Hey, you may wish to jump in on this monster, as it touches on some of the issues you mentioned in the mountain project Wikipedia talk:Citing sources#References for geographical features

Thanks. Yes, I had followed that link and read the material. I didn't mention it because although I'll use it in making the changes, it didn't really discuss my question.

Now I'm looking at the question of the USGS coordinates are presumably NAD27 (haven't verified this yet but most topo quads are NAD27) but "coord" wants WGS84, no option. So I need a batch conversion facility. Nyergh.

Well, following up myself, I disovered that the BGN database info is all NAD83 (converted in 2005), so I don't need to convert it.Paleolith (talk) 05:14, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
