A map showing all the edited post offices with no edit history. Post offices may see moderate change as facilities relocate to handle additional capacity and in response to USPS restructuring, fluctuating populations, etc.  

A map showing all the edited hospital / medical center points with no edit history. Like prisons, hospitals don’t change as much as some of the other feature types. Perhaps the most frequent change these points will see is in naming conventions.

A map showing all the edited prison / correctional facility points with no edit history. Prisons are another feature that was targeted by earlier challenges, so points are concentrated in these earlier challenge states (i.e., Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina).

A map showing all the edited schools with no edit history. Many points are clustered around major cities. Schools can be prone to frequent changes, so it’s especially important that these points are researched and reverified.

This cemetery was included in the review queue because the address field was blank. The editor was correct by leaving the field blank due to the cemetery not having an address nor being near any roads.

A map showing edited points with no edit history for all feature types.

A map showing all the edited fire station points with no edit history. Points are clustered in states along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts along with a few inland states (e.g., Utah, South Dakota, West Virginia, etc.).

Screenshot of two edits in the review queue. The edit on the left is a deletion (i.e., all volunteer deletions go to the review queue regardless of user role or reason). The edit on the right is a new cemetery that was created near another cemetery. Edits in the review queue can either be approved as-is, reviewed and resaved with adjustments, or rejected.

A screenshot of a cemetery in the review queue. This point was flagged for the review queue because it is in proximity to another point with the same symbol.

The left image shows the full zip code that the application flagged and placed in the review queue. When including zip codes be sure to use the 5-digit format shown in the right image.

The left image shows the address without spaces surrounding the hyphen that caused the application to flag the edit. The image on the right with spaces included is what will prevent an edit from entering the review queue.
