The Places updates layer will display Places with update request(s) pending.
The Place Update Request (PUR) markers show the location of a pending Place updates.
indicates a request for a new place.
indicates a request for a new place photo
indicates a request with new place details
The work for the PUR mediator is to check the request. If it is nothing serious, reject it otherwise add missing details. It is recommended to approve incomplete requests, save, and then edit the place to correct the wrong information so it can be used as a destination to navigate to.
Because every user can become blacklisted and banned from adding places once they have tried adding a certain amount of places or updates which have been rejected, it is better to approve all serious meant requests and only reject not serious ones.
Example
