merging existing location nodes
Sometimes when a location is accessed different ways (search vs. exact address vs cross streets), it becomes two or more separate nodes.
It would be great to provide a 'nodes near this node' that shows all public nodes in a close proximity, with the option of merging one or more with the currently selected one.
I would recommend that the end users simply be able to suggest a merge, or vote a suggested merge up or down, with specific cutoffs that either kill the suggestion or perform the actual merge based on votes and time passed since the suggestion. Also, visitors who post more often to one of the suggested nodes could have a heavier vote weight (to an extent).

Inappropriate?We are going to institute crowd wisdom similar to how you are suggesting. Additionally the mapping portion will have clustering of nodes at high zoom levels.
I’m excited

Inappropriate?I was about to ask for this as well, then found this thread. I've got several places now where I've identified a location by address, or just by street, as I wasn't searching for the right thing. Then I find it later as a named place, or I refine the location details.
We need several options:
- when doing an address only search, the results should pop up known nearby locations with a message like "We've found the locations below near that address? Were you looking for one of these?" Of course, if the answer is no, you can go on, but you could also pick from the results.
- being able to merge two locations with an option that says something like "Merge this location into... (more refined location)". On doing this, the less detailed/desired location disappears and checkins become a part of the more detailed/desired one.
Thanks!
I’m keen for this to happen
