2. Click “Edit this page” at the top of the page.

3. At the bottom of the article, paste this text in: “{{coord|LAT|LONG|display=title}}"

* “LAT” is the decimal latitude.
* “LONG” is the decimal longitude.
* "title" is the name of the article.
* Example: {{coord|42.599494|-72.738744|display=title}}


4. Check to make sure that the coordinates point to the desired location of the article by copying and pasting the code, and then deleting “|display=title”

* Example: {{coord|42.599494|-72.738744}}


5. Click “Show Preview”. You should see a globe picture, and the coordinates following.

6. Click on the coordinates link. That should take you to a “Map sources/GeoHack” page.

7. Click on “Hybrid” from Google Maps. That should open the Google Maps page, displaying the correct coordinates of your article.

8. If the coordinates point to the correct location, press the back button in your browser twice. This should bring you back to the preview page on Wikipedia.

9. Delete the “{{coord|42.599494|-72.738744}}”. This should leave the code with “{{coord|42.599494|-72.738744|display=title}}”

10. Click “Save page”.
