To my mind, all of the negative comments (dull, inappropriate) about Public Toilets apply to this category, and none of the positive ones (usefulness, architecturally interesting). you may not exclaim ''Wow!'', but perhaps you or someone else might find the waymarks in this category useful in some way. I suppose someone could conceivably find ...

In peer review: http://www.waymarking.com/cat/peer_review_vote.aspx?f=1&guid=213d5c05-b55f-4d17-b1b5-6e113ad25e15 Am I missing something here?  Is there something rare or interesting about these in the US. Maybe a ''cultural thing'' that I'm missing.   Here in the UK they are ubiquitous, mundane, often dirty, and sometimes ...

Go for it. You've clearly thought it through. I'm not opposed. Not terribly excited, but not opposed. I'd submit any really interesting or historically significant ones I came across but I don't think I'd follow the utilitarian spirit of submitting lots of them. You've got me wondering whether to propose ''converted public toilets'' ... nah ...

Outhouses isn't a superset of this. Outhouses is for a very small subset - ie unplumbed ''old fashioned'' (whatever that means) toilets, and does not stipulate ''public''. It also has some rather bizarre requirements and incomprehensible language - but that's beside the point. A category as described above, for public toilets that exculdes ...

I think it's now MUCH improved.  As someone above has said - thanks for bringing it to the forums. I think you may get some really fascinating waymarks  Unfortunately I think you will probably get some not-so-interesting ones too, but hey, you can't have everything!

I like the idea.  It was suggested a while ago, but never got as far as a category proposal You might find some interesting discussion in this thread: http://portal.groundspeak.com/forums/thread/13315.aspx

Redneck Parrotheads: So then how is it different from Preserved Remnants and Ruins? ;) Preserved remnants are a specifically constructed display, and ruins (in the context of that cat) are specifically preserved ruins.  So if you trip over an old homestead or fall down a well then these are probably not preserved. I'm not anti this new ...

I'm not sure how this differs from Ghost Towns.  Am I missing something? 

Interesting to consider who the indigenous people of the British Isles might be.  We've had Celts, Picts, Gaels, Romans, Danes and miscellaneous Vikings, Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Normans (basically Viking via France) ... (And that's just off the top of my relatively ignorant head)

That's a really good idea, and I'm thinking about waymarks already. Here in the UK there are lots of detailed lists of the top hills/mountains and figuring out the tallest in various 100 mile circles could be a nice little project for a rainy day. Would you ask for online evidence to back up the claim? Or would you allow a ''challenge'' eg, ...

Redneck Parrotheads: feel the way that I do. I don't think we need to update Birdwatching Locations. We don't exclude birding trails, but I presume that a category solely devoted to trails would have to establish different requirements than the ones Birdwatching Locations has. Birdwatching Locations handles aviaries, entire parks, and trails

Redneck Parrotheads:I'm digging a Birding Trails cat because I think those are marked differently than how Birdwatching Locations waymarks are marked. It creates a different experience. I'm glad you posted that, I was about to make a rather pompous post about it being redundant, as we already have ''birdwatching locations''.  Cat would ...

Here's an interesting ''equine utility''.  It's not strictly a milestone, but it was so interesting I bent the category rules to accept it. http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM3M5E_Take_Off_Stone_and_Ring_Rock_Beardon_North_Dartmoor
