+{{ :resources:cerl_thesaurus:editing:coords1.png?300|Decimal Coordinates}}
+Geographic Coordinates should be given for place name records (cnl) only. Please note that the format of the coordinates varies according to the editing form you are using. In the form-based editor and the YAML editor coordinates are given in decimal form as a floating point number without a degree sign (°). Use positive numbers for north and east and negative numbers for soutch and west.
+In the CT internal format editor, the coordinates are given in degrees, minutes and seconds preceded by a letter indicating the hemisphere, see [[:resources:cerl_thesaurus:editing:format:123|123 Coded Data Field: Latitude and Longitude]] for details.
+{{ :resources:cerl_thesaurus:editing:coords2.png?300|Classic style coordinates}}
+Please note that the syntax of field 123 assumes a place is designated by a square-like shape through defining the outermost latitudes and longitudes. In the CERL Thesaurus, the coordinates of a place are that of a single point in or near the center of place - so both coordinates must be recorded twice here.

 The duplicate candidate records are shown in the right column. The first (white) one is the record you started with; sinc this is the record the other are finally merged into, you cannot deselect it from deduplication.
+//**Please note:** If there are many duplicate candidates it might be easier to check the records one by one. To do that, you start with “Hide all” (which turns all candidates grey) and then re‐activate the first candidate and see if it is a duplicate or not. If it’s not, uncheck it and go to the next. If it is, you could click the other button next to the check mark (the one with the three stripes on it) to switch the record’s colour to white before you proceed with the next record. So you’d know that everything that’s white is checked and “ok” and the amount of different colours is a little less confusing.//
 Un‐select the records that are not duplicates to the first one by clicking the green checkmark in the box that represents the record in the right column. The box will turn grey and the fields that belong to that record will no longer be visible in the left column. As long as the box in the right column has a colour (other than grey, that is) the record will be merged into the first one, once you hit save.

 When done, hit //Save//. The first record will receive all the fields of the active (coloured) records, which in turn will get a redirect to the first record's record id. //If you have merge some records and later discover that they are actually not duplicates, inform us accordingly at [[convert@gbv.de]], so that we can restore the original situation. Please note that we can only return to the state before merging - any editing that might have been done on the merged record will be lost.//
