Inappropriate coordinates in Colorado articles
[edit]A user or users appear to have placed the same coordinates, 38.9972 N, 105.5478 W, into many articles on Colorado topics. These coordinates are close to the geographic center of the state, but probably not exactly. Some of the articles are on topics that could support coordinates, but many are wholly inappropriate. For example:
- List of people from Colorado
- Timeline of Colorado history
- List of lieutenant governors of Colorado
- Index of Colorado-related articles
- List of African American pioneers of Colorado
- List of amphibians of Colorado
- Colorado Attorney General
- List of Colorado counties by per capita income
These all must be removed. Abductive (reasoning) 07:02, 31 July 2026 (UTC)
- @Abductive: I disagree. I'm the user to which you refer, and I'm the coordinator for this WikiProject. I believe that all articles that relate to the State of Colorado should carry Colorado GPS coordinates. For articles relative to an entire state, I use the United States Geological Survey determined state centroid. I'll be happy to discuss this with you at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Geographical coordinates. Yours aye, Buaidh talk e-mail 01:48, 4 August 2026 (UTC)
- Do other states have coordinates on every article related to the state? Abductive (reasoning) 02:38, 4 August 2026 (UTC)
- Probably not, and that is a deficiency. Yours aye, Buaidh talk e-mail 16:27, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

Edit request at Talk:Chad Clifford
[edit]There is a COI edit request at Talk:Chad Clifford#Edit request: expanded, sourced article, proposing an expanded, sourced version of the article about a Colorado state representative. I am the article's subject, so I am not editing it myself. If an uninvolved editor familiar with Colorado politics has time to review it, I would appreciate it. Thank you.
