I believe that a [[Bicycle geohash achievement|bicycle geohash]] is intended to be done ''solely'' by bicycle, with travel by train on the way to the hash invalidating the achievement (although the return journey is ok).  So I'm not sure the two you did on Saturday count as bicycle hashes.  However, I ''do'' think they count as [[Public transport geohash achievement|public transport hashes]] instead. -- [[User:Benjw|Benjw]] 21:33, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Revision as of 22:01, 19 April 2009

I thought it was a little bit sad that you'd gone to all the trouble to make a little mini footnote on your signature that linked to your talk page, but that you had no talk. Of course if you really liked the look of that red footnote, I've screwed it up now. Sorry about that. -Robyn 19:26, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Nah, this is just my standard signature I used on other wikis before, so it's actually supposed to be a blue link. So far, I seem to do my communication with other users only on the articles' talk pages instead of this page. But thanks for creating it. Koepfel talk 19:42, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey, yes, I know about the reletbot, but I did volunteer my services and actually I don't really want to stop doing this; I'm reading a lot of wonderful stories from people all across the globe. If I didn't have code I had to write today I'd gladly change all of the articles by hand. Oh, and I agree with Robyn (again), your signature is really neat. --Virgletati 20:23, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Bicycle geohashes

I believe that a bicycle geohash is intended to be done solely by bicycle, with travel by train on the way to the hash invalidating the achievement (although the return journey is ok). So I'm not sure the two you did on Saturday count as bicycle hashes. However, I do think they count as public transport hashes instead. -- Benjw 21:33, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

I was unsure about that. That's why I didn't claim the achievement, but only added it on Bicycle geohashes, not on Bicycle geohash achievement. Koepfel talk 21:43, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
It does explicitly say that public transport cannot be used, in the description of a bicycle geohash. And surely the bicycle geohashes page is a list of bicycle geohashes? -- Benjw 22:01, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
Also, Tomtom did 2008-06-29_47_19 by train and bike, this is alco listed on Bicycle geohashes. Koepfel talk 21:43, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
Well spotted. I've removed them. -- Benjw 22:01, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
