[edit] {{helpme}}

What do I need to do to have a Wikipedia entry appear on Google Earth?

I'd truly appreciate any help with this matter.

I'm not sure what you mean. John Reaves (talk) 07:00, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Google Earth does parse Wikipedia entries for coordinate data. I don't know exactly how they go about parsing the data, or how often they send a crawler to update. If I had to guess, they probably check tranclusions of one or more of the various {{coor}}-style templates. – Luna Santin (talk) 07:08, 14 March 2007 (UTC)


That's my assumption, too. I placed the 'coordinates code' in the article for which I want an icon to appear in Google Earth. Given this is the correct way to go about it, I'm also assuming it will take some time to catalog--just wanted to ensure this is the correct method.

Appreciate the help! Jwmorris 07:18, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
