Talk:Boston, Massachusetts
Rename
Using the naming conventions, I've corrected most of the graticules in North America, and other editors have done the rest. The only remaining holdout is Boston.
Proposal - move this page/talk combination (and correct all links) to Boston, Massachusetts. Comments? --Thomcat 14:31, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
- One is a redirect to the other right now... all it would take is a "MOVE" to flip that around. That way, there would be no disruption to those who use this page frequently. Fixing all the pointing links around the wiki wouldn't be so crucial, but would probably also be a good thing. --Tim P 20:44, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
- Done! --Thomcat 19:34, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
Layout
How about inversing the geohashes so the most recent is at the top? Any thoughts? -- Loch
- Agreed. I made the change. At some point (perhaps in a few weeks) we should also change to showing the most recent 8(?) or so hashes, and have the rest at Boston/Archive.--Ahecht 20:21, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
How about putting the geohashers in alpha sort? Any thoughts?
Statistic/Achievement Suggestion
The area inside Rhode Island state boundries comprises only about half a percent of the total area of the graticule, which means about a 1 in 200 chance of getting a hash in Rhode Island. However, should someone acheive such a hash, it should be very easy to get one in the Providence grat, and have completed hashes in all (both) Rhode Island grats.
Should there be an achievement for completing a state or province, perhaps? A Rhode Island Achievement for the above example, for instance. The badge would be an outline of the state, natch, though few states would be easy to complete. -Wmcduff 04:40, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
