Source for "largest non-military cemetery"[edit]

From German Wikipedia:

nach dem Calverton National Cemetery auf Long Island, New York/USA – der flächenmäßig zweitgrößte Friedhof der Welt.

My translation:

after Calverton National Cemetery on Long Island, New York/USA – the second-largest cemetery in the world by land area.

That was my source for the claim recently marked as in need of a citation. Michael Hardy (talk) 18:00, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Geographic Coordinates[edit]

The coordinates point to an area closer to Hannover. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.218.226.166 (talk) 08:45, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed that. It said "52" where it should have said "53". Michael Hardy (talk) 13:33, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Military Cemetary[edit]

Obviously Ohlsdorf Cemetary also includes an area of military graves.

Maybe this should be mentioned in the article
Maybe this also includes some kind of memorial? If so, it should be mentioned in the same way as the Nazi victims memorials.
Maybe it should be checked whether Ohlsdorf is still "the biggest non-military cemetery in the world" if you subtract this area. (Maybe what the original author actually meant was: "the biggest cemetary which was not created especially as a military cemetary".)
