: Yes, looks good. I find it kind of annoying that many articles have personal stuff mixed inbetween the article. This would solve the problem. Still a lot of work to clean everything up though. --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 09:39, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
::Jep, good idea. I guess we did this already sometimes in the past by using ''Trivia'' as an header, where people can add their experiences and/or interesting/funny things about the spot. --[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] 14:56, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
==Hitchhiking gestures==
Thumb up we usually use to stop cars can be understood by some cultures as very serious insult. Signs language varies on every continent/country/culture. Maybe we should create a page to share/exchange this information??? Thanx, [[User:Mirto|Mirto]] 20:44, 26 August 2008 (CEST)
:Sure, sounds good! Just start it ;-) [[User:platschi|platschi]]<small><sup>[http://blogs.hitchwiki.org/platschi site], [[user talk:platschi|wikitalk]]</sup></small> 12:18, 27 August 2008 (CEST)
:: It was one of the things why for a night I slept quite bad during a visit to the Polish-Lithuanian border region, where I was staying with artistic hc-members (professional artists), I was thinking much about creating such info on my hh in the Netherlands site. There are one or two sheets with signals of both hitchhikers and drivers in the nice book Autostop polski which was published a few years ago. http://www.ha.art.pl/?view=news&nid=75 --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] 12:30, 27 August 2008 (CEST)
:Great idea. [[Hitchhiking Gestures]], I propose. We could start with a gesture, and list the countries? Maybe an idea as well to create icons for the different gestures and to place the appropriate icon in the entry for a country/ city. See also [[Hitchhiking techniques]]. --[[User:Robino|Robino]] 00:46, 28 August 2008 (CEST)
::Great! I was thinking more about continents->countries (->regions if needed).That is the way you will naturally look for information. If I am going to south Italy, I will not check gest by gest to know which one is working there. But it shouldnt be to complicated neither.
So maybe you could find a place where we could put ideas about '''Hitchhiking Traces'''? I mean things remaining after something as ephemeral as a ride? Postcards we send to drivers, notes we can find on road sines left by other hikers, cardboard sign found at a spot with the same direction as yours... I am sure there are many more of those things! What you think? You know, hitchhiking is an Art. [[User:Mirto|Mirto]]
: I like your ideas. For such simple things, don't bother to ask, just start a page. ;) It's very likely, that others will help anyway --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 10:25, 28 August 2008 (CEST)
:: Cool. But I don't think Hitchhiking Traces is good name. Yet I can't find any better. Anyone?
::: I think it's not so bad. Maybe rather Hitchhiker's Traces? --[[User:MrTweek|MrTweek]] 17:00, 28 August 2008 (CEST)
:::: OK, as Guaka has changed [[Hitchhiking Gestures]] into [[Gestures]], I think just [[Traces]] would be good. Anyone for? [[User:Mirto|Mirto]] 20:23, 6 September 2008 (CEST)
