Which memorial-related category would this fit in?

 

— The Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community has built the 5-acre memorial near Scottsdale as a tribute to those who were aboard the USS Arizona when it was attacked and sank at Pearl Harbor in December 1941.

The USS Arizona Memorial Gardens honors each of the ship’s 1,512 crew members, including the 1,177 who died in the explosion caused by one torpedo and eight bombs hitting the battleship.

Do you have some photos you could provide? I too think WWII would probably be the best fit...maybe disaster memorials as well. Vietnam MIA/POW is a different war so I don't think this one could be submitted there.

They accept memorials of soldiers missing in action and who were prisoners of war of other wars as well

When we visited the Delphi excavations in Greece last year, we saw an interesting memorial stone commemorating the fact that at the turn of the century France was entrusted with the excavations. I'm not sure which category (if any) would best fit here.

Gifts from other countries?


I'm not sure, if this stone is a gift of France to Greece, or vice versa.

"Signs of History" probably - since it states the time frame of the excavation (October 1892 - Mai 1903 (or 1908 - the number is not really readable)).

 

I will try this category. I was first thinking about "Histoires de France (French historical markers)", because I think it would fit there, but the WMs in that category have to "Be located in France and in the departments and territories overseas".

OK, wasn't there a category for letters seen from the space - i.e. sattelite imagery? I can't find it there and have something to submit there. Anyone remembers this categiry name?

This made me thing what is this doing in Satellite Image Oddities:

https://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/wm17XKH_James_Brindley_Etruria_Stoke_on_Trent_Staffordshire_UK

 

There are dozens of Waymarks just like that in Satellite Image Oddities.

It's the result of a poorly written or conceived category and very permissive reviewing on the part of the officers.

 

Confession: I've even submitted a similar one to the category when I needed the category for a Lucky 7.

A good selection of dates, and good descriptions?

 

Timelines category?

Hints to place these objects please.  Third one is a wall with bullet holes, shot by a British platoon over a crowd of demonstrators in India. It was a carnage and the leading officer was punished for it. I was thinking about Scenes of Crimes (or whatever the name is)...?

Is the train static, or does it move? Go uphill/downhill?  Try Funicular Railways...

(Not sure if it states how steep it has to be, to be a Funicular :huh:)

A funicular is defined by its drive technology and nothing else. (It does simply not work if it is not steep enough, but that's just physics and has nothing to do with a category description).

The car is more like an old horse tramway. It's now a cafe. And I don't think the monument can be approved as Googie.

Static Train Cars should work. It looks like they also accept tramway cars.

And Dining Car Restaurants might be worth a try as well. The category description does not support this, but there are already several approved examples like yours.

"This is not for displays in car museums." 

 

So no, can't go to cars in permanent display

This quotation leads to my question (not to Torgut, but to the officers of the "Permanent Car Displays" category): What if there is museum, that is NOT a car museum with dozens and hundreds of cars, but a - let's say - technical or historical museum with just ONE special car on display?

 

And one question to Torgut: What's the story behind this Morris Minor(?) car?

Otherwise I would just try and post it to Permanent Car Displays ...

 

That is for rail cars, railways or tramways. 

 

The car is indeed in a museum. It's not a car's museum, it's about the formation of Pakistan. Thus the impossibility of submitting to that category. 

Still looking for a category to place that amazing monument in Lahore named Minar e-Pakistan. More suggestions?

If I understood Alfouine right, the car will be accepted in Permanent Car Displays, because it is in a museum that is not a car museum.

I'm a little bit confused on your insistence that the car would not be accepted there ...

If nothing else you can try the Wikipedia category (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minar-e-Pakistan).

Since it is a national symbol, it  is also an official turism attraction (see https://visitlahore.com/attractions/minar-e-pakistan/).

Satellite image oddities may also accept this (see https://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/minar-e-pakistan/), but here I'm not sure.

 

Unfortunatly it is not part of the inscribed property of the Unesco World Heritage "Fort and Shalamar Gardens in Lahore", which is next to it (at least it was not mentioned in the document on the inscribed property).

Hi everyone,  

I recently saw the house pictured here, which has a large tree growing through two stories of porches.  I thought it was very neat and took some photos.  I'm wondering if it would fit in any Waymarking categories.  My first thought was Omnivorous Trees, but in this case it seems that the house was built around the tree intentionally, and the tree isn't really "eating" the house.  I also thought of "Treehouses," but that category says that the house must be elevated.  Does anyone else have any ideas about which category this might be good for?  

Thanks!

The description of Exceptional Trees is rather vague, so it might be accepted there. "It can also be the second biggest, the third biggest, or any tree of truly exceptional size." does probably not apply to your tree. If it is currently not accepted there, it would at least fit there, if the owner would decide to include trees that are not only exceptional in size or age, but also in "other ways" (which might be difficult to define - maybe "exceptional form" like c2f864eb6ecff909eb4d487374b00afa.jpg (520×670) (pinimg.com) or "exceptional planting spaces" like on your photo).

When I visited a monastery in Romania, I saw this interesting thing:

3.thumb.jpg.ac4bda2cbcd32f4ead2649685dfe0c99.jpg

 

It's a thick metal plate, hung on a pole (about 1 m high) and some people might call it a "Bell", because it is made of metal and it's used to call the nuns to a mess like bells in catholic churches/monasteries. But, from Wikipedia I learned that this is a metal-made Semantron (never heard that before). Now, the question is: Will it be accepted in the Bells category?

This reproduction building at a national historic site was a special project. Any ideas?

Edited to add: My husband thinks there is a category for EVERYTHING. Perhaps this proves him wrong!

Well CW, my mind's a blank here. I suspect the CNHS has long since been done.

What, though, is the actual building? That may yet provide us with a lead to a category.

BTW, your hubby is neither completely correct NOR incorrect, as best I can tell. :lol:

Thanks. This is more like a bell than a Musical instrument, but I will give it a try. -> Accepted, thanks a lot.
