Geonotice request

Hi Andrew, any chance you could attend to my request at Wikipedia:Geonotice (along with a couple others that have been sitting there for a little while)? It's for an event on Wednesday. -Pete (talk) 07:14, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

  • Done. Andrew Gray (talk) 08:48, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
    • Much appreciated! I am not sure how much 1 degree covers, but I am in Oakland (a similar distance as Tiburon, but to the east rather than north) and the notice is not showing up here. Any possibility of expanding it a little? (In general, I'd be interested to learn how to make better/more specific requests about geography -- I don't really know how this works.) -Pete (talk) 16:51, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
      • Oakland is centred on [37.8, -122.3], so you should be well inside the [36.75 -121.5], [38.75, -123.5] area. What does geoiplookup.wikimedia.org report for you?
In general terms, the watchlist notices are served up to anyone whose IP resolves (by our lookup table) as being within a specific geographic region, defined as the rectangle between two corner points. We aren't able to target it any more specifically than that (no circles, state-level filtering, etc) but we can do per-country messaging. Andrew Gray (talk) 18:41, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
That page returns the following line:

Geo = {"city":"Oakland","country":"US","lat":"37.804401","lon":"-122.270798","IP":"98.248.124.201","netmask":"24"}

I'm at a different location in Oakland now than when I messaged you earlier; but I'm still not seeing the notice. -Pete (talk) 21:04, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
No idea in that case, sorry! It looks like it should be working - don't know where it's going wrong. Andrew Gray (talk) 21:28, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 83rd (County of Dublin) Regiment of Foot, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tonk (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
