→New Obscure places section

==New [[Travels#Obscure places|Obscure places]] section==
What do people think? I offer the "Boggle rule" as a fun way to limit one section of this article to ''really'' obscure places by an objective and easily enforced rule. Credit for the idea goes to [[Zach McArthur]], who left me an IM opining, "obscure places should only be listed if you're the ONLY williams kid to have gone there." By this, we can make a little game of this page.
'''Also,''' I formatted the section to remove the subheadings for places. This shortens the TOC, which could be good or bad. It makes it easier to later group places by area (continent, etc) if we want to do that. Opinions?
'''Also,''' can anyone think of a good guidline for place scale? Cities in North America, countries elsewhere? Cities in countries over XXX million people, otherwise countries?--[[User:05jl|Jonathan]] 19:09, 19 May 2006 (EDT)
==What's 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)
:I support a change to "Travels." This will encourage talking more about the destinations, which I'd like to read about.--[[User:06emm|Evan]] 23:43, 18 May 2006 (EDT) :I'll third that opinion - I admit that the title I came up with was too subjective for what I hoped would be a Williams [http://thorntree.lonelyplanet.com Thorn Tree]. --[[User:06arc 2|06arc 2]] 23:53, 18 May 2006 (EDT) I'm going to try the move, and reorganize things into some sections to work with. A chance comment by a friend on IM last night gave me an idea . . .--[[User:05jl|Jonathan]] 18:06, 19 May 2006 (EDT)
