I marked your July 29 and July 31 expeditions as Category:Expedition Planning since I couldn't tell if there had been an expedition. Once you add a story (and/or photos), please mark them Category:Expeditions, along with Category:Coordinates reached or Category:Coordinates not reached. I would have waited a little longer, but I'm compiling statistics through the end of July. Cheers! --Thomcat 15:42, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Hey, thanks. Unfortunately i still need a few days to have time to edit these pages. But for your information: all expeditions will be Category:Expeditions. I have doubts about the other categories though. The hashpoints on the 27th, 29th and 31st were all in private areas, and i couldn't get within like 25-50 meters. I don't know if that is Category:Coordinates reached or Category:Coordinates not reached. What is the official viewpoint? --Tom 19:48, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

I don't know about "official", but I posted my rationale at Category:Expedition outcomes. --Thomcat 20:34, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

I was just joking. Anyway, that is a well written guideline, so i will categorise expeditions according to that.
Thus: 27th, 29th, and 31st are Category:Coordinates not reached and Category:Failed - No public access.
Details and pics coming soon. --Tom 22:07, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Wiki wierdness

And the answer is: There are templates for meetup on date and meetup in month, but a lot of category pages were created with just the tag for the enclosing category. Is it important? No, I was just wondering why they didn't sort together. -- Jev

Thanks for the answer. And... it's not important that it's not important. I'm usually overly curious about everything. --Tom 20:15, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Reverting spam

Hehe, this is why I, despite the race, try and take a second to eyeball the page and make sure I'm reverting spam, and not someone else's edit. Looking forward to racing with you next time! :) --joannac 19:12, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, i made it sure that i was reverting spam. but i was reverting slowly, because things were happeneing around me, and by the time i pushed the save page button, you'd made the change, and thus the system made my undo to the actual page. i was way surprised. looking forward, too. --Tom 19:17, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Wow, that's really weird behaviour. --joannac 19:19, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Dammit, you're too fast! --joannac 22:52, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Bicycle hashes

Hi, on Bicycle_Geohashes you added a bicycle hash dated 11-11 with a link to a tracklog of a hash at 2008-10-31 47 19. That seems incorrect to me, since you walked to the hash at 11-11 --Arvid 12:50, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

true. i will correct it as soon as possible. it was a geohash on 10.31. actually, but i didn't have time to create that expedition page yet. plus i messed up the references. thanks. --87.97.87.125 16:28, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
