@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]

Wonderful! I see it now. Sorry for all the trouble I have caused. Hopefully this draws more attendees!--RightCowLeftCoast (Moo) 18:49, 8 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!

  • 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.

@StaceyEOB and Calliopejen1:: Is the notice showing on your watchlist now? The replag for geonotices shouldn't be more than a few hours. Deryck C. 13:46, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

StaceyEOB, Would you please visit this page on MaxMind and tell me what "Approximate Coordinates" it says you're at? Sometimes geo-location is off target. Deryck C. 15:12, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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]

  @Peaceray: Apparently, when making this edit you didn't follow the directions at the top of this section, beginning "Add new requests to the top of this list". So, since it was after some old requests that had been actioned, that is probably why it was overlooked. At the end of the same paragraph, it describes what to do if you have not had a response here. If you want to set these up yourself, the page to edit is Wikipedia:Geonotice/list.json which I have edited for you. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 12:54, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
