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.

The Wrocław Old Town's Main Square center is approx. at 51.110, 17.032 so the 17th meridian cuts the city almost through its center.

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.

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 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.

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,-84: Midland, USA for Mt. Pleasant, Michigan.

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. Probably to be moved.

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.

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.

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.
