Welcome to Geohashing. You asked in IRC for comments about the expedition pages you've created and suggestions on how to create them. This page and the 2 expedition planning pages you've created so far seem fine to me. When you finish writing up an expedition after going out (whether you succeeded or failed), you might remove any sections from the template that you didn't end up putting any content into, and select the appropriate categories by un-commenting the category lines at the bottom of the template, and deleting the ones that don't apply to your expedition, including the Expedition Planning category once the expedition has actually happened. For this particular expedition, I left the following categories:

• Expeditions This standard category should be applied to any expedition page
• Coordinates not reached applied to expeditions which actually happened, but where nobody actually reached the coordinates
• Not reached - No public access reason for the expedition being included in the above category. This is optional

You might also want to link your completed expeditions from the appropriate graticule page, and possibly your user page as well. As to creating expedition pages, using the link from the mapping site as you did works fine. I generally type in the URL for the expedition page by hand (www.geohashing.org/YYYY-MM-DD_lat_lon) if I'm creating the page before I go out. If I don't create the page before I go out, I generally post an initial report from the field using the geohashing app for android, which creates the page using the standard template. No one option is preferred by all, so do whatever works and seems easiest to you. At any rate, I hope you found any of this helpful, and best of luck to you in your future geohashing endeavors. --Eldin (talk) 03:51, 24 March 2013 (EDT)
