Category Proposal : Rijksmonumenten - Dutch National Monuments

[+dreamhummie]

Before we send a new category to the peer review i want to discuss it at first in the forum.

 

After the category on Waymarking of the U.S, English, French, German etc etc Monuments it is now time for The Dutch ones.

 

The new category: Rijksmonumenten - Dutch National Monuments

 

More then 61,000 Heritage National Monuments in The Netherlands controlled by the Dutch government and published in a free database.

Please take a look at:http://www.Waymarking.com/cat/details.aspx?f=1&guid=e207d524-fe78-4bca-a296-b4afc0ff0c2b&exp=True and give your opinion about it.

 

This category will be controlled by good Dutch Waymarkers/Officers. More Officer request are pending at this moment of writing.

Because we want more then 3 active Officer/Reviewers on Waymarking before it goes in the Peer Review.

Thx & Grtz John

It looks good. I would change the 61.822 to 61,822 for the number of sites currently listed or say something more general like "there are nearly 62 thousand"

I will volunteer to be an officer if you need some.

@ BruceS Thx & I edit the number of sites listed.

 

@ RakeInTheCache Thx. Because the category is typically Dutch, we prefer Dutch reviewers initially.

 

To All,

The Category Rijksmonumenten - Dutch National Monuments is send today for a Peer Review.

Please enter a positive vote.

Grtz & Thx from The Dutch Monuments Men Officers.

Yeh, I guess it must be a language thing. You got my vote ;-)

FOR YOUR INFORMATION:

 

After 2 new (declined by us) waymarks in our category that turned out to be a cross post from non-category waymarks, we changed the posting rules.
- Instead of 1 picture, we now require 2 pictures made by yourself.

 

The reason for rejecting and changing our posting rules are:

-The pictures of the 2 Rijksmonumenten, originally posted in the non-category waymarks, came from a Dutch database and from wikipedia and have been used in various categories in a cross posting.

Thanks for your attention.

Grtz, John.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION:

 

-We hebben geconstateerd dat Wikipedia niet als geloofwaardige bron gebruikt kan worden in sommige gevallen.
Er zijn genoeg andere betrouwbare bronnen te vinden op internet voor nederlandse Rijksmonumenten. Mocht u er geen kunnen vinden ? neem dan contact op met een van de Officers.

 

-We have found out that Wikipedia cannot be used as a credible source in some cases.

There are plenty of other reliable sources on the internet for Dutch Monuments. If you cannot find one ?, please contact one of the Officers.

UPDATE Juli 01, 2023
A drive-by shooting photo is no longer accepted.

Exceptions such as a Dutch Monument on private property, where it is therefore not possible to get closer.

Then the photos are judged by one of the Officers.

---------

 

We are getting more and more drive-by photos in, which we do not want, so we have decided to add a new posting rule.
It is so easy to take a close-up photo of one of the many Dutch Monuments.
On behalf of John and the other Officers in this category.

At some train stations, it's better to stay on the train and take a photo 😦
