Talk:Geobrush achievement

Proposal discussion

• Needs work: I really like the concept, and I wonder why we haven't had that idea earlier. But can we use a name which the majority of us won't need to look up in the Encyclopedia of Local Artists of Offshore Countries aka Wikipedia? I mean, we do have the Bill Gates achievement, which is also named after a human, but that's another league of fame. I'm thinking of a more general name such as Geobrush achievement, Ceci n'est pas un hashpoint achievement or simply Visual Artist achievement. --Calamus 04:10, 12 January 2014 (EST)

• I support this achievement, because I like the idea and I think there is a lot of potential for even non-artists (like me) to come up with a collage, say, made of materials found at the hashpoint. I shall add it to my list of things to do this summer. But like Calamus above, the name means absolutely nothing to me and I would prefer a more general one which communicates the idea of the achievement better. — Benjw  _{talk} 06:49, 12 January 2014 (EST)

Better Naming

The naming seems to be the only failure so far, so let's just start a list of better / more generally understandable names.
I choosed Bob Ross originally because he was the first person plopping into my mind when I thought about a non-academic artist, famous for landscapes and encouraging people to be creative. But I understand that he's too widely unknown. ;) TroLLorT (talk) 13:19, 12 January 2014 (EST)
