====Place Update Requests====
When moderating Place Update Requests (PURs), please be aware that they are not added to the map until the Wazer hits Done. This means that a passenger of a car may take a great photo of a business, but be a block or two down the road before it is added. Zoom into the map where the Place was added and ensure they are where they are supposed to be.

====Place Locking====


===Place Locking===
Editors are encouraged to fill in all available information about a place. A place can be locked once it minimally has the following information:
*Correct Category
*Name - Formatted with Title Case (Use capital letters for the first letter in each word)
*Area or Point with Destination Point in the correct location
*Address - House number and correct street name


Places can be locked once they have enough information so trusted users trying to change the information that has already been verified will need to have the changes approved.  As a rule we lock Hospitals and Airports at 5 and everything else can be locked at 3, but only after it minimally has the following information:
Once complete, NC uses the following minimum place locks:
* Correct Category
{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center; margin-left:0px;"
* Name - Formatted with Title Case (Use capital letters for the first letter in each word)
! Place Category !! Minimum Lock
* Area or Point with Destination Point in the correct location
|-
* Address - House number and correct street name
|Airports, Hospitals, Urgent Cares, and Freeway Rest Areas || '''5'''
|-
|All other places || '''3'''
|}


Please try to fill in all information available, but those items are the minimum.
Other important places such as major tourist attractions prone to editing and major parks can be locked at 4 or 5 as necessary to protect their integrity.
