This achievement will require geohashers to bring a "Citation Needed" sign to the hashpoint and take a picture holding it.
Origin
If you are unaware, "Citation Needed" is a joke from 285: Wikipedian Protester that is often found on the what if? site and the explainxkcd wiki. It is a running joke to put [citation needed] after statements that are trivial or blatantly obvious.
-ExplainXKCD wiki.
I thought that doing this might be funny and also spread the word about xkcd (and subsequently geohashing).
Criteria to obtain achievement
- You must bring your own Citation Needed sign to the hashpoint.
- Exception: The group of geohashers that you planned the journey with need only 1 sign for all of you.
- Example: Hasher 1, Hasher 2, and Hasher 3 are heading to a hashpoint as a group. Hasher 3 brings the Citation Needed sign. At the hashpoint there is Hasher 4, who does not have a Citation Needed sign. Hasher 4 cannot get the achievement although they are at the hashpoint.
- Exception: The group of geohashers that you planned the journey with need only 1 sign for all of you.
- Take a picture with you and/or your group holding the sign. Your hand must be touching the sign for it to count.
- The "Citation Needed" text can be in any color. Bonus points if you have it in proper Wikipedia format and colors.
- The sign should be made before you leave your place of residence, but is not required [for the sign to be made before you leave] to obtain the achievement.
- The sign should be visible while you make your way to the hashpoint, but is not required [to be visible on the way to the hashpoint] to obtain the achievement.
Ribbon
It should probably include a Citation Needed sign, like the proposed "Wikipedia Achievement". I would insert it, but I would probably get stuck on deciding what the picture is.
If there's any issues with how this was formatted, feel free to fix them. If not, remove these two sentences.
