Editor for hire

Post by dmcconachie
Folks, I've had a few requests recently and more than happy to troubleshoot or lend a hand where I can anywhere in the UK. As such, please fill out this form if you need a hand with anything. No promises of magical solutions but I'll take a look asap and fix whatever I can!

The more detail you can get into the request the better but no essays please! ;-)

How about adding some info about Darren to the wiki? It might look slightly out of place on http://www.waze.com/wiki/index.php/United_Kingdom but it would be easy to find and might give him more opportunities to encourage map editors to become an Area Manager.

This was my original plan however for some bizarre reason the UK forum is the only one I am unable to make a post sticky! :roll:
Done 8-)
How did you manage that?

I moved this topic to a place where I have more rights. I made it sticky.
Than I moved it back.
:ugeek:
Clever!

Back to (sort of) the original thread. I've now got UK wide rights but I plan to exercise them in very limited fashion. I'll stay within the M25 boundaries working on major routes getting directions correct, and naming and type consistency. Since no-one is that pro-active in NW London I'll spend time around there.

n emergencies I am around to help sort out other problems. However, I'm not going to get much time to do anything other than my update requests in my normal area.

If someone thinks I should have other priorities please chime in.

Oh yes, I'm still retiring at 400k points ;)

Update Requests are 140 pages worth and the buggers are not going down despite 3-4 hours a day working through them :evil:
That's both good and bad. Problem up here is we're still not quite at a useful mass of users. Get a text to put at the end of your UR to try and entice them into editing!

Point of this "Editor for hire" idea is more as a troubleshooter than mass requests! Plenty of the latter myself! :)
