  On Wikidata, coordinates are usually applied to notable places or landmarks. 
There is no privacy problem there, and it's useful to have the coordinates in 
the summary so that other editors can quickly see the change made in the edit.
  
  On Commons, coordinates represent the camera location at the time of a 
photograph. The author and the time the photograph was taken are also included, 
which combined can be sufficient to de-anonymize the author.  Location 
information is often included inadvertently, and automatically copied to 
structured data by bots. This is useful when the coordinates represent a 
landmark, but it is a privacy problem when they represent someone's house.
  
  > should we simply remove all coordinates from summaries? always? any cases 
in which we wouldn't want it removed?
  
  Putting the coordinates in the edit summary when removing is most useful when 
there were multiple statements for that property. Perhaps the simplest way to 
implement this would be to say `Removed claim: coordinate location (P625)` when 
removing the last claim for a property. That would be similar to how removing 
multiple claims is treated in WBMI.
  
  Here's how it looks now, for reference:
