Talk:Mount Fuji, Japan
From Geohashing
Why is this graticule not called Kōfu anyway? -- relet 12:23, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
- Because Kōfu is not the "largest or most well known place" in the graticule. Seriously, the cultural and spiritual importance of Fuji-san are huge here. I usually stick to population centers in naming graticules, but for this one I went with one of the most famous mountains in the world, over a fairly minor city. If Tōkyō lay in the grat, I might have chosen differently. --starbird 17:26, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
- I support starbird's choice. See also Mt. St. Helens, Washington. A feature visible throughout the graticule wins, especially when it has the power to destroy the graticule. -Robyn 17:48, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
- Ack, ok. I don't know the place, that's why I was asking. :) -- relet 20:34, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
