Places to be on Wikimapia

Rules for places: Non-movable places that exist at this moment of time.

Examples of what should be on the map:

• All visible objects (buildings, lakes, rivers, roads, harbor facilities etc.)

• Newly constructed buildings, which are not visible on the satellite image. When placing such items, make sure to be accurate!

• Visible settlements such as cities, towns, villages, and neighborhoods. A category must be properly assigned here.

• It is also preferred that you add title and information to the tag to give a valid explanation of what the item actually is (ie. "lake", "building", "123 Any Street")(See http://wikimapia.org/wiki/User_Guide:_Places_and_Place_Tags#Title). Tags without titles will be removed per one of the deletion explanations below.


Examples of what should not be on the map:

• Non-existent places, even if they were there in the past.

• Planned buildings or roads, which have not been constructed yet.

• Movable objects or vehicles: buses, cars, ferries, airplanes, ships etc.

• A non-existing place where any event happened or is to occur.

• A personal house without an address or any useful information.

• A duplicate tag of a place previously marked.

• Advertising of any kind, personal or irrelevant photos.

Exceptions:

Movable or historical objects and places that are very well-known, famous or very interesting and do not clutter the map or visually conflict with other places, may be added.
