Tipis are stereotypically associated with Native Americans in the United States in general, but Native Americans from places other than the Great Plains mostly used different types of dwellings. The term wigwam (a domed structure) is sometimes incorrectly used to refer to a tipi.

Detractors accused him of preaching racism, black supremacy, and violence. He has been called one of the greatest and most influential African Americans in history.

Gauguin was later recognized for his experimental use of colors and synthetist style that were distinguishably different from Impressionism. His work was influential to the French avant-garde and many modern artists, such as Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse. Gauguin’s art became popular after his death and many of his paintings were in the possession of Russian collector Sergei Shchukin. He was an important figure in the Symbolist movement as a painter, sculptor, print-maker, ceramist, and writer.

I have been visiting VGT since 2008, and I signed up recently.

I'm submitting a map, but it says: "Map URL already exists in database! You can use the Check For Duplicates button to find out which one." I looked at the other maps, and none of them are the same map. They're all in the same city, but I guess that doesn't matter. (Does It?)

Sorry for my noob-like ways, I appreciate the help.

Thanks,

It evolved from Romanesque architecture and was succeeded by Renaissance architecture. Originating in 12th century France and lasting into the 16th century, Gothic architecture was known during the period as "French work", with the term Gothic first appearing during the latter part of the Renaissance. Its characteristic features include the pointed arch, the ribbed vault and the flying buttress.

There are 191 categories and the maximum total possible score is 508.

A big Thank You to everyone who helped put this one together.

(See the rules at the bottom of this post.)

Have fun and happy hunting!

A few rules apply to some of the categories. Those categories are so noted:

Note 1: Identify the person
Note 2: Provide a relevant More Info link
Note 3: Not close to or part of a series of images related to another post in the same category. Examples are windmills in the same wind farm, cars in the same show room, items for sale in the same store, the same item but a different angle.
Note 4: For example but not limited to in a drive-thru, at a toll booth, on a ferry, in a car wash, etc.
Note 5: Provide a link to proof
Note 6: Identify the program
Note 7: Either static display or armed
Note 8: Provide a link to the museum's web site describing that specific object
Note 9: This can be a photo, ad, art, graffiti, etc. It also includes mash-ups, variations, humorously altered, and derived versions.
Note 10: Action figure, art, ad, poster, photograph, sculpture, or original.
Note 11: A building that was obviously built for one purpose and is now used for something else, e.g. the Skatepark / Church from Safari #94 or the canal boat converted into a DotCom office. Not just open industrial space or a ware house though. Make it interesting.
Note 12: eateries that have been featured on the Food Network Show ( http://www.foodnetwork.com/diners-drive-ins-and-dives/ ). Include a link to the page for that show. Hint: Click on links in the Episode Guide for addresses of locations the episode used.
Note 13: Interior shot from Google Inside imagery.
Note 14: Not in a photo, picture, ad, art, sculpture, etc.
Note 15: This can be a photo, picture, ad, art, sculpture, etc.

Also:

* All submissions must be from Google Street View / Google Inside / Google Android 360 imagery.

* No waymarking.com or other geolocation sites may be used for More Info links.

* No photo only More Info links. The page linked to must have a relevant caption or description describing subject matter. i.e. not just a link to a jpg or png file.

* Generally if someone posts a category from one location, you may not post a submission for that same category that is related to the original submission. i.e. Note 3 pretty much applies to all categories.

* Unless explicitly noted otherwise, photos and artist depictions of the subject in the category will be accepted. i.e. Note 15 applies to all categories unless otherwise noted. -- kjfitz]]> Wed, 08 May 2013 01:23:53 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/forums/showflat.php?Number=12228 Fairchild C-123 Provider http://virtualglobetrotting.com/forums/showflat.php?Number=12209 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/forums/showflat.php?Number=12209 Fairchild C-123 Provider is an American military transport aircraft designed by Chase Aircraft and subsequently built by Fairchild Aircraft for the United States Air Force. In addition to its USAF service, which included later service with the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard, it also went on to serve most notably with the United States Coast Guard and various air forces in South East Asia. During the Vietnam War, the aircraft was used to spray Agent Orange.

I put a picture below, which shows how my placemarks currently look and the format I'm using (blue) and which shows how I want it to look (red). The Google Earth links from VirtualGlobeTrotting do this automatically, and I'd like to know what code causes this formatting. Ideally, I want to be able to do this all within GE without having to open the KML files manually (there's over 2000 placemarks). How do I get this formatting to work? Additionally, can this be done with folders as well?
