Live, 23 Oct · updated 25 Oct
Checked against the live guide curator, the live map and the place rules. Where this page differs from them:
- Each guide sets its own place unit: town, neighbourhood, colonia or county. This page reads that setting. Maine and its child guides count places by town everywhere, Portland included. Out East counts by area, then town. Montréal, New York and Toronto count by neighbourhood.
- A place reaches a guide map only through its guide entry. A place with coordinates but no guide entry shows here as "not in any guide yet", and it is not on any map.
- Entries marked private are hidden from the public map. This page still counts them in its guide list, so read a private entry as not public.
- Pins use the place's own coordinates first, then the guide entry's. New coordinates come from the server-side address lookup and are checked against the guide's other pins; anything more than 25 km from them is stopped for a look by hand (house geocoding rule). This page shows the place's coordinates only.
- The guide curator has moved on. Its decision is Review, Yes, Hold or No, with a Favourite mark, "I stayed here" stories and "Hard to find" directions. The Decision row here does not show Favourite.
- Research (25 Oct). The places research job now saves through its own save function. It fills only empty fields: website, Instagram, hours, founder, opened year, reservations, price, directions and cultural lands. It keeps what is already there, and never sets your rating, your map decision, your pick, notes or bio; a rating idea can only go in as a suggestion. Anything unsure becomes a To check.
- The stage percentages, checked 25 Oct. Research % is six things: description, website, Instagram, a pin, the place unit, and founder or opened year. 85% or more shows done; under 60% shows a gap. Curated counts entries that have both a tagline and a curation note. Research can fill three of the six (website, Instagram, founder or opened year); the description, pin and place unit come from elsewhere, so research alone never reaches done.
Still not checked line by line: every field the guide curator now writes.
