Talk:Expedition 10000

By the Numbers

I find this interesting:

According to the World map of Successful Expeditions, there are 966 Graticules that have recorded expeditions. So this averages out to just over 10 expeditions per (non-virgin) graticule.

Further, the World map indicates that there are over 12,000 Graticules that are named and (probably) aren't ocean/sea/water. If every single expedition was to a new Graticule, there would still be over 3,000 virgin Graticules over land not counting Antartica(where most Graticules aren't named).

"Did not attempt"

I am not discounting any Category:Not reached - Did not attempt expeditions, about 50 right now. A lot of them are meetups at closest spot on the beach when the hash is out at sea, which I'm all for encouraging. The same with other "Not reached" categories. -- Jevanyn (talk) 09:35, 6 March 2015 (EST)

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)

• I'll take the example expedition into account, so I know I'm looking for a count in the category of 10,001 to adjust for it. I want to bring attention to all the expeditions on the day we go over, more than the individual one, because of items like this that I can't account for.
• I hadn't thought about the retro hashes. I'd like to count origin expeditions and successful retro hashes for interesting historical dates, but it gets more complicated. There are cases where someone went to several retro hashes on one trip. Count that as one, or many? I think a lot of people would not want to count retro hashes unless they were for dates before May 2008 when geohashing actually got started.

Let me think it over, and see if anyone else has some comments. -- Jevanyn (talk) 14:54, 24 March 2015 (EDT)

If we are going to count Retros, then they should each be their own expedition; just like on a Multi-hash, each location has it's own page and is thus counted individually as an expedition even though it was one trip. Also, I think that would just be too hard to count otherwise. Pedalpusher (talk) 15:24, 26 March 2015 (EDT)
