Landmarks discussion: OBSOLETE?
The discussion that follows may be obsolete, based on coming changes to the landmarking system. All I know is what I read in this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=276&t=82412
FYI, I've started a new thread in this forum, for any feedback on local issues, here:
viewtopic.php?f=305&t=82767
------------
Here's the earlier locked thread that has the latest discussion about what's to be landmarked:
http://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=129&t=38934
I do note that it was locked in February and even though this has been described as the near-final list, as far as I can tell, final guidelines still haven't been added to the Wiki for the U.S. as a whole.
I've made some deletions of small businesses that were landmarked but thought it's best to hash this out a bit. Waze sells advertising for businesses, so I get why they don't want to give away such labeling. The really manini stores/"stalls" are a pretty easy call, but it gets dodgy deciding on what constitutes a fairly major shopping center (to be mapped) as opposed to a strip mall (not to be mapped as a landmark). There are other debatable points, too, I'm sure.
But I thought we should read over this list and use much of it as standard (how to map/label post offices, for example). Anyone got specific/general comments here?
