Proposal: This should be organized by country or at least continent, to make it easier for potential renamers to look at areas they are familiar with.

Graticules where major continent or country is not clear will be listed separately. --Superbest 23:48, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

I am in general opposed to renaming graticules just because someone who isn't anywhere near them thinks that another name better represents the area. Let the locals change the name if it turns out that it is named after a suburb or an unfamiliar place. -Robyn 00:47, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Why is it suggested that Placename, State names become Placename, USA names? This is a bad idea because many placenames are repeated from state to state. And it's uncommon for them to be referred to that way by locals. -Robyn 04:39, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
