User talk:Pica42

Welcome to the Geohashing community, and congratulations on your first expedition! --Fippe (talk) 12:51, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

I'd like to respond to your help request, what can I help you with? --Fippe (talk) 18:08, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

I'm having trouble figuring out how to upload two more photos to today's geohash. --Pica42

You can upload photos over here, one at a time. In order to embed them on the expedition page, include the photo's name between the gallery tags on the Photos section of the expedition. --Fippe (talk) 22:06, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Also, in galleries you don't actually need the Image:/File:/Media: in front of the filename, although it still works if you do. Arlo (talk) 00:41, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

What does it mean that you are "(Adding categories semi-manually)". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pica42 (talk • contribs) 2022-08-31T16:44:48

Usually my bot adds categories automatically, but only if the file contains the exact name of the expedition and is linked from there. If not, I go through the semi-manual procedure once in a while: A script will take a look at where the file is linked from and the name, and suggest some categories. I then check if those categories are appropriate or if they should be different, and make the bot add them. --Fippe (talk) 18:23, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

List of expeditions

How can I create a page that shows all the Geohach I've found in the past? --Pica42 (talk) 14:53, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

I added an entry for you at this page, now you can find a list of your expeditions at User:Pica42/Expeditions. The list is transcludable, and is now also displayed on your user page. --Fippe (talk) 15:33, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for great help. --Pica42 (talk) 18:15, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

How can I delete photos that have been uploaded twice? --Pica42 (talk) 08:20, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

You can request a deletion by editing the page (or file page) and add {{delete|reason --~~~~}}. --Fippe (talk) 08:25, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

There are no pages that use this image file. Where can I delete a duplicate file that is not being used? Is there a place where I can see all the image files I have uploaded? --Pica42 (talk) 08:46, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Here is a list of all files you uploaded: Special:ListFiles/Pica42 --Fippe (talk) 08:53, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

How can I delete the largest image? --Pica42 (talk) 14:49, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

There was a line at 2022-04-11 58 5: [[File:20220411 01.jpg|thumb]]. I removed that, so now it is gone. It is still in the gallery though, the same size as the other pictures. --Fippe (talk) 15:20, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

I'm wondering what I did wrong with 2022-06-13 58 5... --Pica42 (talk)

If you add a link to your profile ([[User:Pica42|Pica42]] instead of just Pica42) in the participants section of 2022-06-13 58 5, it will show up in your expedition list. --Fippe (talk) 15:38, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

What is the difference between red and green arrow on the users side? --Pica42 (talk) 06:37, 18 June 2022‎ (UTC)

Some people use that to easily show whether they completed the expedition or not. I think there's a grey arrow too, for "did not attempt". Arlo (talk) 08:45, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, but I think I made a error on my last recorded trip, although I don't know what I did wrong. Can you tell me what I have done wrong, I don't want to make the mistake again,

Achievements

How do I do when I think I'm entitled to an "achievement". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pica42 (talk • contribs) 2022-02-13T15:00:08

You may award an achievement to yourself if you supply appropriate proof on the expedition page. The page of the achievement lists what kind of proof is needed. The achievement page also links to the achievement template, which you can then display on your user page and/or on the expedition page. --Fippe (talk) 15:25, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

I can not figure out how to create such a frame with the icon for achivement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pica42 (talk • contribs) 2022-03-18T14:34:00‎

You can use templates for that. For a land geohash, use Template:Land geohash. An example usage would be this: {{land geohash |name=[[User:Pica42|Pica42]] |date=2022-03-18 |latitude=58 |longitude=5 }} --Fippe (talk) 14:38, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

How many times can I get for example the achievement: Land geohash achievement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pica42 (talk • contribs) 2022-07-19T16:37:13

There is no limit, you may claim it as many times as you want to. --Fippe (talk) 16:47, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Airport Geohash

Did you attempt to reach yesterday's coordinates at the airport? --Fippe (talk) 11:38, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

No, there was a fence around the area so I could not enter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pica42 (talk • contribs) 2022-04-26T12:47:38‎

Okay, and did you go to the airport and to the fence on that day, or did you see the fence on Google Street View and decided to stay home? --Fippe (talk) 18:59, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

I drove past two days before.
