Is anyone able to correct the coordinates associated with this article? I clicked on the coordinates to view on Google Maps, but I noticed it directs users a couple blocks too far south. The center is actually north of Woodstock on 43rd. @EncMstr: you may be interested. Thanks in advance! ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:47, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Applying the address 5905 Southeast 43rd Avenue to ACME for geolocation and using streetview to readily confirm, then centering on the building (as seen from the air) gives 45°28′47″N 122°37′08″W / 45.47979°N 122.61882°W / 45.47979; -122.61882 which is very close to the article's coordinate. According to recommendations, an object this size should not have that precise of a location. I checked that there was no recent article change. All seems well. Which mapping service are you using and where does it point you? —EncMstr (talk) 01:48, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
I accessed this URL, then clicked on "Maps" under Google Maps. Actually, the way I first notice the 'error' was from using the "nearby" feature on the Wikipedia app (on my phone). Just zooming into the area, I noticed Woodstock Community Center was tagged as being south of Woodstock. ---Another Believer (Talk) 02:04, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
Google Maps suffers greatly from its UI changes of the last year. I found that if I wait for more than a minute after it first loads, eventually the correct location is displayed after zooming 3 or 4 steps. I didn't click on "nearby" anything: just Google maps. I did it on a laptop running Linux Fedora and Firefox. —EncMstr (talk) 09:37, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

@Jonesey95: The coordinates for this article are still wrong. The community center is north of Woodstock. Might you be able to see if you can update the coordinates? ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:01, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Updated from Google Maps. I checked the new coordinates on ACME mapper and OpenStreetMap, and they all land a pin on the house now. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:44, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
@Jonesey95: Yes, I can confirm the accuracy of the pin. Thank you so much for updating the coordinates. I will mark this section as (finally!) resolved. ---Another Believer (Talk) 13:32, 13 October 2018 (UTC)
