neuronix Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 I have an entry on my sketch which took place in San Francisco. I want ideas of how to put it in the 'location' part of the OMSAS. Here's the kicker though...for 99% of my entries I included the province: I.E Guelph, ON or Chicago, IL any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future_doc Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 S.F., Calif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamP Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 S.F., Calif. I wouldn't do that, there are multiple places in cali with the initials S.F. just fit as much of the city name as you can and use CA to identify the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattg Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 maybe San Fran, CA? or S. Fran., CA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostLamb Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 I don't think they are going to confuse San Francisco CA with San Francisco anywhere else. Do you have space to put CA? or USA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamP Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I don't think they are going to confuse San Francisco CA with San Francisco anywhere else.Do you have space to put CA? or USA? could be confused with san fernando which is also in cali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostLamb Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 could be confused with san fernando which is also in cali I thought the OP's problem was that s/he couldn't fit the state name in the required spot. Last year, I had to fit 'Lake Louise AB' into my sketch for location, inputted it in as 'LakeLouiseAB'. No complaints! 'SanFrancisco' takes up the same amount of space (12 chararcters) and not having CA, or US, or whatever is not going to make or break the application Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just that we all try to perfect the application to the extent that we wouldn't want even a single questionable inconsistency, regardless of the fact that everyone know's it will have no bearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenna-m Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 How about St. Catharines, Ontario? all of my sketch locations have the province included, but for this one all I could fit was "StCatharines" Also, do you think it's horrible to list no location for something? Under "other" I put that I'm a member of the Association of Medical Illustrators. I'm a member... wherever I happen to be! I just put N/A under location.... does that make sense?
