+ScroogieII Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) On 7/6/2021 at 1:06 AM, PISA-caching said: The text says: "On March 19, 1893, the Deutschmeister March by Wilhelm Jurek was played for the first time in the Ober-St. Veiter Casino." Community Commemorations is - as far as I know - for anniversaries of cities, counties, etc. And Commericial Commemorations is - more or less - for everything else. At least it says "this category will accept all anniversary markers and monuments that are not about a country, city, state, or other place.". So, I will try this category. Thanks for the hint. I won't try Reliefs or First of its Kind though. First Of Its Kind, Andreas. For the most part, that category only needs the word "FIRST" (or an equivalent in another language) in the text of a plaque. Now the title - First Playing of the Deutschmeister March should do it. Of course, this is assuming that the plaque in question is AT the Ober-St. Veiter Casino. You indicate that IT IS, so go for it!! One of three types of firsts accepted is this category: "First Item or Event - as in "First Diesel Locomotive" or "First Hanging in the USA" You should definitely be good to go with that category.

+T0SHEA Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) This monument is about the loss of life in a overturned pontoon boat. Not quite a ship wreak. I know about Citizen Memorial.

May 14, 1942 This monument is dedicated to the memory of the United States soldiers lost with the sinking of a US Corp of Engineers Pontoon Barge on May 14, 1942 at Charlie Lake, British Columbia, Canada I would also post this under World War II Memorials. This was part of the U.S. Army's efforts to build the Trans Alaska Highway during that war and this incident was the largest single loss of life that occurred. It cannot go under Non Specific Veterans because only one war was involved. Specific Veterans is out because multiple units were involved. This involved active duty Army personnel so the Citizen Memorial category would be out. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment

I checked People Names Places before posting on this forum and the mountain in question does not qualify. People named places: This category seeks to document places and structures named for a person. These include cities, towns, airports, bridges, dams or buildings. Please only submit man-made structures to this category. Not Accepted: Bodies of water Land structures (mountains, hills, fields, valleys, malls, plazas, etc.) Streets/highways Parks and Churches (these are covered by many other categories) Places named for religious deities or mythical figure Quote Link to comment
+QuesterMark Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 There's a pedestrian bridge recently installed in Fort Worth, created by an artist and paid for by the City of Fort Worth Public Art Program. https://fwpublicart.org/drift/ That picture is NOT mine, though I have my own to do the waymark with. What category would this go in? It doesn't seem like a Hiking Path Footbridge, because it crosses a creek between two sidewalks in the middle of a residential section of town. Any suggestions?

401Photos Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Because St. Joseph Cemetery Chapel ( https://stjosephashtonri.org/st-joseph-cemetery ) includes spaces for 250 cremations in marble wall niches, it doesn't fit the requirements for "Cemetery Chapels" since the category states "no remains". It belongs to a Catholic parish half a mile north. Suggested categories? The cemetery itself has already been Waymarked in "Worldwide Cemeteries". "Religious Buildings Multifarious" appears to want places that host regularly scheduled worship services. Nice building, but I'm feeling stuck. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

Since the building allows remains, this makes the building a mausoleum. This is why, when I wrote the category description, I had to state that no remains could be in the chapel - mausoleums were already accepted. Quote Link to comment

Becktracker Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 In front of the city hall of Bergen of Zoom I found a cool plaque with the inscription: D'historie/van deez'plaats/mag Bergen leren:/laat eigen vrijheid/nooit/in 't Tegendeel/verkeren (From the history of this place Bergen may learn; let liberty never become the opposite). The plaque has been placed at the location of the Liberty tree, which has been erected of the occasion of the French revolution in 1795. It has been placed by the Tafelronde, the Dutch branch of The International Order of the Round Table. Enough cool elements but what is the best fit for this waymark? Quote Link to comment
+bluesnote Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 You can try the Smithsonian inventory if it's listed there. When all else fails, try the relief art sculpture category. At least it'll go somewhere. IOOF should accept these as they have in the past. You might also want to try the citizen memorials category. If this is not a grave, I will approve it there.

To mark this, freedom trees were placed everywhere, including here in front of the town hall."

I would write you, but my life is so deadly dull these days I can't find anything to write - unless I were to resort to prevarication, fantasy and hyperbole. Anyhow, about that Water memory, light art work thingie: It's not kinetic, it's not realistic, it's not figurative, it's not silhouette - in fact it's not a whole lotta things. I see that it's actually in Turku, which is good in case you need to go and get more pix. Given what it's not, I am gonna say that IF you had some nice day AND night shots of it AND you did a really great writeup I just might accept it in Abstract Public Sculptures. After all, if it shows well in your pix and reads well in your writeup it deserves a place in Waymarking. So go get those pix, if you don't have them already, write it up and send it in. At this time of the year night shots in Turku ought to be a proverbial walk in the park. Serkkusi, Keith Quote Link to comment

In principle, it should be accepted in the category "Religious buildings multifarious", but make it clear that it is part of "The Old Catholic Church". Definition: The Old Catholic Church, also called Old Catholics or Christian Catholicism, designates since 1870 the faithful who claim to be Catholics but refuse the Catholic dogmas of papal infallibility and the supreme and universal jurisdiction of the bishop from Rome. I hope it's gonna be all right. Phil Quote Link to comment
+fi67 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Religious buildings multifarious is the right choice. I am an officer of the Roman Catholic Church category; we do not accept Old Catholic churches. And I live in one of the very few areas where Old Catholic churches are not uncommon (which are the Netherlands, North-western Switzerland and Poland). I have posted dozens of Old Catholic churches to the Multifarious category. Quote Link to comment

I find them an interesting piece of history and I've run into some already. Can there be any category fitting these? Or is it a category gap? By the most commonly understood definition, this shouldn't be acceptable in Preserved Machines on Public Display. Machine, from Wordnik: "A device consisting of fixed and moving parts that modifies mechanical energy and transmits it in a more useful form." Yet, by another definition, from the same source, it could, while broadly interpreting said definition, become acceptable, "A system or device, such as a computer, that performs or assists in the performance of a human task" , as it assists in performing what would otherwise be a human task, that of providing water to steam powered locomotives. A pretty loose interpretation of the general understanding of the word "machine", I'll admit, but potentially applicable, nonetheless. Also, strictly speaking, this isn't a "water pump", as the pumping of the water occurs underground, likely accomplished by an electrically driven pump. This is simply an elaborate spigot, hydrant, outlet, etc. - can't think of a proper definition for it. Keith Edit: Despite the fact that I once Waymarked a STOP Sign, one of our legendary Waymarkers (which one I no longer recall) once stated that: "Not everything needs to be Waymarked". Edit #2 - Looking once again at the photo, it appears that the spigot, hydrant, outlet, etc. stands beside what may well be a water tower, making this a gravity-fed spigot, hydrant, outlet, etc., and the water tower Waymarkable.
