Location Naming Conventions
From SharedTree Wiki
[edit]
US Locations:
- City, County, State (Please do not list the State by postal code, for example CA for California. Utilizing the postal codes for the various States can result in confusion and misundertanding if one is not familiar with the location.) (Do not type USA)
[edit]
Other Countries
- City, Province/County/Shire, Country
Farms, Buildings
- Building, City, County, State
[edit]
Questions
- Should we list the farm or building?
- How should we represent approximate locations or guesses?
There is a lot of work in the area for documenting locations. I am considering an entire database of location names along with start and end years for each location. See help on Browse Places.
