BTW, can I apply to be an area manager?

Hi d2FuZw,

Welcome to Waze community again. As last you found here . Again as per my welcome message throught the private message, please read the Wazeopedia before keep going on editing.

For naming the places, I know there is no guideline for China yet but the basic principle will be similar to naming the street. Please use Chinese only for name then use English for as an alternative name.

I’ll approve your places as soon as possible. You did a wonderful job to place so many places. One more thing, please enter as much information as you can especially the Google map link.

If you have any further queries, feel free leave a message here or send me a private message.

Cheers,

Leo

Just found this segment. You need to validate it. Otherwise it will become red and will not be shown on the map. And I believe this segment’s road type should be ‘ram’.
https://www.waze.com/editor?env=row&lon=114.06645&lat=22.66418&zoom=6&segments=373134346

but good job you set the restriction correctly. many newbies do not know about it, just paved the segments.

Actually, it can be treat as ramp. In fact, it’s just a long right turn.

I saw u changed the place English name as alternative. But I wrote the name as other guys did, add the English name after the Chinese. And the all street name is like that.
So, a place name should use alternative, the street just after the Chinese?

This place I created is wrong, I deleted it. Plz approve.
Thx.

Done

leocylau · April 1, 2019, 12:08pm

Hmm…yes, it can be treated as ramp or street in this instance. I’ll let you to decide it but please validate it first.

leocylau · April 1, 2019, 12:14pm

There is a bit of history. The street name in Chinese/English format has been set in few cities before I jumped in to set them separately in primary name and alternative name. During the China Mapraid few years ago, we decided to keep what has been done in these cities but all new segments/places should be used the new format, i.e. separate the Chinese and English name. You can imagine using Chinese/English together will make the name so long to display in a small mobile phone screen. So please don’t use Chinese/English format anymore. In the future, Waze may support multi-langurages then we will update all the names in one go.

Hi d2FuZw,
Please check if I missed any places that I haven’t approved them.
One more tip. When you create a place, you can create an entry point (or stop point). Please see the link here for your reference: https://wazeopedia.waze.com/wiki/USA/Places#Setting_the_stop_point_for_a_Place

It is very useful when the place is large or there are many roads around it. It can ensure that Waze will direct us to the right entrance and not the backyard or something.

This road is lvl 2, I cannot edit it.
So many streets connect the road cannot add turn or connection.

d2FuZw · April 4, 2019, 2:42am

Yeah, recently, I’m adding the entrance.

emm, lots place you missed, so I deleted and added again, but these two requires approval.

leocylau · April 5, 2019, 11:42am

Downlocked for you
I’ll leave them at L1.

leocylau · April 5, 2019, 11:44am

Approved. Don’t forget to add the ‘Entry Point’.
