Geohashing:Community Portal/Renaming suggestions

From Geohashing
< Geohashing:Community Portal
Revision as of 19:25, 25 August 2010 by imported>Robyn (edited a number of the country abbbreviations to their proper form, as apparently that's what the page creator intended)

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.

57,-170: Saint Paul, Alaska for St. Paul, Alaska.
57,-154: Karluk, Alaska for Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska.
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.

56,21: Vec-Liepāja, LV for Liepāja East, Latvia.
Not to be moved - whatever "Vec-Liepāja" is supposed to be, the city is named Liepāja, and almost entirely in THIS graticule. Reason to make it split is basically that there is nothing except of a little bit of Liepāja in the western one, and nothing else worth mentioning in the eastern...

56,26: Līvāni, Latvia for Madona, Latvia.
Debatable. While Līvāni seems to be larger, Madona is better known and an administrational centre.

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.)

50,22: Rzeszów, PL for Stalowa Wola, Poland.
Not to be moved - Rzeszów is split

:Why would someone ever propose moving a crazily active graticule named after a huge sprawling municipality to a little horse-town, espeicalluy when its local geohashers are perfectly happy with the name? This suggestion makes me want to reject all the suggestions out of hand.

Not to be moved:
"Cherbourg-Octeville was formed when the city of Cherbourg was including the commune of Octeville on 28 February 2000, and was officially renamed Cherbourg-Octeville. In fact, people just say "Cherbourg".
-> Cherbourg still is the largest settlement, and the common name.

49,5: Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg for Verdun, France.
Debatable. Esch is larger, but Verdun is better known (mostly for the Battle of Verdun), also Esch is located at the very border of the graticule.

Oppose to the page as a whole. Most examples I checked are either wrong or there was a good reason why the graticule was named differently. No graticule should be renamed without a proper manual check on authoritative sources. --Ekorren 14:53, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

That's what the page is suggesting, basically. -- relet 16:10, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Oppose renaming states/provinces to countries in the US/Canada; all country abbreviations in graticule names; and most renaming at this point by someone who doesn't geohash there. -Robyn 04:47, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

General comment about Norway graticules: People in Norway named graticules mostly not after settlements, but after municipalities. Since those usually span several graticules, this also explains the many east/west/north/south graticules where no other half exists. It is debatable whether we want to keep that, or generally rename norwegian graticules according to the global conventions. --Ekorren 17:48, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
