Users "level 1" have been limited ablility to mark places for deletion (like now we are only able to delete 5 places as long as being user "level 1"). I think it's not fair! Admin should restrict only 5-10 places marked per day. That's enough to prevent vandalism because when we mark some places for deletion, it will be deleted in 8 days. During that time, advanced users have enough time to verify it. They will confirm or cancel it. Thanks!

Okay, will change to.
Less a week old users will have 5 active deletions (per week)
Less a month old users will have 10 active deletions (per week)
Less a two month old users will have 25 active deletions (per week)
Other non-privileged users 75 active deletions.
(to abuse vandalism)

korakine, One non-privileged user sent a message to me. He said that he couldn't delete places near 1 month ago. Can you give him reason?

His nickname is Tamhai

I was going to say that you should always see the option, but you'd get a message saying you can't delete if you tried. At least I think that's the way it used to work.

Now it appears that you are not even shown the option if it doesn't apply to you. And probably the schedule of active deletions has been revised once again.

In your case I'm guessing you are not quite meeting the exact criteria and should wait at least another day or two and see what happens.

I am unable to delete place immediately, can you please grant me rights to clean places which are inappropriately created and also kindly let me know, how to protect the place/road/landmark created from deletion

rasikdave,

I think within the last few hours you have requested deletion of many places. There is a limit a level 1 user can delete in one go. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact number. I am sure other users could remind me. You just have to wait till next time for more deletions. Alternately you could ask level 2 users to confirm your deletions and this way can help to speed up the process to a small degree.

As to protect your created tags, this privilege is only given to UL2. Also there is not even this protection for road edit no matter what level status of that user.

sebaiknya anda pilih forum berbahasa Indonesia, dan usahakan ada posisi dari tempat yg dimaksudkan utk didelete (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="wikimapia.org/#lat=-6.4493455&;lon=106.8466973&z=16&l=0&m=b">wikimapia.org/#lat=-6.4493455&;lo ... 16&l=0&m=b<!-- m -->). anda juga bisa berpartisipasi untuk mengedit sendiri dengan cara ((>menu >edit this place))

I got a message: "You've got too much places to delete (751). You cannot delete more." I waited 5 hours and tried again getting that message again with my second delete. I'll wait 16 hours now.

Hi!

In my opinion, all the infos from the place tag should have been erased before deleting it...

There is one thing that Wikimapia cannot do and it's to erase the infos given by Google Search :-(
Google makes its updates once a month or once per 2 months I think so chances are you will still find stuff there for a while sadly :-(

Let me undelete the place, clear it of all the infos, move it to another location and delete it once again; this will at least make you feel a little bit more comfortable I think.

There you go: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="wikimapia.org/#lat=14.6344836&;lon=121.1200538&z=19&l=0&m=b&v=8&show=/1941223/Nothing-there-Deleted">wikimapia.org/#lat=14.6344836&;lo ... re-Deleted<!-- m -->

It's been moved a few km out of the sector and will be deleted soon :-)

As I said, Google Search might still show the place but after their next update it should be gone for good...

Regards

myanandin,

It usually takes 8 days for deletions to be actioned for Level 1 users like yourself. There is also a set quota for the amount of deletions you can request, however, I do not know the figures for the allowance.

If you are having problems with requesting further deletions please report the problem here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="wikimapia.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=4">wikimapia.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=4<;!-- m -->

Maybe you have a quota of about 75 deletion.

To know when you can remove more, you can check on your profile in the "Delete object requests" and then check to 8 days ago is already deleted all.

You can also set the number of deletion for example 5 times the deletions of every day, the rest could be used which is really important, with consideration on the eighth day, your quotas still exist, then the next day you still can delete.

You also may request assistance from other users to delete a place:

Here, I came across a user "sumitsimple"
and going through his history I found most of his additions were either non existent while rest few were individual houses without any useful information. All his markings were full of abuses and F-words.

here is the link for your reference: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="wikimapia.org/#lat=25.6102398&;lon=85.1585349&z=19&l=0&m=b&show=/sys/user/%02uid%01559280%00user%01info%00obj_id%0115483089">wikimapia.org/#lat=25.6102398&;lo ... 0115483089<!-- m -->

Please delete all his creations and ban him if you people think him to be deserving a ban.

Thank You

It is confirmed that those tags were abusive, this user was lucky enough not to be caught several months ago but this user must be banned. I am starting to delete those and process with this inactive dirty mouth user.

@mohan23wiki,

Now in 2 hours. :-)

If you were to find other bad stuff please erase the content (title & description) before deleting it :-)

PS: if you find bad comments they should also get erased before deletion of the place
You can request comment deletions here <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="wikimapia.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=245">wikimapia.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=245<;!-- m --> (The place will also be deleted after by a moderator)

--> This is to avoid having the deleted place still showing from Google search (although their updates can take up to 2-3 months)

Thanks a lot for posting your request! :-)
