(→ version 1.4 has demoted the pre-1995 date line to rank 100 as well, giving Null Island company, in their words. the island that is not there and the line that has moved, filed together at the rank for things you keep and never draw)
  • cur | prev 2010 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (1,100 bytes) (+240) . . (→ entered as a polygon of one square metre in Natural Earth at scale rank 100, which no map is drawn at. it is there to be found in the file. an island that turns up on your sheet is a fault report)

  • cur | prev 1998 an editor (talk | contribs) . . (700 bytes) (+90) m . . (→ the buoy has gone. inside a year. replaced, and the replacement noted here so that the next person does not think the first one lasted)

PIRATA has moored an ATLAS buoy at the origin, station 13010, three point eight metres tall over four and a half kilometres of water. the buoys are named after musical genres and this one is Soul)

(created page; resolved by twenty-two votes to one, San Domingo dissenting, France and Brazil abstaining, that longitude be reckoned from the transit instrument at Greenwich. the equator was not put to the vote and did not need to be)
