Revision as of 01:03, 14 April 2012
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.

I don't think it's a good idea to switch scripts unless everything is going to be in its native script. 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,-48: Grønnedal, Greenland for Kangilinnguit, Greenland. 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.

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. 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,-3: Kirkcaldy, United Kingdom for Perth, United Kingdom. 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. 55,-2: Berwick-Upon-Tweed, United Kingdom for Jedburgh, United Kingdom. 55,-1: North Shields, United Kingdom for Blyth, United Kingdom. 55,22: Telšiai, Lithuania for Tauragė, Lithuania.

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. 54,-1: Newcastle upon Tyne, UK for Middlesbrough, United Kingdom. 54,8: Westerland, Germany for Tønder, Denmark. :May be moved - Westerland is slightly larger (by about 25%) 54,21: Chernyakhovsk, Russia for Giżycko, Poland. 53,-10: An Clochán, Ireland for Clifden, Ireland. 53,-8: Béal Átha na Sluaighe, Ireland for Loughrea, Ireland. 53,-7: An Muileann gCearr, Ireland for Mullingar, Ireland. 53,-4: Bangor, United Kingdom for Anglesey, United Kingdom. 53,-2: Liverpool, United Kingdom for Manchester, United Kingdom. 53,-1: Leeds, United Kingdom for Sheffield, United Kingdom. 53,-0: Kingston upon Hull, United Kingdom for Hull, United Kingdom. 53,4: Den Burg, Netherlands for Texel, Netherlands. 52,-10: An Daingean, IE for Dingle, Ireland. 52,-9: Trá Lí, IE for Tralee, Ireland. 52,-7: Port Láirge, IE for Waterford, Ireland. 52,-6: Ceatharlach, IE for Carlow, Ireland. 52,-3: Oswestry, UK for Mid Wales, United Kingdom. 52,-2: Wolverhampton, UK for Shrewsbury, United Kingdom. 51,-10: Cahersiveen, IE for Caherciveen, Ireland. 51,-9: Beanntraí, IE for Bantry, Ireland. 51,-7: Eochaill, IE for Youghal, Ireland. 51,-4: Llanelli, UK for Barnstaple, United Kingdom. 51,-1: Oxford, UK for Swindon, United Kingdom. :May be moved - Oxford is internationally well known in a way that Swindon is not. 51,10: Nordhausen, DE for Goslar, Germany. :Debatable. Both towns are about the same size and importance. Currently Nordhausen is slightly larger, Goslar is better known and historically more important. 51,24: Kovel', Ukraine for Kovel, Ukraine. 51,30: Славутич, Ukraine for Slavutych, Ukraine. :Cyrillics again! Graticule names shouldn't be in other scripts. 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.)

The towns are completely dwarfed by the geography. 47,-121: Monroe, USA for Snoqualmie, Washington. :Snoqualmie is not only a town, but the pass, the river and the region. 47,-115: Osburn, USA for Thompson Falls, Montana. 47,-114: Polson, USA for Flathead Lake, Montana. 47,-110: Fort Benton, USA for Stanford, Montana. 47,-108: Hays, USA for Grass Range, Montana. 47,-104: Glendive, USA for Sidney, Montana. 47,-102: New Town, USA for Halliday, North Dakota. 47,-101: Beulah, USA for Max, North Dakota. 47,-100: Wilton, USA for McClusky, North Dakota. 47,-99: Carrington, USA for Sykeston, North Dakota. 47,-98: Fort Totten, USA for Cooperstown, North Dakota. 47,-95: Red Lake, USA for Bagley, Minnesota. 47,-92: Hibbing, USA for Virginia, Minnesota. 47,-91: Ely, USA for Silver Bay, Minnesota. 47,-79: Saint-Bruno-de-Guigues, Canada for Temiskaming Shores, Ontario. 47,-70: Beaupré, Canada for Clermont, Québec. 47,-56: Miquelon, PM for McCallum, Newfoundland and Labrador. 47,-55: Grand Bank, Canada for Marystown, Newfoundland and Labrador. 47,-4: Fouesnant, France for Quimper, France. 47,-2: Saint-Nazaire, France for Vannes, France. 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,-114: Orchard Homes, USA for Missoula, Montana. Not to be moved. Orchard Homes is just part of Missoula. 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,-111: Montana City, USA for Townsend, Montana. Probably not to be moved. Montana City is a CDP, while Townsend is an actual town, and the population difference is negligible. 46,-109: Harlowton, USA for Harlowtown, Montana. To be moved. Harlowton is the correct spelling, Harlowtown just a typo. 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.
