Talk:Homer

OtBP?
I see this article is a Guide. It needs a pagebanner. Anything else? I can't remember the last time we had an article about Alaska featured. Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:07, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
 * The existing File:Homer Alaska Spit Panorama.jpg image would make a great banner if someone wants to trim it and upload. -- Ryan &bull; (talk) &bull; 06:01, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

map errors, should be fixed in advance of being featured
So, I know this area very well, but I do not know how to change map coords. Hoping I can point out errors and someone else can fix them before this gets featured.
 * The Farmer's Market is displaying somewhat to the east of where it actually is. What displays on the south side of the road as a little loop of road west of E. Street is the entrance and exit to the market.
 * Young's Downtown Inn is on the southwest corner of the intersection of Pioneer and Heath, it is displayed half a block east of there.
 * Kharacter's Alaskan Bar is on the west corner of Pioneer and Shelford, directly across the street from King's Landing Hotel and Duncan House Diner.
 * Pho and Thai Restaurant is showing slightly west of its actual location, it is directly across the from the intersection of Pioneer and the Sterling Highway.
 * Boardwalk Fish and Chips is on the wrong side of the road, it is more or less across the street from the Salty Dawg Saloon. (you can actually see both buildings in the banner image at the top of the page, the Salty Dawg is the building with a small lighthouse on the left, and Boardwalk is the last building on the boardwalk on the right)
 * Harbor Grill is displaying as if it is actually in the harbor, it is of course on the shore, slightly west of Coal Town Coffee.
 * Several other listings are not mapped at all.
 * Any help with all this would be greatly appreciated, Beeblebrox (talk) 02:35, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

 * @Beeblebrox Hi Beeblebrox, if possible, would it be possible to get the coordinates? I can help once I've gotten the coords. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 02:45, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
 * https://wikivoyage.toolforge.org/w/geomap.php?lang=en is a good place to get coords if you're wondering where to get them. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 02:46, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I clicked on where the farmer's market is and got this:

lat=59.63780 | long=-151.51389

59.63780|-151.51389

59.63780 -151.51389

If that works for you I'll get the others. Beeblebrox (talk) 04:36, 19 January 2022 (UTC)


 * That works. I've implemented that on the farmers market. Happy to do the rest. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 04:38, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

The remote lodges are unmapped, but they are not actually in Homer anyway and you need to book a boat or a plane to get to any of them so they can probably not be mapped. Thanks so much SHB2000@undefined for doing this! Beeblebrox (talk) 19:18, 19 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Done. Let me know if you need any more coords added. Regarding the ones that are unmapped, they can be added and not affect the map focus, but it's commonly done such as the one I did in Mungo National Park. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 20:58, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
