The category description includes grasslands although the title says forests. This makes this category proposal even more difficult to distinguish from other public lands categories. Reading the category description, it is impossible to tell whether or not it is intended to be U.S. Forests only or worldwide. The paragraphs in it seem to ...

Occasionally, people try to waymark unusually-shaped trees in the Exceptional Trees category which is only for exceptionally large or old trees. Exceptionally large or old trees are great of course, but unusually shaped trees can be more photogenic and special to find and visit. This would not be an easy category because it would be somewhat ...

I voted ''yea''.  I have a question though.  Does this category include raw seafood specialty places where one could by raw fish, or smoked fish, or raw shellfish for cooking, or is this just for mammal meats?

Interesting category idea! I suggest a minimum number of steps from the start point to the finish point.  There are many places where there are maybe 3 steps for some small topological change.  A bunch of those waymarked in the category would tend to bury the excellent examples shown in this thread. I liked the idea that the ...

Hmm, interesting theory.  I don't know how to determine that.  I guess I should use another editor and do the same cropping with it and see what happens on a waymark.

BruceS: black dog trackers:Why I very rarely vote no - 1) Judging 'too regional' is difficult.  Many of us are in the U.S. or Canada and they are relatively huge countries.  Waymarking was started/defined by including a McDonalds category made by TPTB.  McDonalds isn't commonly everywhere in the world so why deny other ...

It saves a photo, not just a thumbnail. It only does the thin line thing when I crop a picture and thereby change the width-to-height ratio.

TheBeanTeam: black dog trackers: (There is something funny about the waymarking site's thumbnail versions - any cropped picture shows up as a thin line in a black rectangle, but the large view is OK.  Or is it the editor I'm using?)I don't think it is your editor. Unless there are a lot of us using the same one. I use Picasa. You? I use ...

My main objective in taking a picture for making a waymark is to follow the rules.  Secondarily, I like to get a shot that isn't ruined by something like bad reflections, shooting into the sun, shooting from my car window and getting part of the car in the shot, etc.  My third priority is to get my picture taken without calling undue ...

I certainly don't want any photos to be hidden.  I want to see what people have discovered, without having to do any clicking. The main discovery aspect of Waymarking is to discover things to waymark. After a place is waymarked, then the discovery is to go there and discover some aspect that the waymark's page itself doesn't ...

No doubt there is an interest in a car-hop category.  However, that should not deter you from  the present process for the Sonics category.  The interesting thing about a car-hop/drive-in category is to have a place to waymark non-chain car-hop/drive-ins.  The way to do that is to establish both categories; Sonic and ...

Nice to have a little amusement while doing a peer review. Great category!  

An independent (non-chain) car hops category would be good, and so would a Sonic category.  Both categories should be started.
