Please explain why you deleted the map link. Cite any applicable rule and your authority. R Pollack

After converting the latitude/longitude (which were incorrect, by the way) to use Template:coor d, the map link was redundant. Template:coor d uses Wikipedia:Map sources, which include Windows Live Local. Retaining the link would thus have been redundant and favouring one external provider over another. References:

Is this sufficient? EdC 21:25, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

No, not really. Did you look at the map? It provided a very good aerial photograph of the site with icons showing the location of the clumps and two nearby sites. It added to the value of the article. If you have anything better please include it. Otherwise, reinstate the map link. Thanks for correcting the coordinates, but they are a poor substitute for a map. R Pollack

How does that differ from the Windows Live Local link in Wikipedia:Map sources? EdC 23:02, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I think most people would be baffled by the Map Sources page. My map is simple, it works and it includes annotations. In this case only three, for the moment. I hope to add more information over time. On other maps I have several dozen annotations and marked paths. in general I think you should not delete other peoples work from an article unless it is wrong, 'illegal', or you can replace it with something significantly better. R Pollack

In what way is it "your" map? It appears to be a link to Windows Live Local, not to your website. EdC 02:20, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I checked the location of the Swarland Woods and the coordinates originally given were wrong. I think the woods may be just to the west of the Nelson Obelisk. Local authorities have recently restored the obelisk erected by Davidson at Swarland. They have erected a plaque which notes that Davidson planed the woods as described in the article, and that they were to the west of the obelisk. Mrslippery 10:20, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
