[edit] Generic template

Now a few months into this template. I created this to be a generic Geolinks template for use worldwide. Please don't unneccessary add map links - I have tried to include the best of them here but tried to make it concise.

This morning I moved Google Maps to the top. It's been languishing too long at the bottom.

Please discuss here before adding/removing sources.

[edit] Terraserver removal

Terraserver is a commercial service that charges a monthly subscription of US$24.95 to access the highest resolution images. Given that the same imagery is available for free elsewhere I propose that this link be removed. I will wait a week for responses here on this discussion page before removing it. --Cheesy Mike 08:57, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

No negative response so I am removing Terraserver. --Cheesy Mike 10:50, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Parsing

Removing the wikitext parsing advice on the recommendation of the person who added it. --Scotthatton 15:40, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request

Could we make sure before people change this template that we are not duplicating other geolinks templates? US-cityscale is a fine template atuned for use in the US - this is for use in the rest of the world - thus US-specific map sources ain't gonna be extraly useful! --Scotthatton 09:35, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Geolinks alteration

Alteration of Geolinks is under discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Geographical_coordinates#Proposals. Changes or deletion are likely soon. (SEWilco 19:39, 23 October 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Discuss this template HERE

Please discuss changes to this template here and not in some distant theoretical discussion somewhere else. I have moved the links back.

(I have also just contributed to aforementioned theoretical discussion - see link above) --Scotthatton (talk) 14:17, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

The simplification and consolidation discussion was announced above in section #Geolinks alteration. Continue your discussion there where people will notice it. -- SEWilco (talk) 15:05, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
