The user below has a request that an edit be made to Reverse geocoding. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest.
The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 567 requests waiting for review.

Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies.

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)Reply
