Not just historic object, also more abstract region designations, such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojave_Desert or habitats of certain species.

Don't get me wrong, this is great (and I will certainly steal the idea for WikiMiniAtlas), but it is not a cover-all solution by all means.

If you tell me where your Attached-KML geoJSON-files are on Toolserver you can get ours and we will also transform it also for you in WGS84.

WIWOSM data is now displayed in the WikiMiniAtlas as well! Check the Austria example [1] (blue globe in the infobox under "Capital"). I cover the "Polygon" and "MultiLineString" cases. I guess I'll have to read more on http://www.geojson.org to see what other cases might get returned. Do you have any examples for polygons with holes yet? Or objects that consist of multiple detached areas?

Ok, not tested in Konqueror yet, but it works for me in Chrome, IE9, and FF11. Maybe you have to explicitly clear your cache? Thanks for the examples! TU Chemnitz and Russland are of type MultiPolygon, Rhein is of type GeometryCollection. I havent't covered those yet.

For the example with the Fairfax_County_Parkway you should add simply a coordinate somewhere in the middle of the street. This will work as fallback and as help for other tools like geohack. Also for an large area like an country, I believe a coordinate is ok. The question is more if you have a distributed object with no central location. But what could be an example for this? Also companies with many locations have one central adress.

I could add centering and zooming, let me see. There may be cases where the article coordinate (which can specify a zoom factor) is in conflict with the center and zoom from the geometry. What should I do in those cases?

Well, the article coordinates can be fixed even more immediately (the real immediately, not the overnight update, file a bug-report, or wait until databases are synced and the purge cache immediately).

I added a coordinate, and it shows up, but WMA doesn't zoom and center to the extent of the object like the kml-on-ol-json3.php map does. Is

It seem to give some problems with WIWOSM at some versions of IE. We had longer discussions at german Wikipedia[1] and at german OSM-mailing list[2]. The question is now, do we have a chance to build up a serverside rendering for this on toolserver? I think in two direction: *set up Geoserver or somethink like it *Install new version of mapnik so that it would be possible to give them parameter for language and article title Greetings Tim [1]http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Diskussion:WikiProjekt_Georeferenz… [2]http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-de/2012-March/094053.html _______________________________________________ Maps-l mailing list Maps-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/maps-l

I saw also an other IE8 phenomenon on an other windows-computer comes an Meldung: 'null' ist Null oder kein Objekt Zeile: 1403
