Talk:Hall of amazingness

I don't really like the table idea. There doesn't seem to be much point in hiding the actual link to the expedition. A non-geohasher would likely click the "when" or "where" link first and be confused. Reverting for now, but discuss amongst yourselves. Brett Daniel 16:29, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I see. I'll think of something better, or just leave it as it is. Thanks for the feedback! :) -- Relet 17:53, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

As the list grows (yay!) and need some organization, how about sorting them out into sections? I'd have Physical Feats (e.g. the bike+kayak), Applied Technology (e.g. airplane or eight in one day with a car), Geohashing Mishaps (e.g. the police rescue), Wonderful Wackiness (e.g. the couch, unicycling parties, reaching a water hash on an inflatable dolphin) and Hi, We're From the Internet (for meetups notable for who attended (Prince Charles shows up?) how many attended or interesting geohasher/non-geohasher interactions, like the shotgun). I'm not averse to one of the sections being an all-time top ten. Perhaps also a latest additions category too. -Robyn 18:49, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Is it just me, or is telling someone you're from the internet not particularly amazing? No offense, it's awesome, but... I thought this was for events that were far more fantastic..--Nak 08:31, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Ack, Nak. How about making this a TOP 10 list (with possibly some honorary mentions once it gets crowded)? Currently, this kind of thing is still quite amazing. But future amazingnesses will certainly outdo this stunt. OTOH, that would require some kind of voting procedure. -- Relet 10:02, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

My idea was to populate the page with expeditions I knew about and perhaps have people look at some and say "MY expedition was better than THAT!" and add theirs. At this point in the game, having random strangers turn up at the same spot is still amazing to me. By all means show me examples of more amazing adventures. I also want people who perhaps don't have photos worth posting to be able to showcase their adventures.

Categories

Since the list became a bit long, I tried to create some categories and arranged the entries. Feel free to revert or to rearrange! --Ilpadre 15:12, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Love your work. Much easier to look at now. :) --CJ 00:17, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. It makes it easier to browse the list. -Robyn 16:36, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Include pictures?

I just thought that for many of these examples of amazingness a picture would be so great, and that's why I thought of including a picture for each of them, for example for Art and Aesthetics:

• 

  2008-12-27 51 8 - Re-enacting the Oslo coat of arms.

• 

  2008-10-31 41 -96 - Someone goes geohashing dressed up as a banana.

• 

  Talk Like A Pirate Day 2008 - Eleven out of seventeen remaining pirates on Earth visited geohashes.

I know that this will make the page longer, but I think it would be more informative that way. What do you say? --HiroProtagonist 01:14, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

A few excellent pictures sound great to me. The page should be an interesting place that make people say "wow! some geohashers are raising the bar on craziness, I'd better get going!" -Robyn 01:19, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Setting the Bar

Robyn, in your last edit you say, "Tell us what's so amazing about that." I don't think many geohashers would actually wade waist-deep into weedy, murky water. I wouldn't of. The similar 2008-10-31 59 11 expedition is also on this list, in which Relet braved colder but clearer water, and I believe walked much further to get there. I'm not saying which of these belong, I just wanted to provide some perspective (since you're fearless and all). --Juventas 02:16, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
