Hi all, Yes, I agree with Benoit.
Have you experimented with: http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org.pt/tools/plist/?program=®ion=Lisboa&lang=en&profile=worker If you click on the right-side in the tool icon you will be presented with a "fix coordinate" page, which allows to do what I understood both Benoit and Jane were suggesting - please do not "submit" the coordinate if you're testing... This could be added to the upload form, in a way that: if there is no coordinate in the object (we know that because we are linked with the database) prompt the user to pinpoint it somewhere, starting with a location suggested by google - based on municipality, district, region, country. At that tool I pointed, you can copy&paste a google maps link, or manual coordinates... something like that I believe it would sufficient (read: intuitive) for the user. But hey, I'm a techie... -- Nuno Tavares Wikimedia Portugal http://www.wikimedia.pt Imagine um mundo onde é dada a qualquer pessoa a possibilidade de ter livre acesso ao somatório de todo o conhecimento humano.
