Instructions

This page is a listing of errors found in the placename database. If you find a place that has been mislabeled, or is duplicate, or whatever, click the "[Edit]" link to the right of "Placename Errors" below and add your error below the last one, prefixing it with an asterisk (*).

The description should be short, including:

• The placename in error
• A worldwind:// link to the placename. To do this:

1. Find the placename in World Wind and select Edit->Copy Coordinates.
2. Paste the link at the end of your description.
3. Put brackets ([]) around the link, and then type a space and a colon ( :) just before the end bracket.

• Preferably the general area the placename is in (i.e. "NW Italy" or "Rhode Island")
• What's wrong (spelling, doubled, just plain wrong, etc.)
• What it should be.

For example,

*Italee, Europe - misspelled, should be Italy [worldwind://goto/world=Earth&lat=43.36612&lon=11.96717&alt=879429&dir=1.1 :]

will produce

• Italee, Europe - misspelled, should be Italy :

This list is for now just a listing, nothing will be done about it now. Its purpose is so that when it becomes feasible to fix the placenames, this list will be avaliable. Thank you to everyone who helps with this list.
