I just got this article written the other night. I never expected it to show up on the main page, blemishes and all! However thank you, editors, who did get a chance to make some improvements. It just goes to show the power of many. --Fishdecoy 17:52, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ice pier location in Google Earth...[edit]

Hello,

New to this so I might be doing it wrong buy I was just on Google Earth and noticed that the location for WQB ice pier is showing up inland instead of where the bay is next to the station. I don't know anything about changing that kind of stuff. The correct location is: 77°50'42.77"S and 166°39'1.41"E and its showing up on Google Maps as 77°49'59.98"S and 166°39'59.94"E.
