Hi guys, you might be interested in this template I made: [[Template:GraticuleQ]]. It lets you specify four-graticule cities like yours in a single wossname. I quickly whipped up this example → , with the four huge maps... normally you'd probably only specify a single map, and make it an image or something (there's an example on the [[Template:GraticuleQ|template page]]). Anyway, it's there if you want to check it out. --[[User:Mattyk|Matty]] 10:51, 30 November 2008 (UTC) | Hi guys, you might be interested in this template I made: [[Template:GraticuleQ]].

Revision as of 05:13, 25 June 2009
I added Calgary to the list of Active Graticules on http://wiki.xkcd.com/geohashing/Active_Graticules. When I first added it though, I called it Calgary, AB which created a new and different page than this one. I have since deleted that and changed the listing so that it directs to this page but I think it would better if the page was Calgary, AB as that is how the majority of other cities are listed.
- This has been fixed to current Naming conventions. --Thomcat 17:19, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Renaming the suburb graticules
Looking at the Calgary graticules, it doesn't really make that much sense to me that 51,-113; 50,-113; and 50,-114 are labeled as Calgary just because Calgary's suburbs hang a bit into them. If you showed me pictures of those graticules on their own, I'd identify them as Strathmore area, Okotoks/Claresholm area, and Black Diamond area. IMO, doing the following renamings would do a better job of describing the region:
- 51,-114: Calgary NW -> Calgary
- 51,-113: Calgary NE -> Strathmore
- 50,-113: Calgary SE -> Okotoks
- 50,-114: Calgary SW -> Black Diamond
What do people think of this? - Elbie 05:13, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
