Talk:Graticule Unlocked

What is sufficient proof of being there? I just found out I wasn't the first in the Dortmund graticule(51 7) yesterday, but there was no page of the Dortmund graticule before I created it. And the real first hash contains no pictures or proof in any other form.--Arvid 10:44, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

I looked at the geohash in question, and think it's a planning page. At least until somebody decides to post their story there. Someday I hope to post a table somewhere, but until then here's my worksheet --Thomcat 17:39, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Does a successful Origin Geohash count as a Virgin Graticule award, if no-one has ever achieved a hash in the graticule previously? --CJ 06:39, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

I would say no. I wouldn't count it myself. I see the Origin (or Displaed Origin) as a back-up geohash for the day that you can't get to the real geohash. -Robyn 12:27, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

What about one like this? No proof, plus if you zoom in on the map the point is not in the road. --excellentdude 06:21, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

I saw it, and I think it's pretty weak, but I didn't say anything because I expect that he will do a better geohash within a couple of weeks and then it won't really matter which one is counted as the virgin geohash. If someone else come along in that graticule and does a real geohash before Kortney does, then there's a challenge. I didn't want to jump on a newbie and say "hey you did it wrong!" -Robyn 06:38, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Right, zoom in on the satellite instead of the map and the point is basically on the edge (verge?) of the road. Definitely doable. Worst case, someone else can claim virgin with better proof, as I did in Bellingham, Washington. --Thomcat 06:45, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

What if someone has claimed it, say's they will provide the proof yet 4 months later still has no picture's, could a counter claimed hash take it if the person doesn't provide the proof?

If you've got proof, and they don't, go for it. I did that to a grat.  :-) --excellentdude 01:54, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
