Coordinates

May I suggest that 4 decimal points is accurate enough and that dms is a better display than decimals? Mjroots (talk) 05:44, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Google Maps has taken to providing 16-digit coordinates in what is believed to be a copyright trap scheme, which unknowing users copy and paste into Wikipedia. That level of precision is in the 1/100th of a micrometer range. The WP:OPCOORD guideline calls for rounding or truncating coordinates, which for nearly all purposes works out to DD°MM'SS" or D.dddd°. Abductive (reasoning) 06:06, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

7 Australia has a nice map la_fHbRnhDg on YouTube (1m00s-1m15s), which someone could replicate in some open map, and extract the coordinates from the open mapping software -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 16:21, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

New York Helicopter =/= New York Helicopters

Please note that New York Helicopter (1980-1988) is not the same as the company being claimed as the operator of the helicopter, variously called New York Helicopters / New York Helicopter Charter / etc. -- 65.92.246.77 (talk) 11:30, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Commons

The Commons category is COMMONS:category:N216MH (aircraft), which WikiCleanerMan incorrectly inputed as {{commons|N216MH (aircraft)}} when it should have been {{commonscat|N216MH (aircraft)}} since the selected template was for galleries (COMMONS:N216MH (aircraft) is incorrect) and not categories. The original link was not a box, but instead a line, using {{commonscatinline|N216MH (aircraft)}} before WikiCleanerMan moved it around.

Media related to N216MH (aircraft) at Wikimedia Commons

Though, someone might want to create an actual category for the accident.
