Improving Mindat.orgPhotos with wrong location info
6th Oct 2006 15:49 UTCJesse Fisher Expert
I have noticed a number of specimen photos, uploaded from a few dealer's sites, that have incorrect locations attributed to them. In the past, I have just appended a note to the entry giving what I think is the correct locality. It occured to me, however, that I should probably ask the powers that be how someone from the peanut gallery such as myself should deal (or not) with things like this.
Cheers,
Jesse

I recall seeing the actinolite in question listed under Stak Nala, which to my knowledge appeared incorrect. I didn't reassign the photo to a new locality, however.
