• Gas Stations

The Great Lakes region will follow the USA naming standard for gas stations that do not have a named convenience store. For gas stations that also have a convenience store with its own name, we will use a hyphenated name:
gas_station_brand - convenience_store_name.

• Place Lock Standard
  

Places should be locked to the below standards, only after all data fields have been filled. At a minimum ensure that Category, Name and Address (street and house number), and Brand (for gas stations) have information. Note for gas stations - DO NOT USE THE BRAND "UNBRANDED". If it is a no brand gas station, just leave the brand field blank.

Any place that has at least a correct category, correct name, and correct address with house number should be locked to 3.
