Not so many:

FIRST of its kind

KFC—Colonel (no idea how a vegie became a colonel?)

However, I do tend to drop off the grid for a few days, a week, at a time, while travelling in the back blocks of SEA.

I've just been promoted to my first officer role. Is there any wiki, what I'm able to do and in which situation?

I mean initiation of voting, discussion about category etc. The basic thing I managed successfuly - publish of my first waymark :rolleyes:

No wiki I'm aware of. As usual in WM, it depends on the category - last time when I promoted a new officer to Czech Geodetic Points, I sent him a summary of "best practices" like:

 

- don't approve your own waymarks, let them be approved by other officer

- one specific type of geodetic points has to go through an officer vote

- what to check: if the region is correct, if the coordinates matches the map and description at the Czech Geodetic Survey site, and if there is a required detail photo of the point

 

Apply that to your category :)

As a leader of a category, and officer in others, I'd say don't be afraid to ask the category leader if you have any questions.

 

If you're not sure don't be afraid of putting a waypoint to the vote.

(I've done it in another category, with the comment "I'm happy with this, apart from ...." and then see what the others say )

 

DON'T accept your own waymarks! (I have had to chivvy the other officers to accept/deny one of mine!)
