Hey your new coordinate calculator is awesome... especially for weekends when there's a ton of options, globalhashes, etc. and you just want to quickly find out what the situation is! Great design! -- OtherJack (talk) 13:38, 22 April 2014 (EDT)

Thanks, I indeed developed it mainly for the weekends. And I keep on developing based on user comments.--Eupeodes (talk) 13:44, 22 April 2014 (EDT)

WIKI problems with coordinates

Hello again - the IRC chat topic now says "peeron and the wiki work reliably again! | http://geohashing.org | http://geohashing.info http://bit.ly/smanthill http://bit.ly/ghposter | Sat(W) 0.3495836, 0.2750481 | Sat(E) 0.2863239, 0.8238417 | Sun 0.9223329, 0.2975105 | Mon(E) 0.7381283, 0.6532" Is this for real? Is it cool to remove the red caution box from the wiki now, or are you waiting to make sure? -- OtherJack (talk) 16:45, 7 March 2015 (EST)

I was away, but I see it is removed now. Which is of course great since everything worked again. Although I am not sure if everything is still working now.--Eupeodes (talk) 10:54, 9 March 2015 (EDT)

Hallo Eupeodes,
maybe the following information could be helpful:
The 2015-03-10 coordinates seem to be ok on my Android smartphone with Geohash Droid in graticule 49/8:
49° 40.758' N 8° 42.835' E.
Best greetings --Q-Owl (talk) 02:59, 11 March 2015 (EDT)

Hi Q-Owl, The main problem seems to be that one of the few DOW sources that is used widely is having problems, I guess Geohash Droid is using one of the other sources since those coordinates look right to me. If I would have time I would look into fixing the DOW source the wiki uses or tell the wiki to use a different source. But at the moment I don't have time to do such things--Eupeodes (talk) 03:10, 11 March 2015 (EDT)

Template:Expedition

I see you undid my changes. (Not a problem). I had just fixed about 70 expedition reports which still had the "New Report" category set. Many more had reached the coordinates (or not) but the categories were not set. The categories section is hard to read, especially for beginners. Perhaps you could suggest a better way to simplify it, retaining clarity. --Sourcerer (talk) 14:31, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

I understand why you tried to simplify it. I already started discussing the issue on the talk page of the template, so I want to ask you to join in there and not use my talk page for this discussion.--Eupeodes (talk) 14:36, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
