I'm not a member of the wiki.openstreetmap.org but there is a glaring error at:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/St._John's_Newfoundland

which is the following:
"St. John's is a City in Newfoundland and Labrador Canada at latitude -52.716351, longitude -47.57282."

In fact it looks as though the latitude and longitude might have been transposed and the sign for the latitude should be positive.
In any event, the latitude CANNOT BE -52°, not to mention the longitude would be WAY off at -47°



Regards,
  John
