72°54'28.4"W, which is
MIT
[03:02:32 PM] <Sven_Manguard> which is what I got on Wikidata when I put
42.35982, -71.09211 into Wikidata
[03:02:58 PM] <Sven_Manguard> 42° 21′ 35.35″ N, 71° 5′ 31.6″ W is what it
should be
[03:03:09 PM] <Sven_Manguard> it's screwing up west
...
[03:08:36 PM] <Sven_Manguard> 42.35982, -71.09211 should be 42°21′35.35″N,
71°5′31.6″W and I got 42°21'35.35"N, 72°54'28.4"W
....
[03:07:56 PM] <Sven_Manguard> legoktm: weirdly, only for west
[03:08:01 PM] <Sven_Manguard> and maybe east, I haven't tested east
[03:08:04 PM] <Sven_Manguard> but north was fine
Timestamps PDT.
