Lots of
places, but what of the quality of the data inputed?
I quite religiously updated the
places database up to about two years ago. Then I noticed that others who were doing updates didn't put quite the same effort in as I did.
So haven't bothered since.

Yes.. but with your good work the site will be better off in the long run , what we must not forget is that this site is www and that means the whole world has access to it, therefor a good quality of effort is needed , remember if you add 10 top quality photo's no one else can ruin that PLACE with poor quality photo's, so c'mon..... get your ass back into making it a great site.

To all
They are getting harder to work with tho. you but a new one up then when it's loaded there's twenty others of the same thing.
And for me anyway you make a mistake on where it is you cannot edit it, have to go through Damian. I but Alan's DC marker up once and it ended up in the ocean.. LOL
I haven't done it for a while.

Richard & Others,
If you want access to the place move tool you just need to ask - I can do this easily these days and you can then move
places using the mapping system - also now the in map editing allows you to change all the text - if you have not seen this - go to
places on the map open a place - click/search or whatever and then when the place info is shown in the RHS - click on the title or the more.. link and the place page will be displayed on the map - now you can click on the edit links and change the data quickly and easily without have to change to another page open any new windows - once updated simply close the info page and open up another place using the same method.
