The refinement phase hasn’t taken place yet. Grammatical checks still need to be performed. I welcome any and all suggestions on rewriting of a paragraph to make it more accurate, while still leaving it understandable to lower rank users.tonestertm wrote:Please correct the inconsistency in the spelling of ZIP (correct usage is all caps).
This paragraph has problems. The app can most certainly find post offices without the PO category, in instant results. The problem is, when the search term "post office" is pushed to a full search, the app will then conduct a "category search" and return any Waze place which has the category, "POST OFFICE" assigned. Since the vast majority of people searching for a post office are, in fact, looking for a USPS facility, not (for instance) a shipping store, and the latter tend to clog results, we must restrict the usage of the POST OFFICE category to only genuine USPS retail facilities.Waze Mobile App searches for "post office" will find Waze places only if they have the Post Office category or have a Google link to a Post Office. Thus, it is important we limit the amount of places we add the Post Office category to.
p.s. why are Mobile and App capitalized?
The things you pointed out are not part of this thread and the current PNH vote. You pointed out issues with the paragraph about categorization, which has already been published, as well as typographical errors in capitalization which can be easily fixed. I’ll make those changes as you suggested. Thank you for catching them.
This thread and the vote ongoing is about the naming convention only. Other threads exist for the category as well as area vs point.
