==What's Obscure?==
What counts as obscure? I wouldn't consider Beijing to be obscure, but would consider Urumqi and Kashgar (also in China) to be obscure.
A specific place should be considered obscure by Williams standards if nobody in the undergraduate population was born there or lived there. That would eliminate some of the capitals (Honolulu) and big metropolises (Beijing, Hong Kong). Come on...the capital of Greece is not obscure.
In my neverending [[Project:Naming conventions|quest to make articles that won't fall into fast disuse due to weird titles]], I am thinking why don't we reconceive this one under a title "Traveling" or "Travels". I welcome a similar shortie name, but this one ought to change, especially since we aren't listing students primarily, but rather places and then students, so it's more like "Obscure places students have been". The title change is more than cosmetic -- we can have sections for traditional Williams destinations, like Montreal and Hiltonhead (though I'd say [[Hiltonhead]] should be its own article). We would title a section in a "Travels" article "Obscure places" or the like, and another section for more common places. Opinions?--[[User:05jl|Jonathan]] 00:28, 18 May 2006 (EDT)
