Hello, just visited the group page and hope it served its purpose. Have a nice weekend ?

Yes, of course. In Northern Germany I wrote to a geocacher with the request to take the necessary photos for me.

Thank you for your offer. I'm in no hurry. At the moment I have a request in Germany. It would be nice if somebody would make it someday.

Hello, have just become aware of this catgory through the forum. My coordinates would be: kaschper69 5272473769 > 52°72.473769 > 53°12.473(769) If I understood it correctly, would I now have to hope for a player who is near the 53rd latitude or longitude at 53° 12.473? My own coordinates are in the range N50° 23.2 E007° 21.0.

Thanks for your feedback! I'm curious to see if there really will be any support. So we have to stand in the back again Answer from HQ: "Hello kaschper69- Thank you for contacting us about Waymarking. In order to support the rapid community growth of Geocaching.com, it was necessary to shift dedicated resources from Waymarking to Geocaching. Unfortunately, at this time we are only able to provide limited support."

Hello, I know that through the existing categories certain categories are advertised through our waymarks. But since a few days there are more and more submissions of waymarks from users, who apparently want to use this platform for their own company for advertising purposes, without following any posting instructions. So far I have noticed it in the category "Advertising Columns" and "Thrift Stores". All users have a zero statistics regarding their posts and visits. It's a bit annoying if you take the time to control the waymark and then find out that you could have spent the time better. In the "Advertising Columns" category we block the submitted waymarks immediately, because otherwise they will be re-submitted immediately without meeting the requirements in the least. What is your experience in this respect? How do you react to such submissions? What else would make sense? Greetings Greetings Frank Examples: WM11ANR, WM11ANH, WM11AC8

While browsing through the latest Waymarking groups I came across these: "Rogues of Waymarking" ?! Is Waymarking in a state of change or have I missed anything else?

Unfortunately I missed the start of the discussion in the forum completely, but fortunately I became aware of this interesting category by listing the newest groups. I have now read through the thread and find the topic very exciting. According to Wikipedia, there are many chronograms, but the description "only" refers to the pure and natural chronograms. What about the consideration of an unclean chronogram? Which is also not yet quite clear to me: Among the "Roman numerals" is also the letter Y (Y = I + I) and W (W = V+V). Why is the Y and the W then not taken into account in the examples from the description or would this otherwise be considered an unclean chronogram? Frank

Thanks Keith! I also have to say that this blue fits better. Can this icon be uploaded to our category Wayfrog? Many Thanks!

We have updated the description regarding the doves, symbolizing the Holy Spirit. In the future, no doves of this kind will be accepted by us any more and those already accepted in the past were subsequently rejected by us as well. I apologize for the inconvenience and hope for your understanding. We are really still at the beginning. Thank you.

Great work, thank you. I would prefer the icon with a blue background because it also represents two allowed peace doves.

First of all, sorry for the belated answer. I was in the last few days on the run from Halloween and the notifications in the forum work for me, unfortunately, not always right. Regarding the Holy Spirit, we will discuss the subject again in our group. In the WM unlocked by me, I could see from the description of a connection. However, I must also say that this could increase the number of doved disproportionately. Therefore, up to the time of our final decision, I really only ask for the dives that are permitted according to the description. Thank you for your feedback and objections, that's the only way we can learn.

Hello, I had just looked at the statistics concerning the distribution of the waymarks per country and region and was amazed that Germany suddenly has 17 federal states Rhode Island has made it to Germany with a Waymark, but is also assigned to the USA with currently 1,447 Waymarks. Is this a fault in the system or was there a wrong assignment made when a Waymark was created?

Thank you for noting, it was successful!

I had been given a rejection at "Etched in Stone" last time with the note "Etched in Stone is for a memorable quotes etched in stone." I can not imagine that this text is a memorable quote. Perhaps you could still place it under "Unusual Signs"? Because, who really believes in such a thing?

Does anyone have an idea for a suitable category? Is it some kind of art or can it be published under the abstract public sculptures? The bicycles are in a allotment.

Follow the link or sea below: Description: The dove is considered a symbol of peace. The Dove of Peace has both religious symbolism and political symbolism in peace movements in the world. Expanded Description: In today's world in which violence and war are spreading on our planet, the desire for world peace is growing and peace movements are flourishing. The Peace Dove expresses the hope, desire and demand for international understanding and peace between people, countries, and cultures. The dove is also an important Biblical symbol. In the story of the Great Flood, an angry God instructed Noah to build an Ark and take male and female pairs of animals and “righteous men and women” aboard. When the Ark was complete, God sent a great flood that drowned all other humans and animals -- an act of complete destruction before re-creation. As the Ark floated on the sea, Noah released a dove from the Ark to search for land. The dove returned to the Ark with a fresh olive branch, proof of dry land. The return of the dove with the olive branch is therefore interpreted as a symbol of God making peace with man, after God promised not to send another flood or catyclism against his people. (Gen 8,11 EU) Ever since, the Dove of Peace has been a part of human culture, as this story exists in some form in all the major monotheistic religions of the world. In 1955 Pablo Picasso received the World Peace Prize for his silhouette drawing of a Dove of Peace, by then a symbol of peace and peace movements across the world. Here are 88 examples distributed across the globe. What we are looking for: - Permanent locations of peace doves with olive branches, because they represent the essence of peace. - Permanent locations of peace doves related to peace movements (white dove on blue background) - Permanent locations of peace doves without olive branches, but with some clear connection to concepts of peace. For example: a white dove at a church named "Peace Church", or a sculpture of a dove with a sign or online of its association with peace or a peace movement. The images of the peace doves must be permanent and in fixed locations (buildings, monuments, firmly anchored signs, etc.). Non-permanent peace doves (on protest signs for example) or stamps with the symbol of the peace dove would not be accepted. Doves released at events are also not allowed. Only one dove of peace is allowed per waymarked object. If many doves of peace occur in one site, they must be grouped together into one waymark. For example: Peace Doves of Sacred Heart Cathedral, Houston TX , or Peace Doves of Thanksgiving Square, Dallas TX. Instructions for Posting a Doves of peace Waymark: - The Coordinates must be obtained by a personal visit to the site and should be taken at the dove. - At least two photos for a new Waymark are required. One photo should be a close-up, with the details (such as the olive branch) clearly visible. The second photo should show the dove in its surroundings. A photo of an information sign about the dove would be welcomed, but is not required. - Please describe the shape of the dove and which kind of dove it is (with or without olive branch, etc.). Explain any special or unique significance of this dove. - Please include the materials used in this dove, and the name of any artist (if known). - A long description of at least three sentences is required. - Naming format: Name of the place or thing – City, State/Province, Country. - We recognize Waymarking is a global hobby and welcome waymarks from all countries. We encourage bilingual and multilingual waymarks. However, all Waymarks must have an English translation in each section. Examples of acceptable and unacceptable doves of peace Dove of peace with olive branch, acceptable. Dove (without olive branches), but the aspect of peace is demonstrable, acceptable Dove without further information, unacceptable Dove without blue background and further information, unacceptable Instructions for Visiting a Waymark in this Category: - The Waymarks coordinates must have been visited personally. - A self-made picture of the Peace Dove has to be added to your log. - Tell us something about your visit to the Peace Dove.

A great "thank you" for your work, Benchmark blasterz! I'm excited

As an officer in this category I would also prefer the second suggestion with the signal frog, it also best represents the cylindrical shape, wich is required.

Thank you for your offer, which I would like to accept. Permission granted.

Unfortunately we could not win any native speakers as officers for our group. That's the reason why we have given the text to one of our officer-known Australian persons for correct reading. We have implemented these changes and the text makes sense for us. The write error "furhter" has already been corrected in the description, and a space has been inserted between Hereare. It would be nice, if you could tell us the things, which must be corrected in your opinion and maybe you could give us alternative suggestions. Many Thanks.

Description: The dove is considered as a symbol of peace. This has, on the one hand, a religious background, but on the other hand also a great importance to the peace movements in the world. Expanded Description: In today's world, in which more and more violence and war are prevailing on our planet, the desire for more world peace is becoming even greater. The peace dove is therefore a sign. In addition to the CND symbol, the rainbow, the Olympic fire or for example the Victory sign, the symbol of the peace dove belongs to the peace signs and is intended to express the desire and the demand for international understanding and peace. The dove also plays an important role in the Bible. In the story of the Flood, a dove, coming from Noah, returned with a fresh olive branch from her journey to the ark. The Flood narrative explains God's declaration of war on men and creation, since the earth is full of violence. The return of the dove with the olive branch is therefore interpreted as a Symbol of peace. (Gen 8,11 EU) For the designed silhouette of a dove, Pablo Picasso received the World Peace Prize in 1955. This was signifier of the peace dove being a global symbol of peace and the peace movement. As furhter evidence that the peace dove is also a worldwide symbol of peace, you can Access the following link. Hereare 88 examples distributed across the globe. What we are looking for: - Peace doves with olive branches, because they represent the essence of peace. - Doves related to peace movements (white dove on blue background) - Doves (without olive branches), but the aspect of peace is demonstrable. (for example, a white dove at a church that has the name "Peace Church"), or by means of documentation on the spot or by means of proof in the network. The images of the peace doves must be permanent and in fixed locations (buildings, monuments, firmly anchored signs, etc.), so stamps with the symbol of the peace dove would be eliminated. White wedding doves are also not allowed. Only one dove of peace is allowed per object (building, monument, shield, etc.), since in churches, for example, an increased representation of these doves can occur.

Hello, since now a few weeks have passed since the last statement, we have once again taken up the so-called pro / contra with the peace doves and included in our description. Here is the link. What's your opinion? Thank's and have a nice week.

I also do not like distance rules, because for me, the objects of the individual categories are all equivalent. Whether it is 2 or 10 in a certain radius. For this purpose other areas are completely excluded in certain categories. When we talk about the fact that the doves are usually part of a something bigger, I agree with you, for example, in the already mentioned churches. But there are so many categories that are also available in the churches (Town clocks, Belltowers, Signs of History, Doorways of the World, Trigonometric Points, etc.) and have also made it into an independent category. The dove of peace in general already has a story to tell. It is regarded as a symbol of peace, and thus stands for people's desire for peace and a friendly coexistence without war or violence. And that is something important for me. What, for example, has the category "Pikachu Sightings" for a special background?

That is why we are discussing the topic here. Perhaps an alternative would bei to only accept the peace doves, which, like PISA-caching has written the olive branch in the beak. So my example pictures divorced directly, but what is it. Maybe other players also have alternatives to offer.
