yes, but the aspect of the public pool that i am aiming for: a categoryless mark. the aids memorial. now if you all will post the ones you find.... and how long will it take to get enugh to make a category? if it isnt in the public pool, then noone will know it exists.... we all bemoaned this UCM idea. then i (at least) came around and see the ...

so, are you saying one should 'resteal' a 'stolen' mark? but then wouldnt it have to go before officer review again? and, thus, create 'more work'?

yes, it is currently 'my' UCM. but if someone 'beats me to it' AFTER the 'aids memorial' category is formed, it will then become their mark. much like my 'relief art' posting of the 1935 Keys Hurricane Memorial became SfWife's waymark--after she added her 'requested' 'closeup' pic, and added it (back to) the category..... ---- and i believe O was

well, that happened during the no notification spell after the update.... since it was/is no longer 'my mark', i wondered how it turned out.....i have yet to recieve any sort of notification about that waymark. does it now become 'mine' again? and i discussed the topic (aids memorial as a disaster) and not one of them thought that was a good fit

i told you that wouldnt work.....

i get a notice everytime an unfriend turns on their gps. and im watching you all....

i have seen Apple machines...do those count? maybe a Sony one too....

BruceS:The original thread that introduced uncategorized waymarks then known as orphans is here.  The key line on ''credit'' is ''If the group accepts the waymark, it gains full waymark status and now shows up in regular searches on the site. You get full credit for entering the waymark just as if you had known the category from ...

saopaulo1:This is why I don't like using the uncategorized category feature. I think since the beginning Groundspeak said that credit for posting would go to the helper. I just find it weird to categorize a waymark and get all the credit when I've never been there. I seems like armchair waymarking. but doesnt this system seem to further alienate ...

in relation to 'american' shouldnt the results be the categories with that word first? then second? and so on.... i usually try to use the first word of the category (american, georgia, FL) what about 'war' or 'memorial'...both of these return A LOT of results, and it seems to not have any order at all.... i could go for a WOW for ...

BruceS:How this should have been set up is that categorizer recommends a category, which then opens up variables and he completes those he can, then  it should go back to the original submitter to complete and submit.  It would work much like the edits work except it would be between the original submitter and categorizer. i thought ...

how about this one: look for 'American Guide Series' enter 'American' as the search word.... AGS is like the 4th entry--there are categories about it that do not even have american as the first word in the title. and yes, i have several other search terms, for real common categories, that return everything but what i want. but, there is a ...

i believe it was SQ that said somewhere...'state historic markers' would not pass a vote in the current climate.....

my first attempt, returned a message saying 'no GUID' was entered. now all i get is the blank page again.... do i c/p the whole url, or just the GUID part?

i got a dclined notice, for which, it would have been an opportunity to 'answer the question' in the 'private message box' on the waymark..... but when i go back to add it and resubmit, the box is gone....

i commented to several people that there should be an 'instructions for officers' section--as many categories have 'regular approvers' and when someone else stepps in to 'pick up slack' there are things that could be pointed out....
