 * I don't think that we can target ISO3166 regions smaller than a whole country. We certainly can't set up a single message to target more than one area - however that area is defined. Also, geolocation within the UK is ropy, to say the least - see User:Redrose64 - at present, my IP address geolocates to 51.5°N, -0.13°W, more than fifty miles off. It might be best to specify the diagonally opposite corners of a rectangle. -- Red rose64 (talk) 20:06, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
