Minor POI database bug?

I have submitted a couple of deletions to the POI database in the last week or so - both of them to the Woolwich ATM category, where the branch has been closed down and the ATM removed.

Both appear to have been actioned, yet on the POI download page, the date of the last update to that category is still showing as 2007-03-28. Could this be a bug in the database software?

Yes, I know it's fairly minor, and isn't of earth-shattering proportions, but it might cause a little confusion. It may be worth some investigation when time permits.

The updating of the POI database is not a fully automated setup. At times this can create a few days backlog.

Each change has to be manually sanctioned. If it wasn't some unsavoury activity might be going on. ;)

I appreciate what you're saying, Richard, and I'm always happy to wait a couple of days before expecting to see any changes to the database. However, I'm not sure if you have misunderstood my point

I believe the changes have been applied to the database - the icons have certainly disappeared from the map on the submission page. What hasn't been updated is the Last Updated Date on the download page, which gives the impression that the d/b hasn't been changed. I assumed this date was automatically updated at the same time as you made the manual changes to the database - am I mistaken?

Have you tried downloading the database and checking to see they have been removed?

I have now - yes, as expected they have been removed, but the date still hasn't been amended.
