Sorry for the late answer, but: If you have some documentation of the superlative (largest single stop Licorice Shop), Superlatives - A Waymarking.com Category might be another category that fits.

You can have both from me (and very likely the majority of the waymarkers). One of the reasons why the forums are a good idea is, because waymarkers from around the world have a lot of expertise about local conditions. What is prevelant in which country? Are there special laws that might cause a problem? Etc. Once you have revised the description, let us know in the forums and we will give feedback for the perfection of it. Andreas (Vienna, Austria)

People like that are slowly ruining our hobby. :-(

You're welcome. Unfortunately I spent only a short time in Moldova. Otherwise I would have been able to create many more, but your city offers enough interesting sights to create more waymark, IF you should ever decide to create your own.

Funny, I have never tried THAT before, but you're right. The "excludes" are ignored.

Ok, thanks for the information. So, the sentence "Named mountain 'Passes' do not qualify for this category." in the category description is simply to be ignored?

Don't know, if this has been reported already: When I search for something in all categories, everything is fine, f.e. www.Waymarking.com/wm/search.aspx?f=1&wst=9&kw=Lake&st=2. But if I search while I'm in a specific category, I find nothing, f.e. www.Waymarking.com/cat/details.aspx?f=1&guid=762b423f-4bf2-464f-9e22-e479d3bfea91&wst=9&kw=Lake&st=2

I'm back from Spain/Andorra and started to post a few visits. While searching for WM that I saw in the last couple of days I stumbled over https://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/wmYZTR in the category Named Mountain Gaps. I have neither posted a visit or created a new WM in that category, so I read the description, which says: "[...] Only submissions of official "Gaps" (as indicated on topographical maps) will be accepted. Named mountain "Passes" do not qualify for this category. [...]". But in the category I find a lot of "Passes" and not all of them have been approved by wayfrog (who might be less strict when approving hundreds of WM in various categories). So, I have some questions: What exactly is the difference between a "Gap" and a "Pass"? My guess is, that a "Gap" is between two named mountains, while a "Pass" is a way/street over ONE named mountain. Right? Are "Passes" ok now, although the category description says no? The category description also mentions: "[...] All submissions will be verified via topzone or similiar website. [...]", but I can't find a "topzone" website. Does it still exist (what is the URL then?) or are there other websites, where I can check if I can find what I want to post in the future?

Unfortunately I have a different opinion. In principle I would agree with you, but in this particular case it was decided by an interim president to build a monument. But the Constitutional Court later ruled that the decision was unconstitutional - whatever that means. Apparently people in the Republic of Moldova cannot agree on whether the monument should be erected now or the placeholder monument should be removed. So, in a way, it is a perfect monument to remember the freedom fighters, because as you can see, Moldova is still not 100% free from Russian influences.

Meanwhile the waymark was accepted.

Right now I'm creating many waymarks in Moldova. In my research I found something, that I haven't seen so far: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monument_to_the_Victims_of_the_Soviet_Occupation says that this is a "Proposed Monument". There is a stone with an inscription saying that a "monument will be built in this place". However, I (personally) would judge that stone to be a monument already. I plan to post it to the "Monuments of the Eastern Freedomfights" category and am curious, if they will accept it. So, I don't really have a question about it, but thought that I should share that with you. Have you ever seen something similar?

Hi Don, You helped me with your extensive knowledge regarding Medal of Honor recipients to create https://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/wm11ey6 in Montenegro. I will be eternally grateful for that, because it was an unforgettable experience for me to forgo the upcoming sightseeing tour of Kotor during a guided bus tour and instead take a cab a few kilometers to this cemetery. I admire you for your dedication and wish you all the best, health and happiness for the future. Andreas

Can you give an example (coordinates) where 1/4 of the waymarks are no longer there?

Tiny correction: Look for "Republic of Moldova" , but I agree to everything else you wrote. Right now, I'm pretty busy at work because all my other colleagues are on holiday, but I will (hopefully) give it another try soon. I can understand all of the above arguments (pro & contra), and I'm very confident, that there is some memorabilia about the few Olympic medal winners and other athletes of Moldova in the house of their National Olympic Committee. It's just that I didn't enter the building and take photos of them and therefore have no proof for my theory.

That reminds me of our visit to Paris many years ago. One day before we wanted to return home by train, we heard that they are on strike. There was ONE guy from the Railway company in the train station to give information about the trains that would go or not go. We (and a whole bunch of other people) asked him and he browsed through a pile of paper(!) and finally said: "No, it will not go. Please go to the ticket counter and ask for a ticket for a train that will go". So, we went to the counter and told them that we wanted to take the train x and now need a ticket for another train, because x will not go. And this guy did a quick search in his computer and finally said: "Nooooo, your train WILL go! Believe me! Don't trust our colleague at the info stand". The next day we arrived at the station with a queasy feeling, but fortunately our train was there. :-)

You might be surprised, but I'm only human and make typos every now and then.

Well, "Monopterus" was new for me too , but I wanted a different title than "Round gazebo?" or something like that. So, I visited Wikipedia and on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gazebo I learned that "Monopterus" is one of the "Gazebo-like structures" and looks exactly what I had photographed. Interestingly, the fourth photo in the gallery of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gazebo is completely round with walls and called "gazebo" nonetheless: Barrington IL Gazebo 1 - Gazebo - Wikipedia. BTW: In German it's also "Monopteros" and the German plural is "die Monopteren". And in English the plural seems to be "monopteroi". See monopteros - Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

One of the hearts is from me. To be very honest, I didn't know what to answer. You created hundreds of WMs and visited thousands and I can see that you made 42 posts in the forums. I don't know, if you are also officer in one of the categories, but either way: You are one of the waymarkers who deserve thanks. So I return the "Thank you" and hope that you will provide more interesting WMs in the future.

My WM was declined. The officer said that there is no evidence, that there is some kind of memorabilia there. The owner was sent a question about my WM, but didn't answer. Although I'm pretty sure, that there will be some kind of memorabilia in the building (the Olympic Committee is still there and I'm pretty sure that they are very proud about their rare medal wins and athletes), but I have no proof and I totally understand the decision.

Accepted WM in the Gazebos category: https://Waymarking.com/waymarks/wm18MD0 Thanks a lot.

I also thought that they would fit in the Gazebos category, but IF they were accepted there, I would have expected to find more of them in the category. But in the meantime I found other round Gazebos that didn't have the word "monopteros" in the description, which is why I found just one in the first search. Anyway, thanks to the officers for accepting them. I'm perfectly fine with the Gazebos category.

Ups, sorry, I wanted to add exactly that link, because I didn't know the term either, but forgot.

Lately I took photos of a beautiful monopteros (see photo below), but there seems to be no category for them. . In the Gazebos category I just found one WM from 2018 with a Monopteros and the category description says "octagonal or hexagonal". So, the question is: Will they also accept a Monopteros or do we need/want a separate category for them?

Thanks a lot, I will give it a try.
