Screen shotted this spot, are kinda new with applying on my own. Used to just let others, to do it. Got 2 new through in my area, but we do have those marking stone with F.M on - Fortidsmindesten or in english prehistoric momery stone. Their useally placed on historical burial mounts, pre historic religous spots and settlements from around the Bronze age, some places even older than the pyramides. I guess I messed up my nomenations, but from my view points the F.M stones, despite kinda being mass produced just like waypointer and path pointers but in stone instead of plastic and wood. Are a bit similar, during to being pointing out, when or where people, can be looking for the past and sometimes when their on it. Sometimes its from an old long house with stone left, sometimes a round burial mount and so on. Am I over adding into the text? The spot got an small grass parking lot, next to where busses with useally park in the summer with tourists on guided tour, people on bicycles and in cars. So any who knows how, i can applying them?
My very first wayspot submission was a definitely eligible remarkable boundary marker, for which I passed the details to someone else to upload because I had no idea what I was doing, so you are not alone in learning while exploring
The photo itself doesn’t tell me anything, doesn’t show me that this is a post worth exploring. As a guideline, the post should fill half the width and half the height of the photo.
Boundary stones and location marker stones are potentially eligible, but you do need to sell them to the reviewers if they aren’t selling themselves.
Thank you very much for the respond, well I guess i just have to try again with some even better pictures, when the snow storm have passed and the worst of the snow. Would maybe a title on what mount type, it stands on + Marker type as ending? Be a good type of title? I am I might have added to much, to description during to explaining the burial type ect. I been a bit worried, for if i have been to over explaining in description. I am sadly on somethings and quiet often, an over studier for what is needed for the spots.
But i guess in the end, i just trying to learn for our rureal areas who are lovely on foot or bicycle, when the weather allows it. How their can have spots, for active people and playfull people of all ages.
I find a decent title and an attractive photo are key to anything that isn’t immediately obvious (such as a church, playground). I suspect that many reviewers make the decision immediately on seeing those, even if they don’t intend to.
If a title is too short (e.g, “Boundary Marker”) or too long (e.g., “Boundary Marker found in the hedgerows between the fields behind Royston Varsey”), these might put off reviewers and cause them to look for reasons to reject.
If the photo makes reviewers go “what is this??” and they have to zoom in to try and understand what is being submitted, you’ve almost certainly lost them regardless of how well you describe it.
For wayspots in rural surroundings like this, cleaning the area first might be needed. If this is on top of anything, that photo doesn’t show this, so you might need to clear the ground to make something visible.
If there is a marking on the stone, make sure you include this in the photo (I can’t see it in this photo). If this means scrambling through brambles to get to the other side, then that’s what you need to do
I would actually not nominate these (and I would not approve them either). The Fortidsminde markers are were as far as I know mostly meant to mark the area for archeological visits later on. They are not meant as public guidance like trail markers are - they are not meant for “pointing out when or where people can be looking for the past”.
I don’t think you should be concerned with explaining too much in the description; some of mine are very long, some of mine are short. If it’s relevant, then keep it.
These two pictures are of Vejlekromøddingen. It is archeologically interesting, but I myself would never be able to write a good reason to nominate it as a Wayspot, and the picture of the Fortidsmindemarkør being there would not be enough for me.
I would say that the Fortidsmindemarkør is not the interesting object, what it is marking is; focus on that, also in your pictures, and you might get it approved in the end, but I think you should also consider if it is also a genuinely good place to explore, because most of them are not.
Ps.
Here are two of ones I personally really like, but would not nominate as a Wayspot.
Toftegærds Bakke, which is super interesting with its history as a gravesite through multiple periods, being a burial mound from sometime 4000-500 years BC, while archeologists have also discovered burial items the iron age.
Trehøje, which to me is a super beautiful and even older Rundhøj… But it’s also just a hill in a field with a stone on it (which is why it wouldn’t make a good Wayspot)
I been a bit worried, for if i have been to over explaining in description. I am sadly on somethings and quiet often, an over studier for what is needed for the spots.
