Regional maps

I've seen you've recently created the map of visited graticules for Slovakia. I wanted to do the same with Spain, but prefered to know before doing it by hand if there's any tool already made to do it automatically. Thanks in advance. Gormaz (talk) 21:25, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

I created Spain. As far as I am aware there is no tool, but I have a (pretty bad and not universal) script that did most of the copy-pasting. Hopefully I did not make too many mistakes, but if you find any, feel free to correct them. --Fippe (talk) 09:47, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much! At first sight it seems to be fine, I'll check it more thoroughly when I find some more time, though. BTW, thanks for all the edits you're doing, you're working hard for the wiki :) Gormaz (talk) 22:37, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you! :-) --Fippe (talk) 09:23, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I run a notification script on both Twitter and IRC. I have currently put your username on the ignore list since the number of page creations is a bit high. If anyone else is planning on creating a lot of pages, please let me know or use a bot account (my script does ignore creations that are marked as bot creations).--Eupeodes (talk) 09:20, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for letting me know. --Fippe (talk) 09:23, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Ow, and keep up the good work! Creating the pages is a good thing. I will do some work on the pages for the Netherlands soon (I think I am still listed in the graticule where I lived before 2014).--Eupeodes (talk) 09:26, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Cool, thank you! :-) --Fippe (talk) 09:45, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi from Sourcerer

Hello - I've noticed you making quite a lot of wiki corrections, all of which make sense too! Keep up the good work. It's appreciated. --Sourcerer (talk) 16:05, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you! :-) --Fippe (talk) 16:55, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Moving graticule articles

Hey, I want to change the naming of the graticules on the Canary Islands so they're called after the island they are in. Is it enough to use the move button on top of the page or would I be breaking anything? Gormaz (talk) 14:45, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

There are a few additional things that you should do. (1) You should change the names here too. (2) You should redirect the graticule "shortcut" to the new name. For example, 29,-13 redirects to Teguise, Spain currently, but should redirect to the new name afterwards. (3) You should also change the name on the graticule page itself, and on the graticule pages that surround the graticule. You can find a list of pages that link to Teguise here. --Fippe (talk) 19:24, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Ok! Thank you very much! I'll see if I can do it tomorrow. Gormaz (talk) 19:39, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

You surprised me

So I saw that you want to have a Palestine page. While I will leave all of my opinions about the Palestinian Authority out of this discussion, I do not believe that any of my hashpoints were in Palestine. There were no Palestinian police officers or soldiers there though I did see Israeli soldiers. There was no Palestinian currency used there even though on many of the trips I bought things in New Israeli Shekels. The only identification I needed to travel to these locations was my Israeli one which allowed me to enter the State of Israel. I can allow you to call the areas under A and B Palestine because there the Palestinian Authority has control (this is the best map for that: https://www.btselem.org/map). In light of these facts, nobody has successfully been at a geohash in any point that could be called Palestine according to the modern definition. Now if you want to start fighting wars before 1948 then this site is going to have to figure out what to do with http://wiki.xkcd.com/geohashing/Indonesia. Yosef (talk)
