Thank you!

I am Checkmark

Hi, i'd like to add my Waymarking stats to my geocaching account. Some months ago it worked. Now it's away. Is something wrong with my html-code? <a href='http://www.Waymarking.com/users/profile.aspx?f=1&guid=1b93f039-d2ad-4baa-bdc7-05115219c8bb'><img src='/images/stats.aspx?f=1&guid=1b93f039-d2ad-4baa-bdc7-05115219c8bb' border='0' width='200' height='50'></a> Thanks for helping me, lumbricus

Thanks fi67, now we have to wait...

Well written!

It exists already a Waymarking geocoin http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=1371172, but i think a new one would be great. Not only for the officers, but i thought the officer work could be honored with it. In the most cases waymarkers are officers, too. Regards, lumbricus

Hi, I'm thinking about to create a new geocoin, perhaps for us officers Signal should be on the coin the Waymarking symbol. Ideas are welcome. I'm going out now, perhaps some ideas are coming up All the best, lumbricus

Today i've been in Salzburg, Austria to collect pictures what we will accept and what not: We are looking for the following style: We will not accept signs like the following examples: What do you think? Regards, lumbricus

Bootron, please give me a feedback. Thanks, lumbricus

I've got it. They are called "Zunftzeichen" http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zunftzeichen "Seit dem Mittelalter haben Zunftzeichen dafür gesorgt, dass auch Analphabeten jene Geschäfte und Handwerker finden würden, die sie suchten. Auf gewisse Weise waren Zunftschilder damit die Vorfahren der modernen Werbeschilder und -poster." http://www.visit-salzburg.net/deutsch/fotos/salzburg-zunftzeichen-9.htm --- Since the Middle Ages guild marks have ensured that even illiterate people would find those businesses and artisans, they were seeking. In a way, guild signs were that the ancestors of modern advertising signs and posters. The typ of signs is called "Nasenschild" http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasenschild "The nose sign is a traditional form of advertising. This is an advertising sign which is anchored perpendicular to the wall of a restaurant or a business and as a nose sticking out of the face from the house into the street. It is considered particularly suitable for passersby to call attention to a business. In German-speaking area nose signs were often made by blacksmiths with considerable ambition of iron. On the advertised trade or the offer of a businessman with no text, but with symbols - for example, guild signs - seeking attention. Taverns with traditional names such as "The Deer", "The Bear" or "Zur Post" did also make a visual representation of their name. Also still in the period in which modern enamel signs were nose signs still used as an advertising medium." wikipedia Some examples: http://www.geo-reisecommunity.de/bild/regular/482361/Nasenschild-4.jpg http://www.geo-reisecommunity.de/bild/regular/482363/Nasenschild-2.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/28/W%C3%BCrzburg_-_%22Zum_Stachel%22_%28Nasenschild%29.JPG http://www.mariazellerland-blog.at/wp-content/gallery/zunftzeichen-in-mariazell/zunftzeichen_0931_1.jpg http://www.geo-reisecommunity.de/bild/regular/481160/Wirtschaftsschild.jpg I'm falling in love with these sings...

How about: "Medieval Advertising" (Mittelalterliche Werbung) I searched a bit and they are in France also. So i think we have them in hole Europe. Regards, lumbricus

Morning, i often found these signs (i don't know the word/name for it exactly). They show the kind of work, done in the house. Some are more than 300 years old. (Pharmacy -> Mortar, scale) Examples: Thanks for your help, which Cat is the best for it? lumbricus

Hi elyob, why you're asking? Do you want to edit one, or was a waymark you created edited? Sometimes i edit waymarks, as example some misspellings ore missing quotation marks. Editing is in many cases faster than a decline. If the same user is doing the same mistake again and again, i decline it with the please to correct it. Regards, lumbricus

Hi bpratt, i don't think so. Amber is still active. Regards, lumbricus

I'm still thinking about it... But under the week i have to work

"Instructions for Posting a Tripoints and Multipoints Waymark:" We forgot that pictures are required to post a new waymark. But I'm sure we will add it as soon as possible...

Sounds good!

No, it's not a museum. It's a building near a brewery, opened from 08:00 to 18:00.

Hi, do we have a category for taxidermied animals? I found a great one today. Regards, lumbricus

I like well defined naming conventions, but we have a problem here. Depending on how you define it, we have either none or three correct countries or states. Sorry, it was too early when i wrote this

Well done! We should add the "Naming Convention: Name of Statue - City, State or Country". Regards, lumbricus

"The person the street is named after should have played a role for the town/city" That's the most important thing. Only one waymark for the same street.

Morning, what do you think about the following category idea? Streets named after people Requirements for posting a new Waymark in this category: -The person the street is named after should have played a roll for the town/city. (Often the people are not very important for the Big History, but important for the city or county. So it's not so easy like it seems at first blush. Only collecting pictures of street signs isn't enough. You have to find out why the city named the street like they did.) -Three pictures are needed. One should be the street sign and the two others should show the street. (Whats special for it, or some nice buildings,...) -Coordinates should be taken at the street sign. Examples: 1)In Prien,Bavaria,Germany we have the "Lujo-Brentano-Straße" In the Waymark should be postet first the relationship to the town Prien, after that, some more informations about the person (a.e. wikipedia,...) Geheimrat Prof. Dr. Lujo Brentano 1919 Brentano bought the "Merchant Villa" am Gries in Prien. Even though, the world-renowned economist were offered in several university cities beautiful villas as a gift, he chose the quiet country life. By Lujo von Brenatno and his voluminous correspondence with many scholars of the world Prien was very well known. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lujo_Brentano Not accepted: Martin-Luther-Street, Prien, The street is only named after Martin-Luther because we have a protestant church here. Martin Luther has not been here nor has done something in our town. In the German city "Eisleben" where Luther was born, the street would be accepted. I hope me idea is clear, my first language is German, so please condone my misspellings, All the best, lumbricus

Which category?

I should better write ...our...
