How get an edit approved?

Hello,

I wrote the following about a navigation error I encountered…

Later I attempted an edit by adding a Parking Lot Road…

What is the next step? Thanks.

Hello TNT1001,

The Parking Lot Road (PLR) has to be connected to E Main St. Without that connection, there will be no turns for the PLR.

In order to edit E Main St, you’d have to have a Level 3 ranking. As you have stated you are new, you most likely have a Level (L1) ranking. Someone L3 or above will need to unlock that for you. There is forum where you can get those unlocks or you can be added to a Google Hang Out (GHO) where editors of all different levels frequent. If you have a Gmail address, and can supply that to me, I will be happy to add you to the Central Ohio GHO.

Unfortunately I am unable to help with the editing in this area because it’s out of my editable area and I only have an L2 ranking.

Let me know if this helps.

I appreciate the explanation Dave. Rather than creating a Google account at this time, I’d be pleased if you could simply point me to the forum where I can make the unlock request. Thanks.

Disregard Dave. I figured out the link and have just posted a request for an unlock.

Tom, I’d be glad to help but I don’t have editing rights in central OH. (My area covers all across northern OH roughly north of US-224 and I-76, and all of western OH to just east of Springfield.) For fast response, you may want to send a PM to one of the state managers for OH - I believe TerryPerdue may be the most active in the central part of the state but any of them could help.

Unlock complete!

Please let us know when it’s safe to lock back up.

Thanks, and welcome!

Sorry for the self-reply, but wanted to share the resulting success story the original poster attached to another thread on this topic.

Thanks to everyone who pitched in – really great job. Go Ohio! :slight_smile:
