@Redrose64: @Deryck Chan: @Pharos: Hi, this request has been here for a week & I was hoping to get it started about 36 hours ago. I put a notice here on the Administrators noticeboard about 24 hours ago, but no one has responded. Help! Peaceray (talk) 17:22, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Please check the coordinates. They are not in the specified format, and the latitudes are out of range. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:29, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redrose64, I must have reversed them. Is this better? It seems to correspond to www.google.com/maps/@48.15,-122.83,11z & www.google.com/maps/@47.2,-121.9,11z Peaceray (talk) 03:24, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Is what better? You didn't alter the value for "corners". --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 17:57, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, sorry about that. I even previewed it but must have backed up two far making subsequent changes to add the Google Map links. Peaceray (talk) 18:11, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
OK, the latitudes are now valid, but you still have too many square brackets. I've amended them. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:40, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ah! I guess I am significantly more used to Wikilinking than I am used to json. Thank you, Redrose64, for your help! Peaceray (talk) 22:49, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Redrose64 and Deryck Chan: was this carried out? Meetup is occurring in 4 days, and I don't see this at the top of my watchlist.--RightCowLeftCoast (Moo) 03:59, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like it slipped between the cracks. This is the first time I've added a geonotice since it moved to a JSON page, so I'm hoping I did it correctly. Killiondude (talk) 04:10, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Killiondude: thanks for looking into this. I am only seeing the signpost message on my watchlist. Perhaps my corners are wrong?--RightCowLeftCoast (Moo) 04:23, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@RightCowLeftCoast: it looks correct. Perhaps it's a caching issue? Killiondude (talk) 04:28, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
RightCowLeftCoast, Please try again. Without assigning blame this is what I found: (1) The code suggestion on this page had "9 June 2018"; (2) The geonotice that was loaded had "23 May 2019". I've changed the end date to "10 June 2019". Deryck C. 10:17, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I did not assign blame. I only pinged for assistance, as is suggested in the suggestion in a section above.
Thanks for catching my typo. I am human, and thus fallible, and make mistakes sometimes.
That said, for some reason I am not seeing it at the top of my watchlist, I can only hope others do.--RightCowLeftCoast (Moo) 23:18, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Heh. Thanks for the catch, Deryck. My error was introduced while trying to mimic a version of the page that had multiple entries (to ensure proper formatting with more than one). Killiondude (talk) 02:13, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I see what is occurring, the end date is 10 May, not 10 June.--RightCowLeftCoast (Moo) 04:09, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Reason for requesting: To get the word out on-Wiki
  • Location: I'm hoping to reach Greater Los Angeles but new to the Flickr coordinates thing; if this seems like a narrow region, could you help me adjust? The events are distributed in different areas of Los Angeles, from Westwood to East LA, so I would say up to 50 miles in any direction from downtown. Thank you!
  • User requesting: StaceyEOB (talk) 18:35, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think I fulfilled this one, but I'm not seeing it in my watchlist so perhaps I did something wrong... (Not sure if there is normally some lag time.) FYI, User:StaceyEOB, you had the coordinates transposed. (You did long/lat instead of lat/long -- I swapped them.) The region seems reasonable to me.

Hi Deryck, that geonotice is showing up for me now when I view my watchlist. Approx. coordinates are 34.074, -118.2611 and showing the correct zip code for me. It seems like maybe it did go out? Thank you for your help! Geonotices are new to me... StaceyEOB (talk) 16:57, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Reason for request: We want to invite everyone in and around London, Ontario (where the Juno Awards are being held) to participate in an edit-a-thon focused on Juno Awards related content.
  • Location: London, Ontario (Canada) and area
  • User requesting: --14:22, 4 March 2019 (UTC)Erniee jo (talk)
    • @Erniee jo: Your coordinates seem to be wrong so I drew a bounding box from Detroit to Toronto. Also, the "begin" code should specify the start time of the notice, not the start time of the event (it would be too late to tell people about the event when the event begins!). Here is the code I loaded:
        "begin": "6 March 2019 13:00 UTC",
        "end": "13 March 2019 02:00 UTC",
        "corners": [[41, -84], [45, -78]],
        "text": "You are invited to join the [[Wikipedia:Meetup/JUNOAwards2019|JunoAwards2019 edit-a-thon]] taking place at Western Libraries in London, Ontario."

        "begin": "14 December 2018 17:00 UTC",

Please check that the text links to correct pages: "Everyone is cordially invited to attend the following Southern California Regional mini Unconferences: Mission Valley, San Diego on Feb 3rd; Chinatown, Los Angeles on Mar 3rd." I've edited one of the links because it seemed to be linking to a past meetup. Deryck C. 10:57, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Deryck Chan: Thanks, and thanks for catching the link typo.--RightCowLeftCoast (Moo) 07:42, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
