Bear and Ragged

Occasionally a submitted Waymark can fall in to the' grey area' of is it/is it not accepted. As an officer, if the Waymarker can provide the requested photos, and a good written description I'm happy to accept - or at least put it to the vote with fellow officers saying why I think it's an acceptable Waymark. Put in the work, and you stand a good chance of it being accepted. Congratulations on getting it accepted!

Accepted. By one of the other officers, before I'd even seen it! (Very nice write-up. Wish a few others would/could put in the effort.)

As an officer in 'Exact Replicas' given a good story as to why it ISN'T an exact replica tempts me to accept it... If it was built as a replica to what they thought at the time... I'm tempted to accept it. From Instructions for posting "The proper definition of replica is a copy made by the person who made the original although it is now commonly used to refer to any copy. In this case any "copy" will suffice as long as it is an exact copy of the original." Or, have you been in contact with the category leader, who has said "No"? https://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/wm15TTW_Braintree_Railway_Station_Braintree_Essex_UK "Exact" I dont think so!

I like to know the size/capacity of the container - can I leave a TB? If additional camo is involved, it's nice to know. (Not what or how, or even HAVE to say, just nice to know!)

Either contact the other officers. Or, as you are an officer in the group consider promoting one of the other members of the group. If the category isn't Open to new members open it! Providing the Leader hasn't set it so they are the only one with that option...

The downside of Waymarking. We have our favourite categories that we Waymark when away from home, when found. I've Waymarked things, and found they have already been Waymarked by another... Will always log a 'Visit' and make a comment if anything has changed, or I notice something connected with the Waymark.

One of the category officers might be able to help... Especially as I accepted one of them. (Shame to lose it. Is there anything still on the site? Remains/notice boards etc) Edt to add. Can you have a Former former...

"Owner Maintenance Done" Otherwise it could be "Someone has found it, all OK" Or "A friend passing by has looked at the cache"

Agree. Also, where a physical cache is under the control of the CO - maintenance is the CO's responsibility, and can be carried out when needed - Web cams are often under someone else's control... And less easy for the CO to control. However, deleting bogus logs IS under the CO's control.

Another thought... Competition venue. Stadium/pool/track. where events take place. Non-competition venue. example, where the competitors train or accomodation used when not competing... Or stewards/judges etc meet to debate the competition.

Check why it was archived. If it keeps getting muggled, that's a good reason not to place a new cache there!

Also non/expired Premium as a category leader? Seem to be stuck with a non/expired member as leader.

Use the coordinates you have worked out with a GPS device. (Especially if you've rechecked them!) I don't trust maps to be 'accurate' especially if it's satellite imagery posted over the map itself.

Superior Welcome Centre https://coord.info/GCAB60N 40 finds and 1 DNF? 4 fav points? Or do you have another cache?

ANY log written on your cache hide will generate an email to you. They should also show on the cache page.

Had to look up Monopteros in Wiki! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopteros Another source: https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Monopteros Worth Waymarking, one way or another!

Yes. I've had a few post boxes (mail box for posting letters) accepted. In the UK the Royal Mail painted a Post Box Gold to celebrate 'local' Olympic medal winners. Think its covered by the (my) bolded part of their description:

Dont be fooled by the name! Provide the correct photos and a decent write-up, it stands a good chance of being accepted. (Check out some of the accepted Waymarks in the category.) eta (I am an officer for the category)

Any info on the original? https://www.Waymarking.com/cat/details.aspx?f=1&guid=f59a7a20-2c6d-4b2b-8144-55c380702733&gid=6 Exact Replicas category

Given Google Street View (and others) and the availability on-line of images of the more popular tourist haunts, I feel this is more 'When' rather than 'If' it will happen.

Two photos (or even one!) can lead to Waymarks having photos taken from other sources, eg Google or off the internet. The more photos you take and include in the Waymark can help to prove you were there, and took the photos.

That's a shame. You seem prepared to learn, you ask questions, and - most- here and on Waymarking are willing to help you.

Read the "Instructions for Posting" a Waymark. Look at, and read the descriptions in other accepted Waymarks in the category. Do more than the bare minimum of photographs. Do some research. (Write more than" It's a *thing* in a *place*".) Put in some effort. Oh, sorry, that's too much like hard work.

Dont "follow the arrow" there may be another route in from the side. Cut down plantlife thats in front of/leading to the cache may encourage non-cachers to venture to the cache and put it at risk of theft...

I see the photos as: 1. The machine. (Default picture?) 2. Main Entrance of the attraction. 3. Entrance of the shop. (I would think 'most' of these machines would be in or near to the shop of the attraction - if it's a large attraction) 4. General area of the machine, with the machine in? Get moved at sometime in the future? There is an edit facility, any Waymarker finding the machine has moved can mention in their Visit log, add an edit, or let the Waymark owner know.
