While we are very grateful for the input of new, and amended, locations, it would be extremely helpful if all submitters could follow the guidelines in the First Post of this Sticky.
One of the most important is:

4. The contents of the Comments box.
Please use the Comments box as it is very reassuring to see "repositioned using local knowledge" when the Action selected is "Confirm existing POI" but the co-ordinates are different to those of the original. It really does help the reviewer if you state in the Comments box what you are changing when submitting a "Change existing POI" request.
For instance you may be just updating a phone number so please say so.
If you don't give any information about what you are trying to achieve, it is very difficult to second guess.
If there is nothing to go on, don't be surprised if your efforts are passed over. Not because we want to, but we need to be sure we know what you are trying to do.
Please read the whole of the OP as there are a lot of submissions that don't confirm in some way, and having to correct so many makes the task so much greater at this end. _________________ Richard

This is just to repeat the above post. The bulk of the submissions are still not using the Comments Box, and it's not making life easy.
Even when a Removal has been selected, it would be helpful if a simple "now closed" is add.
For those who do, thank you very much.

To the DataBasers,
Q) When submitting a POI to PgpsW is the specific web page of that POI of any use to you? and If so, which is the correct field on the submissions page to place it in?
I ask because so many SatNavs/phones are equipped with internet functions, a web page, specific for that POI (not just a generic web page such as www.tescos.com) can provide a wealth of addition information such as opening hours, admission charges, access, parking, etc. _________________ TomTom GO 730, GO 930, GO 940 & Rider2.
