Talk:Isla Palenque
Dguillaime, thank you for your help! I am not very familiar with the wiki and am battling vandalsim here and on Wikipedia. If you have any advice for me, please let me know. I'd like to know how to stop vandalism and/or get a user blocked and/or have an arbitration. I read that the first step is to warn the user - do I do that on this talk page? I welcome your advice.

[edit]Dear WikiTravel Staff, and dear FLimoncelli:
The information I am posting here comes from Panama's biggest and most respected news media. Right now there is an ongoing journalist investigation. I belive that anyone who seeks information about a subject has the right to know everything there is about such event, person or topic. To let the public know the entire picture of what is going on at Isla Palenque is not in the interests of the developers. That is the cause of the complaint by FLimoncelli.
On my behalf I am commited as well as the rest of the international journalist community to be as impartial as possible and to post the information citing trusted sources.
Thank you and God Bless America.

Would like a second opinion on this. I think the correct location is where the hotel is marked as this fits the description at the start of the article. Wikidata coordinates are a little off but current Wikivoyage geo, Wikipedia and Google Map puts this as an island way off shore. --Traveler100 (talk) 12:56, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- From what I can tell there are three very different coordinate locations in question. The geo coordinates for the article are in the middle of the ocean, the Wikidata coords are around several islands close to shore, and the hotel coords are on a particular island east of the Wikidata coordinates.
- It seems pretty clear to me that the Google maps coordinates, which seem to be the same ones as this article's coordinates, are incorrect. I've checked maps and satellite, and there's pretty clearly no island near this point. But if I go to the hotel's coordinates on Google maps, the label "Isla Palenque" shows up. The Wikidata coordinates are basically in the middle of a swamp, so I'm pretty sure the approximate coordinates for Isla Palenque are: 8.1814, -82.255. Selfie City (talk) 15:27, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for checking, had come to the same conclusion but as contradicting a number of sources need confirmation. I have updated the page on this site and removed the error on Wikidata. --Traveler100 (talk) 16:29, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
