I added loads of new things in my area and a user keeps on changing them and there wrong I should know I live here is there a way to report this user I’m only map editor level 2 and he keeps locking it so I can’t change it back sooooo maadddd!! Please help
- Where are you located? City, State/Country.
- Are you editing to the Editing Guidelines?
- Have you read the Editing Section of the Waze wiki?
- Have you read the Best Practices section of the Waze wiki?
- Have you read the Waze FAQ?
- Have you read the appropriate Country/State specific pages of the Waze wiki?
- If you are in the US, have you read the Near-Final USA Landmark Guidelines?
I’m from the uk I am edditing to the guidelines I’ve read the editing section and the best practices and the faq I think he just wants to get his name on everything un the area I love edditing things like this (sad I know) but u quite enjoy it but why spend hours on it when some fool keeps changing it
I’m going to PM this to a few of the UK guys… In the meantime, have you seen the United Kingdom Editing Guidelines [UPDATED OCT 2013] and all the wiki links there?
yes l have seen It thanks
thanks everyone i have realized my mistakes at the time i thought red roads were pending my mistake most roads that i added dont have names and i didnt click on the check boxes for the street name sorry
Hi Matt6746, I am the editor you are referring to. I’m glad you’ve now found the forums and had some time to look at the wiki. I think you now understand why I had to make some edits to your work. When I first saw the edits you were making I sent you some private messages with links to the wiki and offering any help. When I saw that you were not reading these messages I had to lock the segments of major road to prevent any bad navigation for the end user.
I am the ‘Area Manager’ for this area and I very much welcome your contribution. I don’t know this particular area very well so any help from you is much appreciated. Most of your edits have been spot on. I would ask you to have a look through the guidance again though. You have been mapping out, in detail, car parks. We wouldn’t usually add every lane in a car park. This isn’t breaking anything so it’s not an urgent matter, just something I’d like you to revisit if you could.
The idea of waze is not to perfectly mimic the aerial images, we just want to provide good quality navigation to the users. That’s why I undid some of the work you did on roundabouts where you split entry and exit roads.
Anything I can do to help, please do not hesitate to contact me. Posting on the forum is a good way to seek assistance as the community is very supportive.
Happy Wazing 
Hi Matt,
Nice to have contact with someone in the same county.
Sorry I’m so late to the party, but I was searching the fora to try and resolve a problem of my own - you’re probably a L3 Editor now!
No one’s getting at you and deliberately changing your edits, it’s just how Editors work. If an Editor is dealing with a problem near to where you had been working and happens to be using a validator script, then any mapping errors will show up in various colours. If he is conscientious (and not all are!) they will correct these errors as a matter of course - it’s not personal!
One example: Phoenix Cl. I see you’ve added access into the Fire Station (and set it as a Landmark too!) You have made this one way. However, you have forgotten to allow turns into this from both segments of Phoenix Cl. This is the sort of thing other Editors might pick up and correct.
But the only time this road could be driven would be by a Firefighter in a fire engine: I would be inclined to delete the segment which drives straight through the fire station, not forgetting to delete the redundant node on Bryans Ln, which could slow the navigation along here. You would then be left with a short segment into the fire station car park which, by definition, would need to be two-way.
There are other errors in the permalink given by mrgrumpy; some are yours, some are not - I’ll leave you to find them and correct them yourself, but (hint!) watch out for no outward connectivity from dead-ends in car parks and make sure you confirm the turns of culs de sac.
You are a very neat mapper and, though I’m not sure that every single car park needs adding to the mapping, the ones that you have put in look pretty good to me.
We all make errors in mapping and it sometimes seems like an endless cycle of correcting the errors of other Editors, so, why don’t you get your own back? Your AM biccies drew the original Phoenix Cl, but it’s not quite right. The cul de sac needs to be extended to the north to service no fewer than 19 houses at the end of the road. Having this road correctly drawn will be important when we Editors turn to the task of House Numbering (!) Oh, and mrgrumpy, who is a Level 6 Editor, no less, in the permalink he sent you in this thread has left two mapping errors of his own! (Deliberately, no doubt, to allow you to correct them :D)
Happy Mapping!
Mike
I’m in South Africa. I enjoy reading these kind of issues. Apparently we are a very few editors here. The initial mapping of main roads are really bad, even worse when audited with the guidelines. So I tend to smooth out things. The problem is, the editors add so many points on a segment, that I find it easier to delete the segments, and make new ones. The problem now is, for each split segment I delete to make a single segment, I delete the navigation time statistics for each node and segment.
I just wish to tidy up my city, plus reducing the unnecessary nodes, in order to reduce the calculation time of routing. The more complex the city becomes, the more segments to wander, in order to get optimal routes. I am studying A.I. at the moment, thus I do have understanding of how Waze may be working. But, I know the servers has load of crunching power, so reducing the nodes may, or not, help…
Which leads to my next question. How can I delete the hundreds of points on a segment, to make editing much easier and save the segment statistics by keeping the original segment? I just need to get rid of the points. Many roads are way off on satellite and GPS data, but the segment has loads of edit points. So I rather delete the segment, and make a new one. Pity the data gets lost…
Is it possible to delete the edit points on a segment?

If you want, we can move this thread to the UK forum
rodindlc, you can move it, but before you, please answer my question first, hehehe… Can I delete points on a segment???

Ah, welcome back MikeRyalls. I noticed you’d made a return to editing the other day 
Maybe MikeRyalls wants a promotion thus needs some edit points

Hi,
You will find that for those roads that have been added via the Waze app (Pave roads in the reporting section) will have more points than a roads added via a user in the editor.
Or maybe some editors believe that by doing this they will get even more points… Editing for the sake of editing (and not for the sake of adding quality/value to the app/map) is sad.
