Hey. What's your opinion on the new page layout? It was suggested on the talk page that the graticule page be rewrote to make it a bit clearer. Do you want me to go ahead and look up all past expeditions in the graticule and link to them at the top, under the ones for January? I just tried to separate the plans from the actual expedition pages. Just thoughts. Thanks. Woodveil 03:49, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

It is still not clear from reading the geohash-by-geohash summary descriptions on the Atlanta, Georgia page which geohashes were attempted and which were merely looked up and listed. No one wants to have to click on every link to to see if there was a successful expedition or not. This is exacerbated by the heading "Geohashes Scouted" because scouted is used by some geohashers to mean they drove by to make sure it wasn't behind a fence or they visited a day early to make sure it was a good location before inviting their friends. I would recommend separate lists of those that resulted in coordinates reached, coordinates not reached, and those that were merely locations looked up on peeron but not visited. Most active graticules don't list the last, except perhaps for particularly notable locations.

In addition, consider including a word or two of interesting details about your best expeditions in the summary line, so people can see which would be interesting to click on. Like "overnight camping", "rented a horse", "neighbor called the cops", "best hot dogs ever," "thwarted by circus tents". As you do more expeditions than most graticules, it might be better to move the older expeditions to a subpage every couple of months instead of just once a year. Good picture. -Robyn 15:05, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

We do more expeditions in one month than most graticules have ever done. Good picture of what? --72.243.74.114 15:40, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

True, but one expedition in a month is more than most graticules have ever done.  :-) -- Benjw 15:43, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
