[edit] Datum Merged

The article Datum has been successfully merged into this article. Also there is a proposed plan to merge this article into Geodesy. I agree to merge this article into the sub-section in Geodesy called Geodetic datums. --Zer_T 01:35, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Datums

As I am not a cartographer I will not edit the page. More than one datum requires the plural, which is data. Reg nim 20:40, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

see: [1], datums is the correct plural in this context.EricR 20:57, 19 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Geoid plus other references required =

There should be discussion of the GEOID in this article for better background. Also, there are several publically available documents, and spreadsheets enabling the conversions from XYZ to Lat Long Height. (polar coords, with deference to the ellipsoid)


references to Peter Dana's other work would be useful
