Hi, If there's interest I can set up a mapping interface to crowdsource lat-longs. Along the lines of this: https://fuzzymapper.herokuapp.com/ But I would take a week to set up so tell. Though it would be best to get existing lat-long sets with the official station code and import them in, this can help cover the laggards.
Also, if collective work on OpenRefine is required then I can help set it up on cloud and keep protected edit access. That won't take more time.
