"amateur historian"[edit]

Someone appears to have edited in the views of "amateur historian" Jim Fay. While we should assume good faith that this someone was not amateur historian Jim Fay itself, that still leaves the question of whether an amateur historian is any different from "random man with an unsubstantiated opinion". Is there some reason why his opinion might be considered important enough to be included with such prominence?212.183.140.58 (talk) 22:49, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit looks like a good move to me. What even defines an "amateur historian" anyway? CTF83! 10:09, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Location coordinates[edit]

Is there a reason why the location coordinates do not show up in the upper right-hand corner of the article, like they do in most articles on cities? I checked the source code, and it looks like the info is in there "coordinates", but the coordinates are not showing up. Thanks.
