• Do not oppose. Changing the picture on the wikipedia page in order to get this achievement is not allowed. - Danatar (talk) 06:23, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Absolutely agree, hadn't thought of that when writing the proposal but it would absolutely not be a valid way to earn the achievement, and goes against the spirit entirely. --KerrMcF (talk) 15:32, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

• Do not oppose/Maybe needs work. I think this is a great thing if you're on the way to a geohash and can then visit something interesting. I would actually be in favor of a more open attitude towards this achievement. So not exactly tied to the pictures in Wikipedia... You're excited about a place, you take photos and when you get home you realize that the photos aren't quite the same as the ones in the Wiki. But like everything, you have to have some kind of proof because there will always be people who cheat. So it works for advance planning, but it becomes difficult for spontaneous ones. I made a few spontaneous stops myself on my motorcycle geohashing geocaching tour. Now, in hindsight, I accidentally took an exact picture of one on Wikipedia. So I claimed the achievement for myself. see expedition on 2024-10-16.
