[edit] | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
COI disclosure: I am the creator of 3geonames and have a conflict of interest, so I am requesting this edit rather than making it directly.
I propose adding the following to the paragraph listing example reverse geocoding services, after the sentence about OpenStreetMap-based search engines:
"Open-source reverse geocoding services include 3geonames, which returns the nearest locality together with elevation, time zone and country data drawn from GeoNames and OpenStreetMap.[1]"
It is offered as one open-source example alongside the GeoNames and Google services already listed. I'll leave it to an uninvolved editor to judge whether it merits inclusion. Etrcrc (talk) 15:23, 25 May 2026 (UTC) Etrcrc (talk) 15:23, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

[edit]
Clarification requested
- The H:WIKILINK for 3geonames has not been provided, whereas the WikiLinks for GeoNames and OpenStreetMap are provided in the article. Inclusion of 3geonames for mentioning in the article would seem to be dependent on that WikiLink. To that end, please provide the WikiLink for 3geonames.

Thank you! Regards, Spintendo 19:54, 19 June 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you for the review. No Wikipedia article currently exists for 3geonames, and I don't believe the project yet has the independent secondary coverage that would support one. I'll withdraw this request rather than substitute a redlink. Etrcrc (talk) 20:02, 19 June 2026 (UTC)
