bandwidth in MBps or Mbps?

Photo

"A well-known photograph of such a warchalk symbol was created by Jones's colleague Ben Hammersley, and has been widely reproduced." Is there any point in mentioning this if there isn't a copy of the image? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.152.115.183 (talk) 05:29, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, as it details the history of the practice, and documents a picture many may be familiar --58.110.131.238 01:32, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Regarding 'Matt Jones who designed the set of icons and produced a downloadable document containing them' How about a direct link to the file ? http://www.blackbeltjones.com/warchalking/warchalking0_9.pdf

How wide-spread is this?

I've heard that warchalking has never really caught-on. Personally, I have never seen it in any form. If it's geographic, then where? Rsduhamel (talk) 20:47, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Probably because people can check if there's a wifi network around using their phones now... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.101.193.31 (talk) 00:32, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Is this even a real thing, or is it just a short-lived project by a couple of guys? I've never seen it, but I'd be happy to be proved wrong. Soupy sautoy (talk) 08:14, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Nobody has ever seen a real war chalk. It was just a media hype. 78.43.215.75 (talk) 20:43, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

I have seen (rare) examples of this. Most commonly at Hackerspaces or hacker cons (internationally). It has sort of become an in-joke among hackers of the war-driving generation. In the early through mid aughts I saw a few libraries (US Mid-Atlantic) use it to advertise their WiFi network to patrons. Maybe once I saw it at a cafe (Washington DC). In all these cases, the symbols were written with parenthesis (either ")( essid" or "() essid key"). I'd have to dig through old photos to find a good example.
