Not sure about deleting

  • CURSE - nice curious "ooh i wonder what that is" link
I've added the Curse of the Geohash page to the fun stuff category, is there anything else that needs doing about it? I feel that keeping both versions of it is not needed. -- UnwiseOwl 08:17, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Keep these, they make perfect sense.
Yes, they can use "Multihash" if they know that a double hash is a special case of a multihash. In creating these redirects (and ones like "Cambridge") I was trying to follow what I thought was a wiki rule -- if something is known by various names, then redirecting from those alternate names is a Helpful Thing To Do. Sure, anyone knowledgable or dedicated enough is going to be able to find the "real" page anyway, but why shouldn't we make it easy for them? Useless stuff should indeed be deleted, but not useful or helpful things. -- Benjw 15:37, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Just to clarify, a LOT of the shorter city name pages have been tagged and deleted already, so I feel like I'm being a bit hypocritical if I let those particular ones stay, but not the multitude of others. --joannac 21:29, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
And I like your reasoning, as long as I don't end up with all variations of [D|d]ouble [H|h]ash. ;) --joannac 21:29, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Naming

I named the South Georgia graticules. What's the problem? If it is about "Atlantic Ocean": I think it is important, because else nobody would know where in the world it is. - Danatar 07:16, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
Having heard it enough times, no one from the area will know it without both cities, so hyphen is probably best. --aperfectring 12:21, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

obsolete, need to be cleared out

Pages to be fixed
