Graticule name

Why does it have to be the Graticule Name? Your example (which is my pic) is wrong then, it should be Rheine, not Ochtrup (I also wrongly named the 52 7 graticule after the main river, Ems). The problem I have with graticule names is, cities are often at the edge, or in a corner. When the hash is not even near that place, it seems wrong to me to name a hash after that city. I use the nearest city/town/village, which in this particular case was also weird, because the hash was sort-of in the _middle_ of nowhere between multiple towns.

Also, the all-graticule page is very outdated. 52 7 is not even in it.--Arvid 15:38, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

All Graticules is not automatically generated. If your graticule is not covered, you are welcome to add it. In the past, the standard for galleries had been to list the graticule name for ease of recognition. However, looking at recent entries, I see the paradigm has shifted a bit during the last few weeks. My apologies. I will correct the instructions. --Tim P 15:49, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
