This is a proposal made on 2024-08-05. Please leave comments and suggestions below, indicating your thoughts on the proposal, including:
  • Support - you think this proposal should be added with zero or minor changes
  • Do not oppose - you think it's boring/meh/not for you, but it wouldn't harm to have it created
  • Oppose - you have a specific reason as to why this ribbon should not exist (state this reasoning in your comment)
  • Needs work - you think the achievement should be created after more significant changes have been made

See Proposed achievements for more information on this process.

  • 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)
  • Support/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. The pictures of "Burg Alt-Ramschwag" aren't exactly the same as on the Wiki but I accidentally took an exact picture of the "Mosterei Möhl" one on Wikipedia. So I have both situations and for me both should count. I claimed the achievement for myself. see expedition on 2024-10-16. Globescorer (talk) 10:01, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
