By the way... I remember there is a category for those machines which "coin" a medal of a specific touristic attraction but can't remember its name... anyone knows it by heart?

You mean "Penny Smashers"?

You could try Civil Rights Memorials category

Political Revolutions might be made to fit, though there's certainly no guarantee of that. Beyond Civil Rights Memorials, it's the only thing I see which comes close to a fit.

I see no fitting in Civil Rights. I know the category and its categorization of civil rights. Race, gender, religious, etc... but nothing which can relate with these things like victims of the State. And there was no Revolution in Argentina, neither were these fellows casualties of a revolution, so I don't see it happening there either. Eventually this should be a category on its own... there are references in multiple countries to victims of the State. Most of Latin America countries, Portugal, Spain, Greece, many Arabic speaking countries and African countries....

Of course it fits in Civil rights, when you fight against a dictature, it's often to have more rights, you could at least try....

From the category's rules:

 

1. The post must relate to one of the following Civil Rights:
   • Age
   • Class equality
   • Disability
   • Gender equality (women's suffrage)
   • National Origin
   • Race (the U.S. Civil Rights movement fits here)
   • Religion
   • Sexual Orientation

 

So, it doesn't fit, right?

Why don't you try ?

[+sernikk]

I'm not sure in which category I should put this in.

There is a Jewish cemetery in my neighbourhood. It was used from 1904 to 1941. There are no funerals here since ca. 1945.

It is not abandoned, because there is a person taking care of the whole old complex. So it's not fitting in "abandoned cemeteries"

You can see some part of the cemetery, because of the low situated wall. But it's also not open to public. You can't enter there just like that, you would have to talk to the keeper. So i don't really think it fits into "cemeteries worldwide".

There are some graves with no names, but many of them are visible, so it's not exactly "graves of the unknown".

 

I can't fit it in any category so it would meet the standards of it, but this is an important place on the map of my small city. What do you think?

[+PISA-caching]

I don't see anything that excludes it from "Worldwide Cemeteries". See for example the also closed cemetery: https://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/wmHKW1

Fighting for a Civil Right is an activity, that may be honored with a memorial.

 

Of course, those activists will be fought and suppressed in a dictatorship. But also their friends and families and countless other people that just happen to be in at the wrong place at the wrong time. Or for owning that plot on the lake, that the nephew of the general would like to have e.g. Or belonging to the wrong minority (even without fighting for a change).

 

A memorial for victims of a dictatorship has absolutely no connection to any civil rights movement, unless the memorial explitly states that they are victims because of one of the reasons that category is dedicated to.

Man-made waves, do we have a category for such places? Eisbach-Surfer-Welle - München, Bavaria, Germany - Wavy Places on Waymarking.com Looks like Wavy Places isn't the right category.  "Ocean waves rolling in on a coastal shoreline".

Thanks Bear and Ragged but I try to waymark things in their best fitting categories and I avoid cross postings at the moment (too little time). That's why I asked, I found huts in all of the three mentioned categories above.

Remote Backcountry Shelters is the best fit. It already has some entries of this type, although the majority is totally different. It has a large bandwith.

 

I am not an officer in any of those categories, but if I was, I would deny a submission in the Chalet... category and unhappily but still accept in the Lodge-Style category.

 

Hostels would also kinda fit.

 

[+sernikk]

I recently run into this kind of memorial:

 

which was placed on the 100th anniversary of regaining independence by Poland.

Is there currently any category where this would fit? I'm surprised that there is a category like "spirit of '76" dedicated only for the USA (specific and not global), but there is nothing about independence overall.

The text on this commemorative plaque (attached to a street lantern) in Ohrid, North Macedonia is:

On this spot the Austrian Army erected the first electric street lantern in 1916.

'100 years electric light in Ohrid!'

Sponsored by: EVN Macedonia / The City of Ohrid / Austrian Embassy / Lions Club Lychnidos

 

Now I wonder what the best categories are for this plaque. Several come to mind: 'Lions Clubs International Markers', 'First of its Kind', 'Signs of History' (probably not), 'Commercial Commemorations' or is there one that I missed, but fits much better?

I've recently run into an art installation of a train:

 

I'm not sure it is abstract enough to fit into the Abstract Public Sculptures category and I don't know where to finally fit it. Could anyone give me a hand?

[+PISA-caching]

I guess that there is no good category for this one, but I wanted to share: If you go to the headline "Architecture and gardening" on the page https://aplacetoenjoy.com/our-adventures/ohrid-north-macedonia/ you will find the house of Krapche. This house was the model for the street lamps in the old part of Ohrid (North Macedonia) and I find that amazing. Our guide told us that, at the time the house was built, houseowners had to pay taxes according to the size of their house. So, they made a small basement to avoid taxes and made bigger floors above it to have more space within the house. Interesting, no?

[+fi67]

Official Local Tourist Attractions?

[+PISA-caching]

Unfortunately I can't find that house on any official list with the sights of Ohrid. I thought about Odd-Shaped Buildings, but is it odd enough? At first I thought "no", but then I found https://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/wm1246J. Maybe I will try that category.

Need help. What category for these? I found about two dozen on the outside walls of a high school.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I would try the "Relief Art Sculptures" category. If they say no, try frieze.

[+ScroogieII]

Frieze Art is a go, for sure. Relief, possibly, possibly not. I think that, were I an officer in Relief Art Sculptures, I would deny it for its three dimensional form and because it would be accepted in Frieze Art, at least giving it one place to rest. I believe this to be the first contemporary Frieze Art I've seen.

 

The second one definitely needs a home. Figurative, because of the face mask, Relief, for the style.

Beyond that, all I can say is that it definitely needs a home!

EDIT: reading the Relief Art requirements tells me this is a shoe-in there:

"The relief MUST be a stand-alone piece of art ... ...  Relief Art can be defined as the carving or sculpting of an otherwise flat surface to create a design or feature. Included within the realms of Relief Art Sculpture are; bas relief, high relief and sunken. This category aims to catalog relief art sculpture of all forms."

I just published it in Frieze. Looks good. 

[+Alfouine]

It's just not a frieze and i would approve them in Relief art category, but if it's already approved in Frieze art category, it's not possible to approve them anymore in Relief art category.

(Note: Reliefs that form part of an object that falls into another category are no longer accepted).

Hi.

One reviewer denied me posting a submarine in "landocked boats" because It sometimes made trips. So I ask if anyone knows what category the attraction of taking a submarine ride might fall into.

Thank you.

First you'll have the obvious one, Official Local Tourism Attractions.

As well, it appears that your submarine should be acceptable in Scenic Boat Rides.

Indeed, tanatorio translates to morgue. A bit more information on the site would be hepful.

There's the Funeral Homes category, as well as Lychgates and Depositories, but that last seems unlikely.

I am requesting the help of other waymarkers:

 

In a town in Brabant I came across a little house and found a sign that it is a communal freezer safe. This was built in 1960 before everyone had a freezer at home. You could become a member and then rent a freezer box. The boxes are inside a machine which rotates to allow access to the boxes. The sign states that it is one of the last active freezer safes in the Netherlands. Unfortunately, in the next village over there is also a working freezer safe so I can't use 'last of its kind'. I've tried household appilances to no avail. Can I post it in any of the Waymarking categories?
