Expedition 10000

Some time this spring or summer, the geohashing community will be celebrating its 10,000th geohash expedition. Who knew, seven years ago, that it would take this long? (rimshot)

All seriousness aside, I'll will be developing a gratuitous ribbon for the geohasher(s) who participate in the momentous expedition. As of 2015-03-05, there were 9,691 expeditions in the wiki, as well as about 30 "new reports" that were created but never revisited. I'll be tracking when we reach the threshold; if there are multiple geohashes that day, then all geohashers that day will get the ribbon (though I will figure out the exact #10,000 based on the time the expedition report is created.)

My methodology is:

The number of expedition report in the Category:Expeditions category.
Grind through Category:New report entries. I'll nudge as many as I can into either "planning" or "expedition".

I may also put together a "One Percenter" merit badge for geohashers who have done 100 or more expeditions, although Category:Addicted to geohashing kinda covers that :-)

Feel free to leave any questions or suggestions here.

Comments

I was checking out some Categories and came across a few that will affect your numbers.

There is one 'expedition' in the Examples category that isn't really an expedition
For the Retro expeditions, some have the Expedition category, some don't: Retro Not reached and Retro Reached
If retros will be counted, then the expedition category should be added to the origin expeditions too.

Let me know if you want help with these and what you want to do and I can assist. Pedalpusher (talk) 13:49, 24 March 2015 (EDT)
