Ok folks, the Marinas Category is about to go for a vote. Does anyone have any heartburns about how it is structured?

saopaulo1:I started a group, but it's been hard to define them. I've also been worried about how widespread they are and do other countries have them. Since you are in California have you thought of changing the one you started to cover just the California Historical Sites like other states have with their markers?

BruceS What I want the intent to be is to cover those that do not have the national coverage. I have added wordage that states that State Parks and National Register of Places are excluded. I have not looked at all of California but many will be included in this category. Since I do not see a category for California Historical Sites like the ...

BruceS:I looked at your example site that you listed.  From the gallery of  photos for the site, I only saw 20-30 potential waymarks.  There was at least one  Texas historical marker, a few different Signs of History, there are also arches,  trailheads, hiking bridges,  I assume there probably is a Civil War memorial ...

BruceS Thanks for the comment. 1. ''small in nature'' is meant to cover most of the submissions. The Texas Historical Society manages many of the ones here in Texas that I am thinking about and they are not exactly small but they cover many of the sites I am targeting. Another example is the Judge Roy Bean visitors center. This is managed by the ...

Again, this group does not include anything that presently has a category. This group is pointed at the cracks between the other categories. the current description is as follows. There are other categories that cover state and national parks and other major places. This group is for those that are small in nature and managed by smaller groups ...

Ok, I have the major blanks filled in on the category. I have pulled up several states up by putting in (state) historical sites and all so far have many to chose from.

I have look at this a bit. I have googled a state name like Arizona Historical Sites and numerous sites that come up with buildings etc that would be prime for this category. I flew a B-24 back to England a few years ago and found that all of the old airbases have historical societies associated with them. I can not believe that there are not ...

Once I have one more officer I will start details. Here in Texas we have a number of Historical Sites that are overseen by the State park system but are not state parks. One of the more famous is the http://www.thc.state.tx.us/museums/musnimitz.shtml National Museum of the Pacific War which is managed by the Texas Historical Society. This surely ...

Having been turned down on several sites that have been designated as ''sites'' and not parks I think there is a niche for this category. Description: There are other categories that cover state parks and other major places. This group is for those that are small in nature and managed by smaller groups such as State or local Historical or ...

The waymark finally got approved.

The Human Error group will not approve my waymark eventhough it meets their requirements 100%. the following is copied from their page. ''Description:Showcasing those times things just didn't go as planned, or when the plan was flawed. Expanded Description: Waymarks in this category represent those times that are best described as a failure. ...

I need at least one additional officer to help me get this going. Thanks to those that can be of assistance. Alan txoilgas
