  • Re: Pedestrian Underpasses

    Someone finds them interesting enough to waymark, I guess. My question is: why just underpasses under roads?&nbsp; why no overpasses?&nbsp; or under/overpasses around other things (railroads, bodies of water...) I posted that they should bring the idea to the forums, I'm sure others said the same thing in their votes.&nbsp; I hope they do so we ...

  • Re: Waymarking Release Notes 10/29/2009

    saopaulo1:I thought titles were locked from editing by other waymarkers. I hope it doesn't turn into some edit wars. &nbsp; Actually, I'm glad titles can be changed too.&nbsp; I know of one waymarked statue that was identified as the wrong person!&nbsp; Despite e-mailing the owner and the category and providing resources stating who the ...

  • Re: ISS - Thu Oct 29 morning

    I'd love to! I'm in central NC.&nbsp; I'm showing a max altitude of 78 deg at 06:58:35 on the 29th.&nbsp; Are we far enough apart?&nbsp; It's been a while since I looked at the category but I remember something about 1 minute of travel time, I think. As a back-up, if the weather's clear, I'm showing it again on the 31st 06:09:41 at 79 deg ...

  • Re: How?

    I always think of it boiling down this way:&nbsp; In Geocaching, people place containers at places they find interesting in order to share the place with others. (some Geocachers really enjoy highway guardrails...etc. but we'll let that slide)&nbsp; In Waymarking, people make waymark pages to highlight things that are interesting in order to share ...

  • Re: Tallest Within A Hundred Miles

    Good enough for me.&nbsp; I like the idea, I'm just having trouble completely wrapping my head around keeping it separate from superlatives.&nbsp; With a little clarification of what ''tallest'' requires for this cat in the description (like what you've put here about it not actually being the tallest something, just being the tallest ...

  • Re: Tallest Within A Hundred Miles

    Would this have too much overlap with the superlative category?&nbsp; It's been a while since I looked at that category, but can't tallest things be placed there?

  • Re: Plagiarizing

    globetrotters.us: TheBeanTeam:br&gt;And what is MLA format? Globetrotters.us can you give an example of what you are thinking of for a variable. I think it is a good idea but wonder how it might be applied. My books are packed, so I may be a little off. MLA is the standard that college students are taught to use to cite their sources in ...

    You may want to check your local outdoor supply/sporting good stores too.&nbsp; Some have rental programs that aren't well advertised.&nbsp; You may be able to rent a few GPSrs for a weekend.&nbsp;

  • Re: New category idea - Voted best of town

    Here in NC, some towns do this, and other regions do this.&nbsp; So instead of ''Best of Raleigh'' you get ''Best of the Triangle'', which is what that area is called.&nbsp; I don't know yet how I feel about this for Waymarking though.&nbsp; What these places are voted the best of seems pretty widespread.&nbsp; My good friend works at what was ...

  • Re: Problem Recieving Email about Acceptance or Rejection of my Waymarks

    It may not have been reviewed yet.&nbsp; Check your ''my waymarks'' tab to see if they show up there as approved or rejected.The e-mails may also just be going to your spam folder.I use yahoo mail and every now and then it decides that waymarking is spam, and I have to remind it that it's not.

  • Re: Category Proposal: Typos

    There's a local gas station here with signs on each pump declaring that ''these pumps do not except debit cards'' right there by the number pad and the card swipe.&nbsp; The station owners could not figure out why people kept trying to use a debit card and punch a pin number.&nbsp; I think a grammatical ignorance category could be fun.

    Sharptail:I rotated the photos in my Mac photo program first. That failing, I rotated them in Photoshop Elements. That failed too.If you're using iPhoto, make sure you're uploading from the file it re-saves as, and not the original file, that should include your changes.

    Yes, it's been discussed before.&nbsp; You can find that thread here.They are waymarkable in the Motorcycle Sales and Service category.

  • Re: New Category 'Great Motorcycle Routes'.

    I had some of the same thoughts as touchstone when reading the category.&nbsp; I've only ridden a motorcycle for seven and a half years, so I've not logged near as many hours as many of you, but I wouldn't really know where to begin in waymarking for this category as written. I know it's a little abstract, and hard to pin dow, examples of ...

  • Re: A request to all categories old and new (and future)...

    I really don't understand why one would need the street address for a waymark at all.&nbsp; I like when the box is optional, I don't usually add the address, not because I'm lazy, but because I think it's redundant and a little silly.&nbsp; And if it's going to be required, the text box is much nicer than the individual fields.This is a GPS game, ...

Unfortunately, no.&nbsp; I could estimate but I'm not really comfortable with that, I know what side of what road I was on and the approximate location, but I didn't have ...

  • Re: Odometer 100000's

    Motorcycles don't, or at least mine doesn't, have space on the odometer for 100,000 miles.&nbsp; They're not designed to last that long I guess.&nbsp; 100,000 miles would look the same as 0 miles on my Honda.I was excited enough when my bike hit 10,000 miles last year to pull over and take this handy cell phone camera photo.&nbsp; Lovely day in ...

    BruceS: JJG10101:Count me among the many supporters of this new category. One question, though: I read the description, and didn't see anything about the percentage of the animal that needs to be at the ''kill'' site. There's about 40% of a skunk on a street near my house. Is that enough?You better hurry and get that one, I understand that 40% of ...

  • Re: Gauging opinions - Bell Towers

    I like it!Let's be sure that the bell tower has real bells!&nbsp; My church has a tower, with music that comes out that sounds exactly like real bells, but it's a computer.&nbsp; This tower is built in such a way that you can't see in the tower to verify its bells.&nbsp; Maybe another source of verification should be used if a visual isn't possible

    I like the idea of this category, I bet you'll get a few that are more interesting than you'd expect...The field my high school plays on is owned by the city, so if you limit it to only fields owned by schools I won't get to tell you the funny story about how the lights caused one game last season to be played on a Monday instead of Friday
