Importing coordinates from wikis

Please be more careful when importing coordinates from wikis. It is not possible to import everything, such as importing coordinates to items describing awards, sports seasons, sports leagues, treaties, holidays, or items such as The Holocaust (Q2763) or same-sex marriage in Spain (Q17423). Please clean up these edits and limit further imports to appropriate classes of items. Wikidata is not a dumping ground. Thanks. Jklamo (talk) 22:41, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
