I would like to move or copy the External Providers section from the Kentucky page to the Places page under the General Tab. Does anyone have any objections or improvements to the section?

I suggest updating text and screenshots to the US English localization?
Yea, I will do that now.
I like the concept. A couple thoughts from my experiences linking address pins.
-
A saving error will occur if the GM pin is too far from the Waze place. I don’t know what the distance is, but I’ve had errors occur from as little as a few meters. Solution to that is to move the place pin almost on top of the GM pin and then link. Save, move the place pin back to where it belongs and save again.
-
If the GM address does not exist, then it’ll still throw a saving error, but that solution is to create the Google pin where it’s appropriate, alleviating the need to use up a link slot.
-
Others have said that an area will be thrown if the address is for an area venue (such as an airport), then saving errors will be thrown, with no recourse.
I am not sure we include any other save errors in the Place wiki. My opinion would to keep this as simple of a how-to as we can.
Edit: I see two on there.
Another problem with linking Addresses occurs when the Google Address is associated with a Building Polygon and is not actually an Address Marker. If the address marker does not exist there will be an error.
So we don’t have to mention the error, I changed the mention of address linking to:
This can also be linked to a street address point for the business if the address point exists in Google Maps.
Awesome. So besides a few grammar updates I think that addition to the Wiki is good then.
