Question 1

What is a Place?

A Place is any physical object falling under the concept of "tourist attraction" (a museum, a temple, an old building, a pedestrian street, a park, etc.). The object has a number of properties such as Name, Short Description, Address, Site (if any), Type, Category, etc. You can also attach photos. Only registered users can create Places.

Question 2

What is a Review?

Accepted Answer

A Review - detailed information about a Place, including text and photos. Only registered users can create them. In fact, the Review is an author’s mini-tour of a tourist object. Reviews can be supplemented and edited at any time.

Question 3

Moderation

Accepted Answer

After the user creates/edits a Place/Review, they are first checked by the site administrators (moderation). And only after successful completion of it information appears on the site. If the object created by the user is rejected by the administrator (for one reason or another), it is given the status of "Rejected" and a notification with the reason is sent to the user’s mail. In the future, the Place/Review can be finalized and sent back to the moderation.

Question 6

User's Personal Account

Accepted Answer

The Personal Account consists of several bookmarks.
1) Settings.
Here you can change personal data.
2) My Places and Reviews.
Here users see their created Places and Reviews, and their status (Posted, Moderated, Rejected, etc.). When clicking on the Place/Review, a user gets into the window for editing the corresponding object.
3) Favorites.
In this section a user sees the Places he previously selected (which he might like to visit). Opposite each Place there is a checkmark "current" – thereby, the users mark the Places that they plan to visit first (in the near future). Such Places are displayed at the top of the list.
