chapterhouseinc: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'?Well, first, I think it is wrong to characterize these as ''stolen'' waymarks. If one submits a waymark without a category, then one is actually releasing it into the public ...

chapterhouseinc:
and i believe O was trying to get it back into the 'public' UCM que.....shouldnt i get a notification when he is successful at doing that
(ie: 'Your categorized waymark was declined and is now a UCM again'
your waymark (WMXXX) was c.But, I think one can just ''uncategorize'' one of one's own waymarks, so it could then be ...

You're kidding me! Ubiquitous and mundane, for the most part, here in Korea. Only thing worse would be pedestrian overpasses!Well, some of them have shopping areas with them. In fact, in Seoul, there is almost a second city underground with shopping areas in these underpasses and extending for blocks. Others, are

As far as I can tell, that error box pops up at random times - anything from posting a picture to accepting a warmark in review.A few times I've had it pop up repeatedly when trying to submit a waymark. I don't know if there is some value that is in the incorrect format, an invalid date for instance, or what. You might just look in your

What do you think about decorated ceilings as a category?.Well, I think this would be a tough one, as would any indoor category. Some things to consider:- Decorated? How decorated is ''decorated?'' Some ceilings have murals on them, some ornate woodwork, and all sorts of things. I think this might be hard to ...

dinoprophet:Good idea for a thread. I think keywords get overlooked a lot. The only category I've created is James Bond, and the keywords I used are:fleming spy movie book british brosnan connery moore dalton craigI didn't know at the time that the search checks all text fields, so some of these are redundant with the full category ...

txoilgas:
Again the whole purpose is to cover those that fall through the gaps of the larger broad brush categories.As I think I said initially, designing a category to fill gaps is immensely difficult. Fitting a category into ONE gap is hard enough, but to to build one for multiple gaps of different shapes and sizes is ...

Oh, I got one of my ''assisted waymarks'' approved.Along with it was a puzzled query from the reviewing officer (a very active one) asking what an ''assisted waymark'' was!I was going to put an explanation in the Private Message box, but it is still MIA, I guess.But, it does indicate that not everyone has got the word yet, and I think we can ...

BruceS:A person who submits an uncategorized waymark can categorize, edit, and
about do anything with their uncategorized waymark. Once the submitter
of an uncategorized waymark categorizes it just becomes an unfinished
waymark waiting to be submitted. In fact the person can completely
change the uncategorized waymark to total ...

the blue quasar:I'm not sure that I agree with everyone else in this topic. It is my impression that when anyone sends content to the ''Uncategorized'' section that they WANT it to be finished by someone else.
''I've taken this as far as I can. Please take over for me.''
If I am the one that categorizes it and completes any needed or ...

Big B Bob:I really think you need to see a shrink about your split personality... Naw, he just travels so much sometimes he doesn't know if he's coming or going! Or, maybe her just meets himself coming around the curve.Anyway, I think this points out a huge hole in this system.First, I'm not sure the one who categorizes someone else's ...

dunbar loop:I have tossed quite a few local historical group signs under the Signs of History category, so I'm not sure if this category is needed.
Can you mention what the criteria is in more detail?Exactly. I have too, but there are others that don't have a sign with enough information (according to that category's guidelines) to ...

Hard to comment without a more detailed description. There have been various attempts, from time to time, to fill gaps and it's difficult to define gaps. I think the Signs of History has done it quite successfully, though I've not submitted much there, so it's hard to say. I think a category such as you are proposing may end up ...

wicked witch of the west coast:I am thinking of quitting Waymarking My last words - People, it's a GAME!!!!! Well, I have a lot of sympathy for your position.Whether or not this is so egregious that you want to go play somewhere else is your decision to make. But, ''it's a game'' works both ways. If that is true, what do we do ...

cache_test_dummies:Many categories don't specify a reason for their existence. Are you saying that those that do must somehow demonstrate how the category can be guaranteed to deliver on it's stated purpose?Or are you just saying that if some people don't find a category to be of interest, the category creators must demonstrate some purpose and ...

Jake39: - How many have posted here compared to the number that will vote..? Not a good example to assume no one will vote for it!Peer review is a better way to gauge interest,Maybe . . . . How many typically vote in peer review? About 65, sometimes more, sometimes fewer.But, that is not my point.Let's say, for example, that out ...

ambrosia:A good portion of the submissions to the Look-Out Tower Category are Fire Lookout Towers. I'm not sure if a new Category just for Fire Lookout Towers wouldn't be a huge overlap (I'm guessing maybe half the submissions are for Fire Lookout Towers, but I haven't sat down and counted, so who knows).
I'm not sure what the solution would

ambrosia:
This meets these guidelines:
Informative: On the flipside, you may not exclaim ''Wow!'', but perhaps you or someone else might find the waymarks in this category useful in some way. These waymarks can aid in accomplishing an everyday task more efficiently,Does it really? I mean seriously?Okay, this is the purported reason for ...

TheBeanTeam:I created a post yesterday that got lost somehow....so here are my thoughts again. I worry about waymarkings reputation with categories like this. We already have an entire crowd that refuses to see past the McDonalds category. They will have a heyday with the restrooms category.''Those waymarkers are so desperate they will waymark ...

chapterhouseinc: and as someone else posted, when there are 'more than 5' pics in the gallery, can the waymark not have more than 5 displayed--as a key indicator that the gallery is 'large'......what about 10, 15, 20? how many is too many?I would strongly support such a feature (and may have mentioned it before).I'm sure the concern is load ...

cache_test_dummies:It's global. It's prevalent. It serves a useful purpose.Global - of course! We sure hope so, anyway.Prevalent - fails this test because they are TOO prevalent! Unless the category is severely restricted.Useful - in serious doubt! Especially if it is limited so it is not ubiquitous. Given the random and ...

BruceS:As I review the new group listing I see many groups for categories which really have no chance of making it through peer review as ''regular'' categories. They would fail primarily for being too geographically restricted or too special interest or lack prevalence. What I propose is Private/Special Interest/Restricted ...

bootron:If I am not mistaken, these edit boxes do not show up when you create a new waymark. Only for editing waymarks. We figured that in a vast majority of edit cases there would be one or two edits to make. We don't want people to completely rennovate waymarks, we want spelling, punctuation, factual and formatting errors to be corrected. If you
