:Not sure if should be moved, but suggesting anyway. 2020 population figures: Upernavik Kujalleq 201, Aappilattoq 149, Kangersuatsiaq 130.

*[[70,21]]: Sørvær, Norway for Bergsfjord, Norway
 +
:Debatable. While Sørvær is larger, it is not accessible from the rest of the graticule and only a very small part of the island on which it is located is inside the graticule. This makes it far more likely that a hash will be accessible from Bergsfjord than from Sørvær. [[User:𝒩|𝒩]] ([[User talk:𝒩|talk]]) 00:21, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

 +
*[[68,23]]: Enontekiö, Finland for Hetta, Finland

Not to be moved. ''Enontekiö'' is the name of the municipality which spans nine graticules.

*[[60,-167]]: Cape Mohican, Alaska for Dahloongamiut Lagoon, Alaska
 +
: "Dahloongamiut Lagoon" is a singularly inappropriate name for ''this'' graticule, considering that slightly over half of the lagoon is in [[59,-167]]. If it was a name for ''that'' (barely land) graticule it would've been a decent one though. --[[User:January First-of-May|January First-of-May]] ([[User talk:January First-of-May|talk]]) 17:10, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

64,15: Saxnäs, SE for Norråker, Sweden.
+
*[[60,-44]]: Narsaq Kujalleq, Greenland for Narsarmijit, Greenland
According to swedish wikipedia, Norråker has 4% more inhabitants (that's 5 of them, actually).
+
: Narsaq Kujalleq and Narsarmijit are alternate names of the same place. I propose "Aappilattoq, Greenland", since the corresponding settlement is both larger and not right at the border of the graticule. (Note that the ''other'' Aappilattoq, in [[72,-55]], is ''not'' the largest settlement in its graticule.) --[[User:January First-of-May|January First-of-May]] ([[User talk:January First-of-May|talk]]) 22:59, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

63,16: Hammarstrand, SE for Ragunda, Sweden.
+
*[[60,15]]: Borlänge, SE for Falun, Sweden
To be moved. Ragunda is the municipality (which spans several graticules), Hammarstrand the largest settlement.
+
Debatable. Borlänge is larger, but Falun is more important and better known.

*[[57,-170]]: Saint Paul, Alaska for St. Paul, Alaska
 +
*[[57,-154]]: Karluk, Alaska for Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska
 +
In areas as sparsely settled as this, it makes sense to name graticules after large parks or geographical features that span most of the graticule rather than hamlets. If geohashers a few graticules away were planning a visit, what would they call it?
 +
*[[57,-136]]: Pelican, Alaska for Lisianski Inlet, Alaska
 +
*[[57,-133]]: Hobart Bay, Alaska for Port Houghton, Alaska
 +
*[[57,-6]]: Portree, United Kingdom for Skye, United Kingdom
 +
Disagreed. The Isle of Skye is far more known internationally than the town of Portree so changing this seems unnecessary. The island itself covers a large portion of the graticule and as such it is a more appropriate name. --[[User:KerrMcF|KerrMcF]] ([[User talk:KerrMcF|talk]]) 02:17, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

*[[56,-169]]: Saint George, Alaska for St. George, Alaska

 +
*[[56,-5]]: Fort William, United Kingdom for Oban, United Kingdom
 +
*[[56,-4]]: Lomond, United Kingdom for Helensburgh, United Kingdom
 +
I'm local to the general area, and would not associate Helensburgh with the majority of this graticule. It contains the entirety of Loch Lomond and the majority of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, and as such, Lomond is a name much more associated with the graticule than the current name. Loch Lomond is also well known outside of the UK, so it's more relevant than Helensburgh both locally and globally. --[[User:KerrMcF|KerrMcF]] ([[User talk:KerrMcF|talk]]) 23:15, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 +
*[[56,-3]]: Kirkcaldy, United Kingdom for Perth, United Kingdom
 +
Disagreed. Unsure why this would be an appropriate renaming. Perth is a city whilst Kirkcaldy is a town and whilst Kirkcaldy has a larger population, it is not by much. Perth is more well-known on a wider scale. Arguably, Stirling is a more suitable name for this graticule despite Perth's larger population as both are cities but Stirling has a larger tourism aspect to it making it more known. Either way, both Perth and Stirling are more appropriate names than Kirkcaldy and realistically no renaming is required for this graticule. --[[User:KerrMcF|KerrMcF]] ([[User talk:KerrMcF|talk]]) 02:17, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
 +
 
 +
*[[56,11]]: Liseleje, Denmark for Anholt, Denmark
 +
Debatable. Liseleje is a village in the very corner of the graticule, Anholt a somewhat known island. Although Liseleje houses more inhabitants, Anholt is definitely better known and defines the location better.
 +
 
 +
*[[56,26]]: Līvāni, Latvia for Madona, Latvia
 +
Debatable. While Līvāni seems to be larger, Madona is better known and an administrational centre.
 +
 
 +
*[[55,-159]]: Ivanof Bay, Alaska for Perryville, Alaska
 +
*[[55,-8]]: Gaoth Dobhair, Ireland for Derrybeg, Ireland
 +
 
 +
*[[55,-7]]: Bun Cranncha, Ireland for Derry, United Kingdom
 +
: Bun Crannha is tiny, Derry is split. Realistically we should probably name both graticules after Derry, but I admit that most of ''this'' graticule's land area is in Ireland. --[[User:January First-of-May|January First-of-May]] ([[User talk:January First-of-May|talk]]) 09:54, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
 +
 
 +
*[[55,-2]]: Berwick-Upon-Tweed, United Kingdom for Jedburgh, United Kingdom
 +
Agreed. Berwick-Upon-Tweed is slightly split between this graticule and 55,-1 however it is larger in population than Jedburgh. I would also suggest that Berwick-Upon-Tweed is a more known place due to the tourism aspect and as such is probably the more appropriate name. --[[User:KerrMcF|KerrMcF]] ([[User talk:KerrMcF|talk]]) 02:17, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
 +
*[[55,-1]]: North Shields, United Kingdom for Blyth, United Kingdom
 +
 
 +
*[[55,22]]: Telšiai, Lithuania for Tauragė, Lithuania
 +
Debatable. Telšiai is slightly larger (by ca. 25%), but located at the very border of the graticule. Small parts of Telšiai are already in 56,22.

*[[55,27]]: Hlybokaye, Belarus for Krāslava, Latvia
 +
 
 +
*[[54,-9]]: Béal An Átha, Ireland for Ballina, Ireland
 +
*[[54,-8]]: Sligeach, Ireland for Sligo, Ireland
 +
 
 +
*[[54,-7]]: Londonderry County Borough, United Kingdom for Omagh, United Kingdom
 +
: Derry/Londonderry is indeed far larger but split. If I was in charge of naming those two graticules I'd go with Derry North and Derry South, but in that kind of area I'd rather defer to local geohashers. OTOH, there don't appear to ''be'' any local geohashers - both graticules are virgin. --[[User:January First-of-May|January First-of-May]] ([[User talk:January First-of-May|talk]]) 09:54, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

*[[54,21]]: Chernyakhovsk, Russia for Giżycko, Poland
 +
 
 +
*[[53,-130]]: Kitkatla, British Columbia for Oona River, British Columbia
 +
: Kitkatla (a.k.a. "Dolphin Island 1") is the larger town, less close to the edge of the graticule, and doesn't make it sound like the graticule is named after a minor natural feature. (This particular graticule maybe ''should'' be named after a natural feature, i.e. one of the larger islands; it's somewhat debatable whether a community of ~300 people is more important.) --[[User:January First-of-May|January First-of-May]] ([[User talk:January First-of-May|talk]]) 08:47, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Brussels has a french majority, but is officially bilingual. Since language issues are very important to both Flemic and Wallonians (there is no such thing as a Belgian*) and using the wrong one can get you killed, I think it's appropriate to use the double spelling here. [Ekorren]

 +
Debatable, although the other places named Kempten are entirely unknown.
 +
 
 +
*[[47,21]]: Oradea, Romania for Debrecen, Hungary
 +
While the cities have similar sizes, i'd suggest letting this one remain as-is, since a large part of the graticule is in Hungary. -- CrystyB
 +
 
 +
*[[46,-123]]: Aberdeen, USA for Astoria, Oregon
 +
- Objection
 +
:I'd say Astoria is better known
 +
*[[46,-119]]: Kennewick, USA for Tri Cities, Washington

 +
:I'd say Tri Cities is better known
 +

 +
*[[46,-116]]: Lewiston Orchards, USA for Lewiston, Idaho
 +
 
 +
*[[46,-112]]: Butte, USA for Helena, Montana
 +
Debatable. The population difference isn't major, and both cities are on the edge of the grat, with some of the city on the other side of the grat border. Helena may be more recognizable.
 +
 
 +
*[[46,-107]]: Hysham, USA for Custer, Montana
 +
To be moved. Hysham is larger and more central.
 +
 
 +
*[[46,-101]]: New Salem, USA for Flasher, North Dakota
 +
Debatable. New Salem is larger, but Flasher is more central. Also, it'd be a shame to get rid of a name like that. ;)
 +
 
 +
*[[46,-99]]: Wishek, USA for Tappen, North Dakota
 +
To be moved. Wishek is significantly larger and more central.
 +

 +
Note: "Kolozsvár" is the (historical) Hungarian name. -- CrystyB
 +
 
 +
*[[46,143]]: Novikovo, Russia for Ozerskoye, Russia
 +
:Ozerskoye seems to be about twice as big. No reason to move really.
 +
 
 +
*[[45,-117]]: Union, USA for Enterprise, Oregon
 +
Debatable. The population difference is negligible, Enterprise is more central, but Union County is also part of the grat.
 +
 
 +
*[[45,-109]]: Red Lodge, USA for Columbus, Montana
 +
Debatable. Red Lodge is slightly larger and less easily confused with other grats, but Columbus is somewhat more central.
 +
 
 +
*[[45,-106]]: Colstrip, USA for Lame Deer, Montana
 +
Debatable. Colstrip is slightly larger and a town rather than CDP, but Lame Deer is more central.
 +
 
 +
*[[45,-101]]: North Eagle Butte, USA for Dupree, South Dakota
 +
*[[45,-99]]: Gettysburg, USA for Hoven, South Dakota
 +
While Gettysburg is larger, it is also on the grat's edge. Perhaps rename it to Eureka, a city as central as Hoven but closer in size to Gettysburg?
 +
 
 +
*[[45,-97]]: Sisseton, USA for Webster, South Dakota
 +
Debatable. Sisseton is slightly larger, but Webster is more central.
 +
 
 +
*[[45,-95]]: Willmar, USA for Alexandria, Minnesota

 +
Debatable. Merrill is larger, but Rhinelander is somewhat more central.
 +
 
 +
*[[45,-77]]: Pembroke, Canada for Denbigh, Ontario
 +
wmcduff: Agreed. I've heard of Pembroke, but not Denbigh.
 +
*[[45,-76]]: Carleton Place, Canada for Renfrew, Ontario
 +
wmcduff: Debatable.  Renfrew is more central, and Carleton Place feels like a far-flung neighbourhood of Ottawa to me.
 +
*[[45,-74]]: Saint-Jérôme, Canada for Saint-Jérôme West, Québec
 +
wmcduff: Saint-Jérôme is split by the border.  I'd say neither and look at Lachute or Dorion, perhaps.
 +
*[[45,-70]]: Lac-Mégantic, Canada for Stratton, Maine
 +
 
 +
*[[45,-67]]: Calais, USA for Dumbarton, New Brunswick
 +
wmcduff: Disagree.  St. Stephen, New Brunswick is larger than Calais.
 +
*[[45,-61]]: Antigonish, Canada for Port Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia

 +
*[[45,20]]: Senta, Serbia for Zrenjanin, Serbia
 +

 +
*[[45,141]]: Wakkanai, Japan for Cape Sōya, Japan
 +
 
 +
*[[44,-119]]: Mount Vernon, USA for Kimberly, Oregon
 +
Probably to be moved, as Mount Vernon is the largest town in the area while Kimberly is unincorporated.
 +
 
 +
*[[44,-118]]: John Day, USA for Prairie City, Oregon
 +
Debatable. John Day is larger, but Prairie City is more central.
 +
 
 +
*[[44,-101]]: Philip, USA for Midland, South Dakota

 +
 
 +
*[[44,-93]]: Minneapolis, USA for Minneapolis SW, Minnesota
 +
 
 +
*[[44,-88]]: Green Bay, USA for Appleton, Wisconsin

 +
*[[44,-80]]: Owen Sound, Canada for Grey County, Ontario
 +

 +
wmcduff: Disagree.  Belleville is much more known (and has a major junior hockey team :).
 +
*[[44,-75]]: Brockville, Canada for Ogdensburg, New York
 +
wmcduff: Agreed.  Brockville is 20K to Ogdensburg's 10K.
 +
*[[44,-74]]: Massena, USA for Potsdam, New York
 +
Probably to be moved. While Potsdam may be more recognizable, Massena is larger, and Potsdam is partly cut off by the grat border.
 +
 
 +
*[[44,-72]]: Barre, USA for Montpelier, Vermont
 +
Debatable. While Barre has more residents, Montpelier is the state capital and thus more recognizable to those outside the region, as well as slightly more central.
 +
 
 +
*[[44,-71]]: Berlin, USA for Gorham, New Hampshire
 +
To be moved. Berlin is significantly larger and also slightly more central.
 +
 
 +
*[[44,-66]]: Lubec, USA for Metaghan, Nova Scotia

 +
Reasoning: local name. -- CrystyB
 +
 
 +
*[[44,143]]: Mombetsu, Japan for Monbetsu, Japan
 +
wmcduff: Debatable.  While the village website is at 'mombetsu', Wikipedia goes with Monbetsu, which is how I'd write the kana in English.
 +
 
 +
*[[44,145]]: Otrada, Russia for Mount Rausu, Japan
 +
If anything, it should be Yuzhno-Kuril'sk, Russia. Otrada is a small village, Mount Rausu isn't a settlement at all, Rausu is slightly smaller than Yuzhno-Kuril'sk.
 +
 
 +
*[[43,-119]]: Burns, USA for Hines, Oregon
 +
Probably to be moved. Burns is larger, and the two are roughly equally central.
 +
 
 +
*[[43,-107]]: Airport Road, USA for Lysite, Wyoming
 +
*[[43,-103]]: Hot Springs, USA for Custer, South Dakota
 +
Debatable. Hot Springs is larger and more central, but Custer is probably more recognizable, and Hot Springs may be confused with the Arkansas grat of the same name.
 +
 
 +
*[[43,-101]]: Martin, USA for Kadoka, South Dakota
 +
Debatable. While Martin is slightly larger, Kadoka has an airport. The two are equally central.
 +
 
 +
*[[43,-100]]: Rosebud, USA for Murdo, South Dakota
 +
Debatable. While Rosebud is larger, it's not an actual municipality.
 +
 
 +
*[[43,-97]]: Parkston, USA for Alexandria, South Dakota
 +
Debatable. While Parkston is larger, it's also on the edge of the grat.
 +
 
 +

Probably to be moved. Fairmont is larger and more central, and the grat's split equally between the states.
 +

*[[43,-93]]: Mason City, IA for Albert Lea, Minnesota
 +
Probably to be moved. Mason City is larger and only slightly less central than Albert Lea, and the grat's split equally between the states.
 +
 
 +
*[[43,-88]]: Waukesha, USA for Fond du Lac, Wisconsin
 +
Probably to be moved. Waukesha is significantly larger and somewhat more well-known nearby. However, Waukesha is also on the edge of the grat, unlike Fond du Lac.
 +
 
 +
*[[43,-82]]: Sandusky, USA for Sarnia North, Ontario
 +
*[[43,-81]]: Goderich, Canada for London North, Ontario
 +
*[[43,-80]]: Kitchener, Canada for Waterloo, Ontario

 +
*[[43,-78]]: Oshawa, Canada for Lockport, New York
 +
*[[43,-74]]: Gloversville, USA for Hamilton County, New York
 +
Probably to be moved, as it seems like grats are generally named after towns, not counties.
 +
 
 +
*[[43,-73]]: Saratoga Springs, USA for Glens Falls, New York
 +
Probably to be moved. While Glens Falls is more central, Saratoga Springs is larger and more recognizable.
 +
 
 +
*[[43,-72]]: Rutland, VT for Claremont, New Hampshire
 +
Probably to be moved. Rutland is larger, and the grat is more Vermont than New Hampshire. However, Claremont is more central.
 +
 
 +

 +
*[[43,-9]]: Camariñas, Spain for Muxía, Spain

 +
Probably to be moved. Canandaiga is both larger and more central.
 +
 
 +
*[[42,-74]]: Amsterdam, USA for Cooperstown, New York
 +
Debatable. While Amsterdam is significantly bigger, Cooperstown may be better-known outside the region.
 +
 
 +
*[[42,-9]]: Muros, Spain for Ribeira, Spain
 +
: I would much rather name it Fisterra because, although Ribeira is the larger town, Fisterra is perhaps more iconic as it is slightly more to the west and Cape Finisterre, which is a common final destination for pilgrims, is located there. --[[User: DRZ|DRZ]] ([[User talk:DRZ|talk]]) 22:00, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
 +
:: Ribeira is a larger town but it is also almost entirely outside the graticule. Muros appears to be the largest municipality, and Cee appears to be the largest locality. No comment on iconicity - none of those names are familiar to me except Cape Finisterre itself. --[[User:January First-of-May|January First-of-May]] ([[User talk:January First-of-May|talk]]) 23:12, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

 +
 
 +
*[[42,145]]: Cape Namida, Japan for Akkeshi, Japan
 +
: I understand the idea of naming a barely-land graticule for a nearby town, but at least check that it is actually in this town. This graticule's land area is entirely in Hamanaka. --[[User:January First-of-May|January First-of-May]] ([[User talk:January First-of-May|talk]]) 15:00, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
 +
 
 +

 +
 
 +
*[[41,-108]]: Superior, USA for Table Rock, Wyoming
 +

 +
 
 +
*[[41,-102]]: Sidney, USA for Chappell, Nebraska

Debatable. While Sidney is significantly larger, it also is near the grat border.
 +

 +
*[[41,9]]: Porto-Vecchio, France for Bonifacio, France
 +
 
 +
*[[41,11]]: Macchiatonda, Italy for Cerveteri, Italy

 +
Debatable. Burney is larger, but Chester is somewhat more central.
 +
 
 +
*[[40,-119]]: Burning Man, USA for Gerlach, Nevada

Probably to be moved. Burning Man is certainly more well-known outside the region than the small town of Gerlach.
 +
 
 +
*[[40,-114]]: West Wendover, USA for Wendover, Nevada
 +
To be moved. West Wendover is the Nevada city which falls within the grat.

 +
Debatable. While Trenton is larger, Princeton is more central.
 +
 
 +

 +
 
 +
*[[40,-83]]: Marion, USA for Marysville, Ohio
 +
Probably to be moved. Marion is larger, and the nearby county is named Marion.
 +

 +
Debatable. The population difference is small, and Orland is somewhat more central.

 +
Debatable. While Santaquin is bigger, it's also near the grat border.
 +
 
 +

Debatable. Edwards is bigger, but Vail is home to a well-known ski resort.

Debatable. While Colby is slightly larger, it's also closer to the grat border.
 +
 
 +

: Toledo is actually a tiny bit larger by the 2017 estimates, and about 2% larger by the 2022 estimates. OTOH, it's also split by the graticule border. In any case, as the medieval capital of Spain [EDIT: and also as the namesake provincial capital], it's probably far more famous. --[[User:January First-of-May|January First-of-May]] ([[User talk:January First-of-May|talk]]) 16:31, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

Oxnard is more populous than Santa Barbara, and which of the two is more recognizable is debatable.
 +
:Certainly Santa Barbara is more recognizable and historically significant. After all that most excellent TV show Psych is conspicuously set here. Although if we were going after recognizable we would have to add Ojai into the mix. I lean towards keeping it Santa Barbara, but the only active hasher is working out of the greater Oxnard area. --Scerruti

Actually Palm Springs could make an argument for this Graticule as well, you may have heard of it, the Rat Pack used to hang out there. But, this Graticule is dominated by California's largest State Park, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, an immense wilderness that will only not try to kill you for two weeks in the spring when the flowers are blooming.

Tecate is not a good name for this graticule, at least until geohashing catches on in Mexico. However El Cajon is not much better. I would suggest Alpine, CA as the replacement name, but I would like to hear opinions. --Scerruti

::I'd suggest keeping Tecate. There is a town on either side of the border with that name, and it's smack in the center. Short of making Tijuana a split city (and pissing off everyone in San Diego), I'd leave it as is. And there have been geohashes in Mexico (I think relet did one?) -- Jevanyn

*[[-41,173]]: Blenheim, NZ for Nelson, New Zealand
Would prefer to keep the name Andorra. The country is small enough in itself.

Not to be moved, but much of a muchness really, keep it as Nelson

:Debatable? Does Blenheim have more (permanent) residents? Is it a regional name?

:As a (relative) non-fan of island-plus-compass-direction names like that, I propose a full set of place names: Port-aux-Français, Kerguelen for [[-49,70]], Port Bizet, Kerguelen for [[-49,69]] (to be discussed, many options in this graticule), Port Curieuse, Kerguelen for [[-49,68]], Port Christmas, Kerguelen for [[-48,69]], La Montjoie, Kerguelen for [[-48,68]], and Îles de Boynes, Kerguelen for [[-50,68]]. --[[User:January First-of-May|January First-of-May]] ([[User talk:January First-of-May|talk]]) 23:13, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

::As the one who named those graticules, I oppose these suggestions. The majority of people on Earth don't even know that the Kerguelen islands exist. Those that do might know that they are in the Indian Ocean, the next fact would be that they are cold and barely inhabitated. Anything more is extremely special knowledge. Right now, everybody who reads "Kerguelen Islands Northwest" will know that the respective graticule is the northwestern one. I see absolutely no gain in renaming the graticule, because when I read "Port Curieuse" I will know less about where the graticule is than when I read "northwest". The Kerguelen islands are a largely uninhabited place and nobody goes there except for some scientists. If and when somebody ever goes geohashing there, they can ask the locals about which port or hill or strange-looking rock is most important to define the area. - [[User:Danatar|Danatar]] ([[User talk:Danatar|talk]]) 18:50, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

:: Similar to the Kerguelen islands, the names for these graticules should stay as they are until the locals decided on a better name. While the Falklands are much more inhabitated than the Kerguelen islands, the current scheme is much more useful for anybody who hasn't extensive knowledge about local geography.

General comment about Norway graticules: People in Norway named graticules mostly not after settlements, but after municipalities. Since those usually span several graticules, this also explains the many ''east/west/north/south'' graticules where no other half exists. It is debatable whether we want to keep that, or generally rename norwegian graticules according to the global conventions. --[[User:Ekorren|Ekorren]] 17:48, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Latest revision as of 23:16, 19 July 2024

The following is a list of renaming suggestions for graticules, based on the geonames.org database, based strictly on city size. Many of them are just

  • differences in transcription
  • split cities that have named two graticules
  • split cities that have not been considered because they are only partly in the graticule in question
  • or there are other excellent reasons not to name a graticule after the largest city it contains.

but some of the suggestions are actually reasonable. If you happen to have a lazy afternoon/evening, feel free to browse this list, compare population sizes in wikipedia or whatever better source you have available, and to confirm or disprove these suggestions.

If you can confirm any renaming suggestion as sensible, please try to

  • in the case of USA, Canada or Australia: identify the correct state for the graticule.
  • contact any local geohashers and ask them for their opinion (if there are any, wait for a response before proceeding).
  • change the name of the graticule on the correct subpage in the Category:All graticules.
  • move the old graticule page to the new name.

Mark the graticule below as

  • (confirmed) - yes, the suggested city is larger that the current namesake
  • (moved) - the change has been made
  • (not to be moved) - the graticule is not to be renamed, for other reasons (please specify)

or simply remove it from the list, if it is completely irrelevant (e.g. in the case of transcription differences).

The first name on the line is the PROPOSED new name. The second name is the CURRENT name.

70s

  • 73,-55: Naajat, Greenland for Naajaat, Greenland
I can't find any source with the transcription "Naajat". Shouldn't be moved. 𝒩 (talk) 00:21, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
  • 72,-55: Upernavik Kujalleq, Greenland for Kangersuatsiaq, Greenland
Not sure if should be moved, but suggesting anyway. 2020 population figures: Upernavik Kujalleq 201, Aappilattoq 149, Kangersuatsiaq 130. OTOH, Kangersuatsiaq is a lot more central. --January First-of-May (talk) 18:57, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
  • 71,24: Havøysund, Norway for Havøysund North, Norway
  • 70,-52: Qaarsut, Greenland for Uummannaq, Greenland
Qaarsut has far less people than Uummannaq. Shouldn't be moved. 𝒩 (talk) 00:21, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
  • 70,-22: Kap Hope, Greenland for Itterajivit, Greenland
The local name is Itterajivit. Shouldn't be moved. 𝒩 (talk) 00:21, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
  • 70,21: Sørvær, Norway for Bergsfjord, Norway
Debatable. While Sørvær is larger, it is not accessible from the rest of the graticule and only a very small part of the island on which it is located is inside the graticule. This makes it far more likely that a hash will be accessible from Bergsfjord than from Sørvær. 𝒩 (talk) 00:21, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

60s

  • 69,-53: Qeqertarsuaq, Greenland for Kangerluk, Greenland
Qeqertarsuaq has a lot more people and is a lot more central. Not sure why this name wasn't chosen originally. --January First-of-May (talk) 20:26, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
  • 69,15: Myre, Norway for Bleik, Norway
  • 69,19: Storsteinnes, Norway for Tromsø East, Norway
  • 69,21: Storslett, Norway for Nordreisa, Norway
  • 68,13: Evjen, Norway for Leknes, Norway
  • 68,22: Kuttainen, Sweden for Karesuando, Sweden
  • 68,23: Enontekiö, Finland for Hetta, Finland

Not to be moved. Enontekiö is the name of the municipality which spans nine graticules. Hetta is the proper name of the municipality's central village, though you may see Enontekiön kirkonkylä in some contexts. ― Kripakko (talk) 07:44, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

  • 67,13: Sørvågen, Norway for Moskenes, Norway
  • 66,-147: Beaver, Alaska for Beaver (West), Alaska
  • 66,-52: Sarfannguaq, Greenland for Sarfannguit, Greenland
  • 66,12: Sandnessjøen, Norway for Leirfjord, Norway
  • 66,13: Ørnes, Norway for Rana, Norway
  • 66,15: Rokland, Norway for Røkland, Norway
  • 65,12: Brønnøysund, Norway for Brønnøy, Norway
  • 64,-161: Koyuk, Alaska for Shaktoolik, Alaska
  • 64,-146: Pleasant Valley, Alaska for Salcha, Alaska
  • 64,-145: Big Delta, Alaska for Delta Junction, Alaska
  • 64,-20: Laugarvatn, Iceland for Flúðir, Iceland
  • 63,-162: Stebbins, Alaska for St. Michael, Alaska
  • 63,-145: Paxson, Alaska for Deltana, Alaska
  • 63,-21: Þorlákshöfn, Iceland for Selfoss West, Iceland
  • 63,-20: Selfoss, Iceland for Selfoss East, Iceland
  • 63,9: Kyrksæterøra, Norway for Orkanger, Norway
  • 63,16: Hammarstrand, Sweden for Ragunda, Sweden

To be moved. Ragunda is the municipality (which spans several graticules), Hammarstrand the largest settlement.

  • 62,-158: Flat, Alaska for Flat (West), Alaska
  • 62,-146: Tazlina, Alaska for Mendeltna, Alaska
  • 61,-160: Tuluksak, Alaska for Kalskag, Alaska
  • 61,-156: Stony River, Alaska for Stony River - Big Lake, Alaska
  • 61,-148: Lazy Mountain, Alaska for Sutton, Alaska
  • 61,-127: Mount Nirvana, Northwest Territories for Glacier Lake, Northwest Territories
Mount Nirvana is the highest point of the NWT. Glacier Lake is not even in this graticule (it's in 62,-127). --January First-of-May (talk) 16:38, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
  • 61,-7: Høvdaskoratangi, Faroe Islands for Faroes Southwest, Faroe Islands
A cape in this graticule. Perhaps this should just be Koltur, Faroe Islands. Yet another "not a fan of island-directional graticule names" entry. --January First-of-May (talk) 20:03, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
  • 61,-6: Argir, Faroe Islands for Tvoroyri, Faroe Islands
  • 61,4: Kalvåg, Norway for Bremanger, Norway
  • 61,8: Lom, Norway for Fossbergom, Norway
  • 61,12: Trysil, Norway for Innbygda, Norway
  • 61,29: Kerimäki, Finland for Punkaharju, Finland

May be moved. Kerimäki is larger.

Actually, Kuznechnoye (Кузнечное), Russia is even larger. ― Kripakko (talk) 11:11, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

  • 60,-167: Cape Mohican, Alaska for Dahloongamiut Lagoon, Alaska
"Dahloongamiut Lagoon" is a singularly inappropriate name for this graticule, considering that slightly over half of the lagoon is in 59,-167. If it was a name for that (barely land) graticule it would've been a decent one though. --January First-of-May (talk) 17:10, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
  • 60,-165: Toksook Bay, Alaska for Tununak, Alaska
  • 60,-164: Chefornak, Alaska for Nightmute, Alaska
  • 60,-162: Kasigluk, Alaska for Eek, Alaska
  • 60,-146: Tatitlek, Alaska for Orca Bay, Alaska
  • 60,-44: Narsaq Kujalleq, Greenland for Narsarmijit, Greenland
Narsaq Kujalleq and Narsarmijit are alternate names of the same place. I propose "Aappilattoq, Greenland", since the corresponding settlement is both larger and not right at the border of the graticule. (Note that the other Aappilattoq, in 72,-55, is not the largest settlement in its graticule.) --January First-of-May (talk) 22:59, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
  • 60,12: Kongsvinger, Norway for Kongsvinger East, Norway
  • 60,13: Hagfors, Sweden for Malung, Sweden

May be moved. Hagfors is larger (by about 1000 inh.)

  • 60,15: Borlänge, SE for Falun, Sweden

Debatable. Borlänge is larger, but Falun is more important and better known.

  • 60,20: Lemland, Finland for Kumlinge, Finland

Debatable. Lemland is larger.

50s

  • 59,-155: Igiugig, Alaska for Iliamna Lake (West), Alaska
  • 59,-154: Kokhanok, Alaska for Iliamna Lake (East), Alaska
  • 59,-150: Fox River, Alaska for McCarty Fjord, Alaska
  • 59,-136: Mosquito Lake, Alaska for Glacier Bay National Preserve (North), Alaska
  • 59,-135: Haines, Alaska for Skagway, Alaska
  • 59,7: Hovden, Norway for Åmot, Norway
  • 59,9: Porsgrunn, Norway for Skien, Norway
  • 59,11: Halden, Norway for Sarpsborg, Norway
  • 58,-158: Clarks Point, Alaska for Clark's Point, Alaska
  • 58,-152: Aleneva, Alaska for Perenosa Bay, Alaska
  • 58,-136: Elfin Cove, Alaska for Glacier Bay, Alaska
  • 58,-135: Hoonah, Alaska for Gustavus, Alaska
  • 58,7: Kristiansand, Norway for Kristiansand West, Norway
  • 58,8: Arendal, Norway for Kristiansand East, Norway
  • 57,-170: Saint Paul, Alaska for St. Paul, Alaska
  • 57,-154: Karluk, Alaska for Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska

In areas as sparsely settled as this, it makes sense to name graticules after large parks or geographical features that span most of the graticule rather than hamlets. If geohashers a few graticules away were planning a visit, what would they call it?

  • 57,-136: Pelican, Alaska for Lisianski Inlet, Alaska
  • 57,-133: Hobart Bay, Alaska for Port Houghton, Alaska
  • 57,-6: Portree, United Kingdom for Skye, United Kingdom

Disagreed. The Isle of Skye is far more known internationally than the town of Portree so changing this seems unnecessary. The island itself covers a large portion of the graticule and as such it is a more appropriate name. --KerrMcF (talk) 02:17, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

  • 56,-169: Saint George, Alaska for St. George, Alaska
  • 56,-158: Chignik Lake, Alaska for Chignik, Alaska
  • 56,-133: Kake, Alaska for Keku Strait, Alaska
  • 56,-132: Petersburg, Alaska for Wrangell, Alaska
  • 56,-5: Fort William, United Kingdom for Oban, United Kingdom
  • 56,-4: Lomond, United Kingdom for Helensburgh, United Kingdom

I'm local to the general area, and would not associate Helensburgh with the majority of this graticule. It contains the entirety of Loch Lomond and the majority of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, and as such, Lomond is a name much more associated with the graticule than the current name. Loch Lomond is also well known outside of the UK, so it's more relevant than Helensburgh both locally and globally. --KerrMcF (talk) 23:15, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

  • 56,-3: Kirkcaldy, United Kingdom for Perth, United Kingdom

Disagreed. Unsure why this would be an appropriate renaming. Perth is a city whilst Kirkcaldy is a town and whilst Kirkcaldy has a larger population, it is not by much. Perth is more well-known on a wider scale. Arguably, Stirling is a more suitable name for this graticule despite Perth's larger population as both are cities but Stirling has a larger tourism aspect to it making it more known. Either way, both Perth and Stirling are more appropriate names than Kirkcaldy and realistically no renaming is required for this graticule. --KerrMcF (talk) 02:17, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

  • 56,11: Liseleje, Denmark for Anholt, Denmark

Debatable. Liseleje is a village in the very corner of the graticule, Anholt a somewhat known island. Although Liseleje houses more inhabitants, Anholt is definitely better known and defines the location better.

  • 56,26: Līvāni, Latvia for Madona, Latvia

Debatable. While Līvāni seems to be larger, Madona is better known and an administrational centre.

  • 55,-159: Ivanof Bay, Alaska for Perryville, Alaska
  • 55,-8: Gaoth Dobhair, Ireland for Derrybeg, Ireland
  • 55,-7: Bun Cranncha, Ireland for Derry, United Kingdom
Bun Crannha is tiny, Derry is split. Realistically we should probably name both graticules after Derry, but I admit that most of this graticule's land area is in Ireland. --January First-of-May (talk) 09:54, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
  • 55,-2: Berwick-Upon-Tweed, United Kingdom for Jedburgh, United Kingdom

Agreed. Berwick-Upon-Tweed is slightly split between this graticule and 55,-1 however it is larger in population than Jedburgh. I would also suggest that Berwick-Upon-Tweed is a more known place due to the tourism aspect and as such is probably the more appropriate name. --KerrMcF (talk) 02:17, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

  • 55,-1: North Shields, United Kingdom for Blyth, United Kingdom
  • 55,22: Telšiai, Lithuania for Tauragė, Lithuania

Debatable. Telšiai is slightly larger (by ca. 25%), but located at the very border of the graticule. Small parts of Telšiai are already in 56,22.

  • 55,27: Hlybokaye, Belarus for Krāslava, Latvia
  • 54,-9: Béal An Átha, Ireland for Ballina, Ireland
  • 54,-8: Sligeach, Ireland for Sligo, Ireland
  • 54,-7: Londonderry County Borough, United Kingdom for Omagh, United Kingdom
Derry/Londonderry is indeed far larger but split. If I was in charge of naming those two graticules I'd go with Derry North and Derry South, but in that kind of area I'd rather defer to local geohashers. OTOH, there don't appear to be any local geohashers - both graticules are virgin. --January First-of-May (talk) 09:54, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
  • 54,-1: Newcastle upon Tyne, UK for Middlesbrough, United Kingdom
  • 54,21: Chernyakhovsk, Russia for Giżycko, Poland
  • 53,-130: Kitkatla, British Columbia for Oona River, British Columbia
Kitkatla (a.k.a. "Dolphin Island 1") is the larger town, less close to the edge of the graticule, and doesn't make it sound like the graticule is named after a minor natural feature. (This particular graticule maybe should be named after a natural feature, i.e. one of the larger islands; it's somewhat debatable whether a community of ~300 people is more important.) --January First-of-May (talk) 08:47, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

  • 51,-4: Llanelli, UK for Barnstaple, United Kingdom

May be moved - Oxford is internationally well known in a way that Swindon is not.
  • 50,-5: Falmouth, UK for Camborne, United Kingdom
  • 50,-2: Poole, UK for Weymouth, United Kingdom
  • 50,4: Brussels, BE for Bruxelles, Belgium
Proposing a third variant: "Bruxelles/Brussel, Belgium".

Brussels has a french majority, but is officially bilingual. Since language issues are very important to both Flemic and Wallonians (there is no such thing as a Belgian*) and using the wrong one can get you killed, I think it's appropriate to use the double spelling here. [Ekorren] (* Actually there are twelve Belgians: The king and the soccer national team.)

  • 49,-106: Gravelbourg, Canada for Lafleche, Saskatchewan
  • 49,-101: Carnduff, Canada for Redvers, Saskatchewan

wmcduff: Leaning towards yes. Virden is twice the size, though Souris is more central.

  • 49,-98: Portage la Prairie, Canada for Morden, Manitoba

wmcduff: Agreed. PlP is older and larger, and neither is terribly central.

I've never heard of Senneterre. Val-d'Or is well-known.

wmcduff: Agreed. When in doubt, the team with a major junior hockey team should win. :)

  • 48,-71: Alma, Canada for Saguenay, Québec

wmcduff: Disagree. I could see an arguement for Chicoutimi, but not Alma.

  • 48,-69: Tadoussac, Canada for Forestville, Québec
  • 48,-54: Gambo, Canada for Gander, Newfoundland and Labrador

wmcduff: Disagree. Gander is much better known.

  • 48,-53: Bonavista, Canada for Clarenville, Newfoundland and Labrador

wmcduff: Agreed. Most of the grat is the Bonavista Peninsula.

  • 47,-123: Shelton, USA for Olympic National Park, Washington
Look at the graticule. The towns are completely dwarfed by the geography.

Snoqualmie is not only a town, but the pass, the river and the region.

  • 47,9: Konstanz, Germany for Sankt Gallen, Switzerland

Debatable, Konstanz is actually larger.

  • 47,10: Kempten (Allgäu), Germany for Kempten, Germany

Debatable, although the other places named Kempten are entirely unknown.

  • 47,21: Oradea, Romania for Debrecen, Hungary

While the cities have similar sizes, i'd suggest letting this one remain as-is, since a large part of the graticule is in Hungary. -- CrystyB

  • 46,-123: Aberdeen, USA for Astoria, Oregon

- Objection

I'd say Astoria is better known
  • 46,-119: Kennewick, USA for Tri Cities, Washington

- Objection

I'd say Tri Cities is better known
  • 46,-117: Lewiston, USA for Pullman, Washington
  • 46,-116: Lewiston Orchards, USA for Lewiston, Idaho
  • 46,-112: Butte, USA for Helena, Montana

Debatable. The population difference isn't major, and both cities are on the edge of the grat, with some of the city on the other side of the grat border. Helena may be more recognizable.

  • 46,-107: Hysham, USA for Custer, Montana

To be moved. Hysham is larger and more central.

  • 46,-101: New Salem, USA for Flasher, North Dakota

Debatable. New Salem is larger, but Flasher is more central. Also, it'd be a shame to get rid of a name like that. ;)

  • 46,-99: Wishek, USA for Tappen, North Dakota

To be moved. Wishek is significantly larger and more central.

Note: "Kolozsvár" is the (historical) Hungarian name. -- CrystyB

  • 46,143: Novikovo, Russia for Ozerskoye, Russia
Ozerskoye seems to be about twice as big. No reason to move really.
  • 45,-117: Union, USA for Enterprise, Oregon

Debatable. The population difference is negligible, Enterprise is more central, but Union County is also part of the grat.

  • 45,-109: Red Lodge, USA for Columbus, Montana

Debatable. Red Lodge is slightly larger and less easily confused with other grats, but Columbus is somewhat more central.

  • 45,-106: Colstrip, USA for Lame Deer, Montana

Debatable. Colstrip is slightly larger and a town rather than CDP, but Lame Deer is more central.

  • 45,-101: North Eagle Butte, USA for Dupree, South Dakota
  • 45,-99: Gettysburg, USA for Hoven, South Dakota

While Gettysburg is larger, it is also on the grat's edge. Perhaps rename it to Eureka, a city as central as Hoven but closer in size to Gettysburg?

  • 45,-97: Sisseton, USA for Webster, South Dakota

Debatable. Sisseton is slightly larger, but Webster is more central.

  • 45,-95: Willmar, USA for Alexandria, Minnesota

Debatable. Willmar is larger, but Alexandria is slightly more central, while Willmar is on the grat's edge.

  • 45,-77: Pembroke, Canada for Denbigh, Ontario

wmcduff: Agreed. I've heard of Pembroke, but not Denbigh.

  • 45,-76: Carleton Place, Canada for Renfrew, Ontario

wmcduff: Debatable. Renfrew is more central, and Carleton Place feels like a far-flung neighbourhood of Ottawa to me.

  • 45,-74: Saint-Jérôme, Canada for Saint-Jérôme West, Québec

wmcduff: Saint-Jérôme is split by the border. I'd say neither and look at Lachute or Dorion, perhaps.

  • 45,-70: Lac-Mégantic, Canada for Stratton, Maine
  • 45,-67: Calais, USA for Dumbarton, New Brunswick

wmcduff: Disagree. St. Stephen, New Brunswick is larger than Calais.

  • 45,-61: Antigonish, Canada for Port Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia

wmcduff: Debatable. Antigonish is split by the border, most of it is in the New Glasgow grat.

  • 45,17: Požega, Croatia for Virovitica, Croatia
  • 45,20: Senta, Serbia for Zrenjanin, Serbia
  • 45,21: Timişoara / Temesvár, Romania for Timişoara, Romania

Note: "Temesvár" is the (historical) Hungarian name. -- CrystyB

  • 45,141: Wakkanai, Japan for Cape Sōya, Japan
  • 44,-119: Mount Vernon, USA for Kimberly, Oregon

Probably to be moved, as Mount Vernon is the largest town in the area while Kimberly is unincorporated.

  • 44,-118: John Day, USA for Prairie City, Oregon

Debatable. John Day is larger, but Prairie City is more central.

  • 44,-101: Philip, USA for Midland, South Dakota

Probably to be moved. Philip is significantly larger, and the two are about equal in centrality.

  • 44,-93: Minneapolis, USA for Minneapolis SW, Minnesota
  • 44,-88: Green Bay, USA for Appleton, Wisconsin

Debatable. While Green Bay has more residents and is better known outside the region, Appleton is fairly central while Green Bay is on the edge of the grat.

  • 44,-80: Owen Sound, Canada for Grey County, Ontario
  • 44,-77: Deseronto, Canada for Belleville, Ontario

wmcduff: Disagree. Belleville is much more known (and has a major junior hockey team :).

wmcduff: Agreed. Brockville is 20K to Ogdensburg's 10K.

  • 44,-74: Massena, USA for Potsdam, New York

Probably to be moved. While Potsdam may be more recognizable, Massena is larger, and Potsdam is partly cut off by the grat border.

  • 44,-72: Barre, USA for Montpelier, Vermont

Debatable. While Barre has more residents, Montpelier is the state capital and thus more recognizable to those outside the region, as well as slightly more central.

  • 44,-71: Berlin, USA for Gorham, New Hampshire

To be moved. Berlin is significantly larger and also slightly more central.

  • 44,-66: Lubec, USA for Metaghan, Nova Scotia

  • 44,26: Bucureşti, Romania for Bucharest, Romania

Reasoning: local name. -- CrystyB

  • 44,143: Mombetsu, Japan for Monbetsu, Japan

wmcduff: Debatable. While the village website is at 'mombetsu', Wikipedia goes with Monbetsu, which is how I'd write the kana in English.

  • 44,145: Otrada, Russia for Mount Rausu, Japan

If anything, it should be Yuzhno-Kuril'sk, Russia. Otrada is a small village, Mount Rausu isn't a settlement at all, Rausu is slightly smaller than Yuzhno-Kuril'sk.

  • 43,-119: Burns, USA for Hines, Oregon

Probably to be moved. Burns is larger, and the two are roughly equally central.

  • 43,-107: Airport Road, USA for Lysite, Wyoming
  • 43,-103: Hot Springs, USA for Custer, South Dakota

Debatable. While Martin is slightly larger, Kadoka has an airport. The two are equally central.

  • 43,-100: Rosebud, USA for Murdo, South Dakota

  • 43,-97: Parkston, USA for Alexandria, South Dakota

Debatable. While Parkston is larger, it's also on the edge of the grat.

  • 43,-94: Fairmont, MN for Estherville, Iowa

Probably to be moved. Fairmont is larger and more central, and the grat's split equally between the states.

  • 43,-93: Mason City, IA for Albert Lea, Minnesota

Probably to be moved. Mason City is larger and only slightly less central than Albert Lea, and the grat's split equally between the states.

  • 43,-88: Waukesha, USA for Fond du Lac, Wisconsin

Probably to be moved. Waukesha is significantly larger and somewhat more well-known nearby. However, Waukesha is also on the edge of the grat, unlike Fond du Lac.

  • 43,-82: Sandusky, USA for Sarnia North, Ontario
  • 43,-81: Goderich, Canada for London North, Ontario
  • 43,-80: Kitchener, Canada for Waterloo, Ontario

wmcduff: How about Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario? I seem to hear them as one city all the time as of late.

  • 43,-78: Oshawa, Canada for Lockport, New York
  • 43,-74: Gloversville, USA for Hamilton County, New York

Probably to be moved, as it seems like grats are generally named after towns, not counties.

  • 43,-73: Saratoga Springs, USA for Glens Falls, New York

Probably to be moved. While Glens Falls is more central, Saratoga Springs is larger and more recognizable.

  • 43,-72: Rutland, VT for Claremont, New Hampshire

  • 43,144: Bihoro, Japan for Nakashibetsu, Japan
  • 42,-107: Jeffrey City, USA for Bairoil, Wyoming

Debatable. The population difference is negligible, as is the centrality difference.

  • 42,-102: Alliance, USA for Rushville, Nebraska

Probably to be moved. While Rushville is more central, Alliance is significantly larger.

  • 42,-101: Mullen, USA for Cody, Nebraska

Probably to be moved. Mullen is larger, and the two are roughly equally central.

  • 42,-99: Ainsworth, USA for Bassett, Nebraska

  • 42,-74: Amsterdam, USA for Cooperstown, New York

Debatable. While Amsterdam is significantly bigger, Cooperstown may be better-known outside the region.

  • 42,-9: Muros, Spain for Ribeira, Spain
I would much rather name it Fisterra because, although Ribeira is the larger town, Fisterra is perhaps more iconic as it is slightly more to the west and Cape Finisterre, which is a common final destination for pilgrims, is located there. --DRZ (talk) 22:00, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
Ribeira is a larger town but it is also almost entirely outside the graticule. Muros appears to be the largest municipality, and Cee appears to be the largest locality. No comment on iconicity - none of those names are familiar to me except Cape Finisterre itself. --January First-of-May (talk) 23:12, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

  • 42,142: Shizunai, Japan for Shinhidaka, Japan
  • 42,145: Cape Namida, Japan for Akkeshi, Japan
I understand the idea of naming a barely-land graticule for a nearby town, but at least check that it is actually in this town. This graticule's land area is entirely in Hamanaka. --January First-of-May (talk) 15:00, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
  • 41,-117: McDermitt, USA for Paradise Hill, Nevada

First, the town is Paradise Valley. Second, McDermitt straddles the graticule line, while Paradise Valley is fairly central.

  • 41,-112: Roy, USA for Clearfield, Utah

Debatable. Roy is bigger, but is closer to the graticule border.

  • 41,-108: Superior, USA for Table Rock, Wyoming

To be moved. Table Rock is now a ghost town, with no population, making Superior a good option despite being near the grat border. (Point of Rocks, the other city in the grat, has a population of 3, as opposed to Superior's several hundred.)

  • 41,-102: Sidney, USA for Chappell, Nebraska

Debatable. While Sidney is significantly larger, it also is near the grat border.

  • 41,-96: Fremont, USA for Omaha, Nebraska

To be moved. Omaha is split along the grat border.

  • 41,9: Porto-Vecchio, France for Bonifacio, France

Debatable. Burney is larger, but Chester is somewhat more central.

  • 40,-119: Burning Man, USA for Gerlach, Nevada

Probably to be moved. Burning Man is certainly more well-known outside the region than the small town of Gerlach.

To be moved. West Wendover is the Nevada city which falls within the grat.

  • 40,-102: Yuma, USA for Holyoke, Colorado

Debatable. Nebraska City is larger, but the grat is slightly more Iowa, and Shenandoah is more central.

  • 40,-94: Maryville, MO for Bedford, Iowa

Probably to be moved. Maryville is significantly larger than Bedford, and the grat's cut in half between the two states.

  • 40,-93: Trenton, USA for Princeton, Missouri

Debatable. While Trenton is larger, Princeton is more central.

  • 40,-88: Champaign, USA for Champaign/Urbana, Illinois

Debatable. While Champaign is the bigger of the two cities, they're often referred to together (like the Twin Cities), often in the context of University of Illinois.

  • 40,-83: Marion, USA for Marysville, Ohio

  • 40,24: Kavála, Greece for Kavala, Greece
  • 40,49: Baku, Azerbaijan for Baky, Azerbaijan
Baku is the usual English name. transliterated from Russian; the Latin Azerbaijani name is Bakı, and maybe we should use that. I couldn't find any sources for "Baky". --January First-of-May (talk) 16:19, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

  • 39,-101: Colby, USA for Goodland, Kansas

Debatable. While Colby is slightly larger, it's also closer to the grat border.

  • 39,-100: Oskaloosa, USA for Grinnell, Kansas

While Oskaloosa is bigger than Grinnell, Grinnell is home to a fairly well-known liberal arts college, making this one debatable.

  • 39,-99: Norton, USA for Stockton, Kansas

Debatable. While Norton is bigger, Stockton is more central.

  • 39,-98: Beloit, USA for Osborne, Kansas

Debatable. While Beloit is larger, Osborne is more central and the name of one of the counties.

Probably to be moved. Concordia is significantly larger and more central.

  • 39,-94: North Kansas City, USA for Kansas City, Missouri
  • 39,-85: Columbus, USA for Greensburg, Indiana

Arguable. While Columbus is significantly larger than Greensburg, Greensburg is more central, and Columbus risks confusion with the nearby city of Columbus, Ohio.

  • 39,-82: Columbus, USA for Lancaster, Ohio
  • 39,-81: Parkersburg, WV for Marietta, Ohio

Debatable. Fairmont is slightly bigger, Clarksburg somewhat more central.

  • 39,-78: Winchester, VA for Cumberland, Maryland

  • 39,-9: Caldas da Rainha, Portugal for Torres Vedras, Portugal
  • 39,-8: Monsanto, Portugal for Leiria, Portugal
  • 39,-4: Talavera de la Reina, Spain for Toledo, Spain

Not oppose. Although Talavera de la Reina has indeed more population, Toledo is more representative. --SastRe.O (talk) 21:23, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Toledo is actually a tiny bit larger by the 2017 estimates, and about 2% larger by the 2022 estimates. OTOH, it's also split by the graticule border. In any case, as the medieval capital of Spain [EDIT: and also as the namesake provincial capital], it's probably far more famous. --January First-of-May (talk) 16:31, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
  • 39,15: Cetraro, IT for Scalea, Italy

  • 38,-86: Jasper, USA for Bedford, Indiana

Jasper is somewhat larger, Bedford somewhat more central.

  • 38,-84: Lexington-Fayette, USA for Frankfort, Kentucky

Lexington is much bigger than Frankfort, although it's on the edge of the grat... while it's a part of the official name, is the -Fayette needed?

  • 34,-119: Oxnard, USA for Santa Barbara, California

Oxnard is more populous than Santa Barbara, and which of the two is more recognizable is debatable.

Certainly Santa Barbara is more recognizable and historically significant. After all that most excellent TV show Psych is conspicuously set here. Although if we were going after recognizable we would have to add Ojai into the mix. I lean towards keeping it Santa Barbara, but the only active hasher is working out of the greater Oxnard area. --Scerruti
And the largest feature is Los Padres National Park. I'd recommend listing the names of larger towns like Oxnard on the page itself, just so a search for Oxnard will hit the page (it doesn't hit anything now.) -- Jevanyn

Yes, Hemet may be larger in population but I happen to know for a fact that no one there geohashes or even owns a computer. Actually Palm Springs could make an argument for this Graticule as well, you may have heard of it, the Rat Pack used to hang out there. But, this Graticule is dominated by California's largest State Park, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, an immense wilderness that will only not try to kill you for two weeks in the spring when the flowers are blooming. Therefore I suggest it be left as-is. --Scerruti

  • 32,-116: El Cajon, USA for Tecate, Mexico

Tecate is not a good name for this graticule, at least until geohashing catches on in Mexico. However El Cajon is not much better. I would suggest Alpine, CA as the replacement name, but I would like to hear opinions. --Scerruti

I'd suggest keeping Tecate. There is a town on either side of the border with that name, and it's smack in the center. Short of making Tijuana a split city (and pissing off everyone in San Diego), I'd leave it as is. And there have been geohashes in Mexico (I think relet did one?) -- Jevanyn
relet's map shows successful hashes around Mexico City. There is only one apparent cross border (from: US to Mexico) attempt shown and I believe that was a typo and did not actually happen in Mexico. I am frankly shocked I didn't realize that this graticule needs to be left as-is because there is a beer named after it. -- Scerruti

  • 32,34: Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel for Tel-Aviv (Goosh Dan), Israel
  • 32,35: Irbid, Jordan for Haifa East, Israel
For all we know, the largest city in that graticule could be Amman North in the very southeast corner; but even if that is true (which is likely if hard to prove), such a name would be incredibly unrepresentative of the graticule (which is mostly Israel and contested areas). Irbid is still much larger than Haifa East, however.

+1 for 'Puerto Palomas, Mexico'. The main reason people have heard of Columbus is that Pancho Villa raided their armory, so might as well give the grat a Mexican placename anyway. Arlo (talk) 03:25, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Kinshasa is the largest city in Africa. I hadn't realized it doesn't have its own graticule. Tough luck for Brazzaville, I guess. Obvious rename candidate and I'm surprised it hadn't been noticed before. --January First-of-May (talk) 11:39, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Either Taiohae (largest settlement) or Nuku Hiva (the island). Anaho is a tiny village. --January First-of-May (talk) 21:06, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

I suggest the name 'Far North', NZ for this graticule, as it is what the region is known as, and more north than Northland.

Oppose. The current name explains everything you need to know about the graticule. The whole island is completely inside the graticule. - Danatar (talk) 18:50, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

  • -44,170: Fairlie, NZ for Waitaki River, New Zealand
  • -46,167: Tuatapere, NZ for Te Waewae Bay, New Zealand
  • -49,70: Port-aux-Français, TF for Kerguelen Islands East, Indian Ocean
As a (relative) non-fan of island-plus-compass-direction names like that, I propose a full set of place names: Port-aux-Français, Kerguelen for -49,70, Port Bizet, Kerguelen for -49,69 (to be discussed, many options in this graticule), Port Curieuse, Kerguelen for -49,68, Port Christmas, Kerguelen for -48,69, La Montjoie, Kerguelen for -48,68, and Îles de Boynes, Kerguelen for -50,68. --January First-of-May (talk) 23:13, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
As the one who named those graticules, I oppose these suggestions. The majority of people on Earth don't even know that the Kerguelen islands exist. Those that do might know that they are in the Indian Ocean, the next fact would be that they are cold and barely inhabitated. Anything more is extremely special knowledge. Right now, everybody who reads "Kerguelen Islands Northwest" will know that the respective graticule is the northwestern one. I see absolutely no gain in renaming the graticule, because when I read "Port Curieuse" I will know less about where the graticule is than when I read "northwest". The Kerguelen islands are a largely uninhabited place and nobody goes there except for some scientists. If and when somebody ever goes geohashing there, they can ask the locals about which port or hill or strange-looking rock is most important to define the area. - Danatar (talk) 18:50, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
  • -51,-59: Port Howard, FK for Falkland Sound, Falkland Islands, Atlantic Ocean
...There's a lot to be said about the Falkland graticules. Little of it pleasant. It's worse than Kerguelen. Um, could I have a table?
Lat\Long -61 -60 -59 -58 -57
-50 Jason West Cay, Falkland Islands Atlantic Ocean Atlantic Ocean Atlantic Ocean Atlantic Ocean
-51 Beaver Island, Falkland Islands Fox Bay, Falkland Islands Port Howard, Falkland Islands Mount Pleasant, Falkland Islands Stanley, Falkland Islands
-52 Orford Hill, Falkland Islands Port Stephens, Falkland Islands North Arm, Falkland Islands Bleaker Island, Falkland Islands Atlantic Ocean
Note for -51,-61: Weddell [sic] Island is only partly in this graticule, and its main settlement is outside it.
Note for -52,-61: "Cape Orford" could work, but the corresponding settlement is just outside this graticule.
Note for -52,-58: there are larger islands in this graticule, but this appears to be the only populated one.
...OK, that should be all of it. I think. For now, anyway. --January First-of-May (talk) 21:52, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
  • -51,-58: Goose Green Settlement, FK for East Falkland Center, Atlantic Ocean
As far as I can tell, Mount Pleasant is larger and not as close to the edge. (See also above for a more general treatment of the Falklands.) --January First-of-May (talk) 21:52, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
Similar to the Kerguelen islands, the names for these graticules should stay as they are until the locals decided on a better name. While the Falklands are much more inhabitated than the Kerguelen islands, the current scheme is much more useful for anybody who hasn't extensive knowledge about local geography. Don't make it unnecessarily complicated and don't rename any graticules that don't need changes without having been there. - Danatar (talk) 18:50, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
